I was depressed at my caliber of friends when I had a drug problem. This was the result.
LYRICS:
Most my friends are embryonic
Most my friends are hooked on phonics
Most my friends stick to the comics page
Most my friends are disillusioned…
This song was a challenge to write . . .
LYRICS:
Order for your protection
under threat of a gun
You might be confined here
till the damage is done
Lock him up and toss the key
It's for your own good
Straightjacket
Done
Tie me…

I have no money. That sucks.

Not my usual sort of music but I think this is particulary well done. Would have like the vocals just a shade more up front in the mix. Did I say great playing.......Willie
First song of 2011 . . .
LYRICS:
She has a disease
Never learned to please anyone
else other than herself
Fuck the world and give em hell
She's down on her knees
Swaying in the breeze and when she
leans that way I go along
Bending…
Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .

LYRICS:
Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…

I'm getting sick of the same old chords.
LYRICS:
I'm retarded
I'm a stooge
I can keep myself amused
Have a hand in
my abuse
Set a spark and light the fuse
I'm retarded
I am rude
I am average
I'm obtuse
We don't use that word…
Sometimes I hate everyone.
LYRICS:
Do I remember? I forget
Self-delusional sensitive mess
Cannot exist without a complaint
Cannot resist without a restraint
Is it amnesia or ambivalence
Cowardice or self-defense
I know enough to…
Some people need to fall down every now and then.
LYRICS:
Won't you ever go away
cause I feel the same way too
Did you have your kicks and eat them too
Did you ever cross the line
I confess is undefined
Did you have your taste of…

I recorded this back in February for the RPM... then I got all distracted by non-discontent and work. I finally decided to go ahead and just abandon the album - but here is the one decent track I made :)
Light a Fire
============
everyday…
So I moved to North Carolina to be closer to family and it's been a good experience. However it was tough to leave some people behind. This song is about that.
BTW, there is a riff about 8 minutes in written by my buddy Chris Schugg
LYRICS…
Something new for ya. Had to piece this one together . . . wasn't much to go on since Nirvana was just messing around on this song, but that's part of the fun, extrapolating stuff.
For the record, I used the chords for the chorus that Nirvana…
To my listeners: Wish there was a reply button for comments . . . I really do appreciate all the kind comments, it makes me feel like I'm not singing into the void.
I wanted to do a country song for my brother Mike, but I really don't know much about country music. This is the result.
Hope you like it, Mike.
LYRICS:
Ain't got no woman
Ain't got no car
All I got is bills

I thought this was a cool title until I found out what it was.
This person is just using the site so he can get his podcasts on iTunes. I'm waiting for someone to give 'em the heave ho.
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
A Track recorded at Studio #20 in 1997 on an ADAT machine in the early hours of the morning. Now, for the first time, seeing the light of day once again!

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

HAPPY
Everybody asks me why I'm so happy
They will get the message when they see your face...

Buddy Holly's music has been very central to my life.
Sometimes I try to write a Buddy Holly song.
I really REALLY like this . . . . I really dig the hard sound. This rocks . . . very Beatleseque in a good way.
Surprised I never checked out your stuff before now.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Holy fuck, how cool where those amplified guitars!!!!! I would have never expected this song to take that turn.
Seriously, awesome job on outrocking most of the boys on the radio. Reminds me of Heart in a way.
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

what is a friend? , friend?
Kick@ss Vox dude! Nice and disturbing as it should be :D
Cor, dig that descending bass!
What a cool groovy rock song, you have that dream theater mini sound with the breaks and all...wish it was louder tho..well done.
Smart playing! Really excellent jamming tune!

Crossing Guns and Roses and The Beatles...great mix and harmonies. Like the elongated beat.
You rock too...
got a great offbeat flavor...like it
cool!!!!
Oddly appealing! I know the feeling! Dig that angular guitar solo!
Cool tune.
This is a great tune, Jane's Addiction meets Gary Numan
beatlesque !
yo
Very cool! Dig the guitar work!
Awesome!!!!
Cool song - I like the mellow vocals compared to the heavier music, makes for an interesting sound
Nice! Can't go wrong with cowbell AND feedback!
Excellent work!
Comments made by Permanent Tourist
Nice.
Nice.
Wistful. Right up my alley.
If someone has a problem with my personal views, stay the fuck off my music page!
@ Guest . . . yeah I probably would. ;)
@ Zack Facco I write them out, and then I play/record each part twice.

Hmm- this sounds so familiar . . . .
Love your stuff, but when will there be something new?!?!? Grrr . . . . :)
I like the chord choice as well.
Where is this Rose, and where can I meet her?
More polychords make their appearance . .. you're a sneaky composer, almost like Ralph Vaughn Williams meets Isaac Albeniz, if that makes sense.

Wonderful tones . . . soothing

I dig it. (I'm not criticizing, but a tiny bit of reverb/echo on the drums would be perfect.)
Your stuff seems to getting more adventurous and progressive, and I really like it. Why no thumbs up icon?
This is very good. P.S. I'd really love to hear you do something with a heavier Sabbathy/AIC-type riff underneath.
