Banjo, cello, and charango, together at last!

I'm going to try to get back on a once-a-week schedule, but no promises.

Edit: The weird buzzing noise is only on the upload, not on my original. I'll try re-uploading it, but if anyone wants a "clean" copy, let me know and I can email it.

Edit2: Actually, the noise isn't in the uploaded file, just when it's streaming from the site. I have no idea why, but you can use the download link to listen to it without the noise if you want.

I borrowed a drum set today, so I was able to rock and roll a little. Due to getting a late start on this one and having some network trouble, I'm a little late tonight. Anyway, here is my impression of '70s riff rock. Enjoy!

I listen to this one on repeat.

Don't read too much into the lyrics on this one (actually, I would hope you wouldn't read much of anything into any of my lyrics). All the lyrics are based on the fact that I felt like the melody of the chorus ought to end every line with an "ow" sound for some reason.

You probably don't realize how difficult it was for me, how much restraint it took, to limit the pseudo-choir backing to just one verse and the bridge. You probably do know that backup vocals are usually my favorite part of pop music, but I know it's easy sometimes to overdo it, and I'd rather miss the pseudo-choir than get sick of it.

I also feel like I should apologize for the slightly onanistic bass part, especially at the end. Just be thankful it fades out where it does.

Short, but short.

Based on a true story, by the way.

I sorta kinda took this week off, but I happened to have this one lying around, so here it is. Spider Explosion did a version of this song a long time ago, but it wasn't really rock and roll back then.

Synthesizer and only one vocal part? I'm not sure I wrote this song.

Not even a little bit.

If you've been listening the last few weeks you will have realized by now that my songs tend to be pretty repetitive. That's okay with me -- I like repetitive music. But if you don't like the repetition, you might get bored with this one (or at least as bored as you can get in under three minutes). If you get really bored, see if you can count the guitars.
