Elbow

The first completed song out of the 10 I'm supposed to have done by the end of the month for the RPM Challenge. Don't think I'm going to make it at this rate.

His Last Few Days

I thought it was really darkly comical; you might find it depressing.

Christmas Island

I made my children to sing on another Christmas song. In three-part harmony. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Solitaire

Cover of the Carpenters song.

this is why

More of a slow-building groove than a "song." Probably recorded about 10 years ago, I honestly can't remember.

Fame

Sort of a spare, dirge-like rendition.

Kinderstash

A riff song about using a kid's room to hide contraband. Two tube amps, a 1970's generic-brand Japanese drum kit and some other stuff.

If I Had One

Sort of a sappy one.

Boron Rod

I entered this over at Songfight a few months ago. The song for that week had to be titled "Boron Rod." I didn't know what that was so I had to look it up.

They Don't Run Your Life

Another pep talk for the anxious and non-confrontational.

A long time ago, cortex asked for versions of this iconic Elliot Smith song.

People Got to Be Free

Cover of The Rascals' song that was a Billboard #1 hit on the day I was born. With a bit of a nod to "The Model."

Heavenly Club

This song was #1* on the day I was born.

Circles

Really old demo recording that I recently found on a decaying tape.

Sorry You Died

A song begun a few years ago and just recently finished. I recorded the initial acoustic guitar track last summer in the boathouse, using a condenser and also the stero mic on my video camera. While fighting off mosquitos.

Really quick and dirty, from memory. R.I.P Alex.

It's so hard to see through the filth and the grime.

Meanest Words

I can't stand it when a couple will fight with, swear at, humiliate or completely demean each other in front of a room of people. It happens a lot.

Heroin

In the style of Leonard Cohen. Just kidding. For the Velvet Underground challenge thing.

Oh Wow

Brazilian Infomercial fodder.

Not Nice

Another from the waste-bin of demos that never went anywhere. Gauging from the effects unit, I'd say 1996; at least pre-1997.

Folsomlujah

Cohen, prison style.

You Still Look Like You Did Before

I don't know what this is; kind of a pseudo-jugband, neo-bluegrass-ish, Hee-Haw with a whiney singer.

Weird demo. Probably 10 years old. Releasing it to the ether; good riddance.

Never Gonna Stop

I was in a band called gleaner in the late 90's and we recorded four songs at a "real" studio. This was an attempt to make a (power)poppy, happy thing about a stalker-y kind of person. This is the second of the two songs from this session that were mine. The first is here.
