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

Having just recently bought a new acoustic guitar, I've been looking into pickups and am considering the
LR Baggs M1 Active.

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.

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

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

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.

I love seeing how people take the germ of an idea they've had and mold it into a song. I'd be really interested in seeing peoples' processes, illustrated with before and after recordings.

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.

What is the deal with B strings on guitars? Is it just my ears?
Doesn't matter which guitar I'm tuning, when I tune by ear it NEVER sounds right. And then, even with a tuner, I have to adjust it a bit after, I'm never satisfied. Finally sounds good with an Am chord, then you play a C and it's fucked up.
Am I insane?

Nostalgia x 2. Recorded in the mid-'90's as nostalgia for the '80's.

In the mid-to-late '90's I was in a band called Gleaner.
Kind of a "Power Pop" thing, which I always hated calling us as it was such a buzz-term of the time.

At our local supermarket there's a really happy guy that wrangles the shopping carts. He's really, really tall and kind of looks like Lurch. He is always smiling and so into his work that I always wonder what's going on in his head.
He's
my superhero.

This is about the dumbest piece of dumbness ever. I was goofing around on my 7 and 9 year old daughters' keyboard and noticed the "Clav" setting. Ha! I discovered that if I put it through the Crybaby Wah pedal and then through the tube amp that it actually DIDN'T SOUND AT ALL like
Songs in the Key of Life-era Stevie Wonder. Instead it sounded like me acting stupid and then I sang some high-assed background vocals like a fucking idiot and did my whitest ever white-guy impersonation at the beginning.
But it makes me laugh and it's my kids' favourite, go figure.

We are moving in 2 weeks and a while ago we "fluffed" our house to make it look pretty so we could sell it and that entailed removing any trace of human habitation. As a result, all our stuff has been packed away for weeks and I've been going insane in our neatly arranged, showy house in which no one could possibly live a normal life.

A jokey, sloppy kind of thing recorded in 2005 for a web project that never got off the ground. As in many of my songs, I seem to be suffering from some type of sinus issue here. Perhaps the flipside of
buriednexttoyou's awesome
Arboretum from last year, this song tries to be positive about the milestones, the things you
can do once nineteen, in Ontario, Canada. Yes, I know the Paul Hardcastle tune.
why am I posting this?

Recorded quick, titled in a hurry. Kind of sappy with an out-of-tune piano.

A demo from about six years ago. In Canada, the norm is that we don't tend toward the big rah-rah kind of Patriotism that our neighbours to the south are prone to. Ours is a polite, reserved, (Canadian), skeptical patriotism.
There's an F-word in this one, if that sort of thing worries you.

I had this vague melody a year or so ago, and at the time it was starting to become a song about riding my bike at night, drunk. I stuck it on the backburner until after I saw that Johnny Cash bio-pic, where they sing that June Carter duet "Time's a Wastin'" together, (which they never did in real life.) So then I got this idea to write a nice country duet like that, but instead of it being all happy and fresh-new-relationship-let's-consummate-it kinda thing, I wanted it to be about people that hated each other intensely. People that were sick and tired of seeing each other everyday for years and years. Then, for an added twist, I forced my lovely wife to sing the harmony part. We actually do like each other, though.

A second pretty much complete song for the RPM Challenge.
Fancy ears will be able to pick out my attempt at learning to play the Cuatro that was hand-delivered to my front door from the awesome and amazing
Micayetoca in Venezuela.
