WEEK 60: Slow Me Down


Hiya guyas!

This week's mp3 is a cool instrumental I made in 2004, called "Slow Me Down."

I just really like how the layers add up here, getting more atmospheric and melodic the farther along this goes. I also like the fake accordion in the last 3rd.

What's it about? Well you aren't supposed to ask what instrumentals are about, duh.

WEEK 59: No Show

Hiya fatsos!

This week's MP3 is a full length rocking instrumental from 2005 called "No Show."

I called it that because for the first time ever I had to cancel a show because I got sick. I stayed home that night and made this.

I've always liked this a lot, it's just really fun and and I'm definitely outside of my comfort zone with the guitar soloing. The ending wasn't really figured out, but hey, whateva woiks?

WEEK 58: Honest Guy (live)


Hey guys,

This week's MP3 is a live recording of a rare piano song, called "Honest Guy." It may be better if I don't ramble on about what it's about. Here are the lyrics:

The thing to know
Is I won't go
I've been mean
I've been obscene

I'd like to say
How I've done wrong
But you won't let
Me on your lawn

I've carried so
so much pain
I let it out
It looks insane

Well I've lived here
All my life
I've always been
an honest guy

I've never been
an honest guy
So of course I
was put on trial

The thing to know
Is I won't go
This is my home
This is my home.


I really like this song. I should make a nice recording of it one day. But until then, this is from a 2005 performance at the Sidewalk Cafe on Avenue A.
