When I Come Around, (green day cover) audio

When I Come Around, audio Somehow I am amused about the band Green Day. Coming from the Oakland punk scene and being accused of selling out, now they have faded back into relative unpopularity. I love four chord punk tunes because I can actually play them. It seems to me that , as a friend said to me, “It’s all SHOWBIZ BABY!!”

Barton Hollow, (civil wars cover)

Barton Hollow, audio Okay, I am told that I preface bad experiences for some reason. So I guess this is a warning to all, that, here is my mammoth attempt at the Barton Hollow tune by the Civil Wars. Ever hear a cat die? I suppose it sounds something like this.

HEY LADY REMIX, original music, audio

Hey Lady I woke up, felt sick, had to work, took to much, couldn’t catch up with my thoughts. I spun my head quickly, all I could see was a blur. I recalled a dream. There are people who base their lives around reason. There are people who base their lives around emotions. There are people who base their lives around people. There are people who base their lives around money. How do you see the world? Hey lady, treating your body []

Old Vinyl

Digging an old groove. Well-worn, spinning. In emotions that others would have forgotten and resold to me in the bargain bin. No need tho, the tune is memorized in the pathways of my mind. I just laugh, “This is sick.” and those were good times, weren’t they?

Say Yes, (elliot smith cover) audio

Say Yes, audio A song for people with brittle emotions. Smith was one of those tortured souls who became more unstable thru the use of psychotropic medicines which hindered his live performance at times. The ultimate do-it-yourself recording artist, he ended his life by literally taking a knife to his heart. I have fun depressing myself with his songs. Enjoy.
