Doom and Gloom (cover)

March 16, 2016

Doom and Gloom. “All I hear is Doom and Gloom” A good suggestion would be not to watch or read the news. I always hated that video game anyway. “Fracking deep for oil, but there’s nothing in the sump, There’s kids all picking at the garbage dump, I’m running out of water, so I better prime the pump, I AM TRYING TO STAY SOBER BUT I END UP DRUNK! We will be eating dirt, living on the side of the road.. and […]

an Idea and a Song

March 15, 2016

Oh Sweet Nuthin’ (velvet underground cover) Who is laughing at who? Who is pitying who? Cars driving past Hoover-Ville Park. The vagabonds, at least, know their friends are comrades. War Buddies, perhaps. When one has NUTHIN’, One has NUTHIN’ to LOSE! Unlike the perpetual headache of mortgage payments, car insurance, life insurance, ad infinitum. More money, more problems. More cash, more leeches to scrape off your wallet. Poverty can be a blessing. Dwell upon the idea, next time, in rush hour traffic, […]

Let’s Dance! (cover)

March 14, 2016

Let’s Dance! Bizarr-o Ted was doing Algebra for a psychiatrist who was rambling on about delusions of grandeur. Ted turned to David Bowie and asked, “so..what do YOU think?” The Thin White Duke replied, “THAT’S NO WAY to TREAT A LADY!!”

What Goes On? (cover) for Shay Dee

March 14, 2016

What Goes On? This one is dedicated to my friend Shay Dee who is going through complicated times. ‘One Minute Born, One Minute Doomed, One Minute Up, One Minute Down, What Goes On in Your Mind? I think that I am falling down. Lady be Good, Do what you Should and YOU KNOW It will WORK ALRIGHT! It will BE ALL RIGHT!’

a Song and Rhetorical Questions

March 13, 2016

You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket (white stripes cover). To Ask: Where does the Music want to go? How should I direct the Music of humanity? What is it that humans use Music for? Pleasure? Why? Over the centuries, epochs.. did humans derive pleasure from sound? When did it start? Yeah sure, our ancestors did cave paintings at Lascaux of killing animals, hunting, gathering, images of sex and death, 8,000 years ago. But Music? When? Now it is a commodity. People love […]

Fell in Love With A Girl (cover)

March 12, 2016

Fell in Love With a Girl. I love this Jack White composition. Strangely enough it has always sounded like a really jolted out Kinks tune. A musician friend of mine once commented that he does not use the word ‘girl’ in his music because it sounds strange. ‘Why would grown men sing about girls,’ he asks. I see his point. The song is still cool. Shouts out to PKQueen at the website: https://queentunnel.wordpress.com/ For suggesting that I eliminate reverb and echoe from […]

the Big Take Over! (bad brains cover)

March 10, 2016

the Big Take Over! This was a song that John Frusciante also covered on his solo album. It was written by an old school punk band called Bad Brains. I cannot play that fast, so I did a spin off of Frusciante’s version. (by the way, I am still working on a new drawing that I will get back to right now.) 🙂

Been Insane (john frusciante cover)

March 10, 2016

Been Insane. This was written by the still living guitar player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He quit the group for a brief time in the mid 1990’s. During the hiatus, he penned the tune. Also on a brief note, I am changing the way I create. I will (hopefully) lay tracks, take a break and draw images, then after a few hours, mix the recording and post. I have another new image on the way. This seems to work well […]
