Johnny B. Goode (chuck berry cover). Equinoxio asked me to try my hand at Chuck Berry. I was hesitant because I am more of rhythm guitar player. I am not good at leads. Plus Chuck Berry is some sort of rock’n’roll holy grail. Sacred ground upon which not to screw up. So the strange thing with this is that it is 12-bar blues in the key of B flat. I would rather do it in A major because it is easier on […]
One of Us? The song asks if God is one of us? My answer is yes. Of course, I am full of pus which is another song altogether. Here is yet another more family friendly post. 🙂
Destroy before Reading (jesus lizard cover). This tune is dedicated to Kirk and his crazy old room-mate from back in the bad old days. I dunno.. Seems like this sounds to clean and pretty (sarcasm here). So glad my heart didn’t explode during the recording. This pins the tail on the psychotic donkey. I was never good at darts in a beer hall.
Into the Great Wide Open. The other day, I looked into the blue sky realizing that I am no longer a prisoner of my thoughts. I am free. So it dawned on me to do this tune.
Rape Me. Upon reflection, I believe the song was written as a middle finger to the Rock Press, and news organizations that feed off sensationalist stories. What used to be called, yellow journalism. Of course with any work of modern Art, the audience is free to interpret their own personal meaning in a piece. Kurt Cobain exact words on the song were: It’s like she’s saying, ‘Rape me, go ahead, rape me, beat me. You’ll never kill me. I’ll survive this and […]
Electrolite. It is not fair that R.E.M got a song out to the public with chord progressions that I always do and love. Of course, I didn’t notice this until over 15 years after this song was released. So, instead of 20th century go to sleep, it should be Teddy Go to Sleep, Really Deep! I am outta here.
Point to Point Communication. New tune that I wrote in the past few hours. Hopefully the vocals are loud enough in the mix. Hope everyone enjoys it!
20 Flight Rock. This is a more family friendly post. The song used to be performed by Eddie Cochran. I gave my hand at it.
I Can’t Wait. …..and Miss Piggie said the dreaded words, “I think my Kermie is having an affair with that damn bear!”
a Fresh Box. (lyrics) Put Me in a Box Freshen me up For Re-Sale. Package the Salt that Stings the Sores of Your Past. Send it C.O.D! I’ll bury it deep because I’m the Best. I’m the Worst Joke You’ll ever Read in a Box that is Fresh Enough to be Re-Told. I’m M.I.A Dead on Arrival. I’m the Best. I’m the Worst Guy You’ll Ever Meet. Package the Salt that Stings the Sores of Your Past. I’m the Best I’m the […]
