Next Year, (foo fighters cover) audio
Next Year, audio God bless Dave Grohl, this song is sinfully easy and beautiful. It begs the question, who knows how to play Louie Louie? Freakin’ genius.
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.
Kielbasa, (tenacious d cover) audio
Kielbasa, audio Now I have gone and done it, a Tenacious D song. I have officially lost my moral compass and my life is out of control. I am powerless over the D and my life has become unfathomable.
Just Like Heaven, (cure cover) audio
Just Like Heaven (audio) It was inevitable that I cover this song. I have met my destiny, Lord Vader.
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 […]
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.
Sunday Morning, (velvet underground cover) audio
Sunday Morning I have always felt that this was a really peaceful song. Tho really have never cared for Sundays at all, some people don’t like Mondays. I have heard that this is about a hangover. What would you expect Lou Reed to say? For me it is not about that. Lou bought himself a new liver, still didn’t make it. Kurt Cobain may have referenced this tune, in Lithium, there was that line about “sunday morning shave my head” or some […]
I’ll Be Your Mirror, (velvet underground cover)
I’ll Be Your Mirror Dedicated to everyone out in the wonderful internet world who may be having a bad day. Smiles everyone, SMILES!
I Should Have Known, (foo fighters cover)
I want to dedicate this song to Rex Addleman and Krista Brix who we lost to suicide. It is also for others who have had people we care about pass away due to self-destructive behavior. I am lucky to have not fell victim as well. Written by Dave Grohl, not sure if this is about Kurt Cobain, but it certainly describes what one goes thru. And as an aside, I do forgive both Rex and Krista. God bless them!
