Personal Manager. Here is the back story on why I choose the tune. I have a great friend who always talks of retaining Personal Assistants, Handlers, Tour Managers, and the like. And yeah, I “get it” that these folks are his hired guns. BUT, this song comes to my mind almost every time the topic is approached. And my take on the song, IS that the Personal Manager is a shady son of a bitch. Something screams out at me, “DON’T TRUST THIS DUDE […]
a Psychotic Indiana Sun Left Them Forgetful.
Champagne and Reefer. Alright is another attempt, albeit not very thought out, to get the sound of those old blues dudes who allegedly made those contractual obligations with the dark side and got put out on old 78 records. Just an aside, I am still stone cold clean and sober, hope to carry that trend out for the rest of my daze.
Right now I am having some difficulties with getting my new video to play. It is making me want to pull what little hair I have left on my head COMPLETELY OUT! That would at least solve the bad hair days into years problem. Ah but I digressed. I have a really cool new video that I have worked all day on.. so a few of you might have noticed the problem. It could be that , some sort of power that […]
Just a note on why the recording sounds the way it does. I was trying to get a really scratchy old sound, like an old 78 record of a blues man on a Victrola player, some sort of Decca recording. I wanted the song to sound as if it came from hell, or a person who had been there and back again. That being said, this is not pretty. Hang You from the Heavens. (lyrics) I never know how to treat you […]
Even the Losers, live. (lyrics) Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon And I’d show you stars you never could see Baby, it couldn’t have been that easy to forget about me Baby, time meant nothing, anything seemed real Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel Like every word you said was meant to be No, it couldn’t have been that easy to forget […]
(lyrics) I sit and work all day. Sit and work, try to make it play. I’m not good, not good. I’m not good, not good NOW! Practice hard for 20 years. Practice hard, it’s hard on your ears. Cuz, I’m not good, not good. Not good, not good NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! Maybe I should buy a book and sound like I should. Maybe get some cash and sound like an ass. I’m not good, not good. Not good, not […]
I was surfing the internet today checking out blog posts. I came across one that made me think of the Green Day Song called ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, in an entirely new light. The thought was that the lyrics were an accurate expression of the internal experiences of someone who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. I have had friends who struggle with the affliction. So I tried to sing the song from that vantage point. To see the post, that inspired my […]
