You are in the know
The Daily Song project is going swimmingly! Just looking at the statistics I can see that more people have listened to “Days of the Week” all the way through than any other hollygorock song on the site. I like this! It’s my favorite, too. Shaddix likes it. Obviously I didn’t write a new song every night last week. Think of it as an on-going experiment in deadlines and...

WatchThe time was 9:30pm and I had nothing. So I threw together my attempt at a children’s song called “Days of the Week” and it’s probably the weirdest song I’ve ever written. Here are the words!
Running so late on a Monday. Running so late on a Tuesday. Running so late on a Wednesday. Running so late on a Thursday. Running so late on a Friday.
Running late,...
Play It Again, Samwise
So, the chords to “Marketing” had been around for a few months. This particular demo has been around since 9/29/2005. It was supposed to be something for Stop The Revolution but we never did anything with it. Kati just listened to it and says it’s her favorite! Here’s what I originally wrote about it when I first emailed it to stoptherev:

Marketing
Finally finished tonight’s songling. I kind of cheated because I wanted to go to Trivia. So I didn’t write this song today. Well, I did write about half of the words, but the music has been around for a few months. But I could never find anything to do with it. Figured it’d make a Grand Daily Song. Plus it gave me an excuse to work on it and sort of “finish” it....

My New Mascot Friends (In a Cave)
First song success! It’s only the first night but I’m already feeling good about the week. Time from conception to finished product: 3.5 hours. Stay tuned for another new song to be posted tomorrow night at 11pm! I reckon’ I’ll start writing it as soon as I get off work tomorrow around six. Can I complete a song and still make it to trivia at Locos at 9:30? OH...

WatchReposting my favorite song from 2009’s Nick’s Daily Song blog, “Quit Waking Me Up.” Starting on Monday night, March 22nd, I’m going to do a week of new Daily Songs. If you’re unfamiliar, each day I will come up with some sort of original idea and run with it. The plan is to have 7 brand-new, fully-produced tunes by the end of the week. Some of them will be bad....

Space Oddity.
Played a David Bowie song the other night. That is all! I should post more often. Still working on the layout of the new website.

Keep on keepin' on.
As much as I love the folks at @squarespace, I’m going to convert this Tumblr blog into my main site. Central headquarters for all things hollygorock, so to speak. With a little work, I’ll make this place home. I should commission some artwork from @joshlafayette.
