“He’s Johnny’s best friend. And he lives in this building.”
“Lisa! You’re crazy! It’s Mark isn’t it?”
So I caught the lovebirds at Wal-Mart tonight. I guess they got together after Johnny killed himself.
Red Bicyclette. Still learning how to use my Olympus E-10 camera. I’ve had it since 2002.
Here’s the original demo of “Look at the Time, Baby.” This was a ‘daily song’ I wrote and posted to the intarwebs on December 15th, 2005. I think I’ll start posting lost tracks and songs from my old bands every now and again.
Top 5 netcasts
I like to watch and listen to shows on the internet. Some people call them podcasts. Leo Laporte calls them netcasts. Who am I to argue with Leo Laporte?
- This Week in Tech
- This Week in Fun
- DiggNation
- FilmRiot
- The Tech Guy
About four years ago I thought about doing an EP of Screeching Weasel covers. I did all of the music for 4 songs but never recorded the words. I finished the words to this song tonight, 4 years later. Hooray! It’s called Totally and it’s from the band’s 1993 album Anthem For a New Tomorrow. I definitely have songs by other bands in the works for the next few weeks. I guess Thursday night is cover song night!
First list in a while.
Top five albums beginning with In.
- Saves the Day - In Reverie
- Sean Lennon - Into the Sun
- Green Day - Insomniac
- Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
- Garth Brooks - In Pieces
For the second week in a row I’ve recorded a cover song. Might do this for a few more weeks. This time it’s 1985’s Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. I cut out a few parts of the song to make it more hollygorock-ish so hopefully you TFF fans won’t mind the missing words. Have any ideas for more songs to cover? I made an album over at BandCamp to stream the cover songs, and also made a new album to stream all of the newer demos from the Nick’s Daily Song blog. Anyway, here’s the latest song:
Decided to record a Guided by Voices song called Sad If I Lost It. Was going to do another acoustic video but I went ahead and did a studio recording after work. Turned out just fine. It’s track two from the band’s 1997 Mag Earwhig! album. The Telecaster was in the Jeep so I used the ol’ Harmony from the flea mall behind McDonald’s. I kind of like the idea of recording a different cover song every week to see if anything cool happens. Maybe next week I’ll do a They Might Be Giants song. Yeah!
