Episode 190-Creatures


 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune was going to be a thing I wrote yesterday, real minimal, kinda old style lullaby ish thing on the banjo, but I came home from work today and wrote this instead, because I just kinda felt like it. It's about fighting your demons and winning I guess, somewhat, maybe...? Anyways, hopefully you enjoy it, was fun to make. Cheers for your time and ears, here's a drawing/video to go with it if you wanna have look:

Episode 189-Aeroplanes


 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune I'd say kind of fits into my usual 'sound' so to speak, like Elliot Smith said in interviews, not really sad so much, but kind of, but not really. Anyways, I am in no way comparing myself to that genius after which I named my progeny. This week's tune starts out with a verse thanking my friend Catherine Muller for some very necessary help she gave me a while back, she is the best, kept me alive, literally, and then from there it goes where ever it wanted to, dives into little life detail stories that make little sense, talks about aliens, the usual stuff. Hope it's a fun listen anyways, I super distorted the bass for the sake of making something that sounded way out of place, tune wise it's a mix of uke, banjolele, U-Bass highly distorted, bongos and some symbols and a crash I think it's called, I don't know, I'm not a drummer. Thanks for your time anyways, and for listening and for your encouragement, those who encourage me, it's always massively appreciated and heart warming, you're the best.
 
Here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Episode 188-Elasimp


 
Hello listeners, this song, plain and simple, is about watching my kids grow up and feeling really sad about them not still being tiny because of how great that was, and how I missed some of it being caught up in innumerable unimportant things as we all are. I did the best I could I think, and am very intentionally trying to do better now, but you can't go back.
Anyways, so obviously it's not a super joyful tune but hopefully you enjoy it anyways.
 
Here's a video to go with it, (no drawing this week):
 
 
Thanks for your time and ears, and support and encouragement and the like, always much appreciated.

Episode 187-The Man Who Smells Of Burning Car

 

 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is an electric guitar thing about being an outsider, which is how I have decidedly been feeling, kind of forever, and probably everyone is, but recently a little more heftily than usual. It's not a bad thing, it's just kind of a fact really, but it can get me a lil grumpy I guess. Instead of wallowing though I tried to feed the feeling into an upbeat-ish thing, hopefully you enjoy it, it's about resignation I guess, acceptance maybe...?
