Episode 229-She Gave You Wine & Cigarettes

 
 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a real simple Banjo & Uke thing, (I wish I had a xylophone, that's be in there too if I did), it's about friends looking out for me and me not seeing it, in the past, accepting that people can have good intentions towards you and the like, all mental health things I guess, self worth issues and the like and aiming at beating them. Anyways, universal stuff I imagine. Hope it's a nice listen and thanks for your time and ears. If you want to include your eyes watch the video below:

Episode 228-Devil's Child

 
 
Hello listeners. This week's tune is a long winded patience testing odd thing based on a doco I saw called 'Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music', it's droney and messy, and repetitive, it's since had it's entire middle cut out and been sped up but here's the original idea anyways, I think it's probly not too bad....? It's about kids at Christian music festivals in the US being led into 'feeling' something, and the horrific pressure that these kids put on themselves to do that and to be something I think nobody can be, which is perfect, holy etc. I dig Jesus, but I don't dig him being misrepresented and used as a tool for press ganging people into 'right' thinking.
Anyways, like I said, patience tester, if you dig it, much appreciated, if not, well that's OK, this weekly thing is for all comers, every song I write, bad or good.

is where you get the ones that have been picked out of the huge mess and strung together for proper reasons and the like.
Anyways, thanks for your time and ears, here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Episode 227-Fictional Juliet

 
 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is a simple acoustic guitar thing about my tragically optimistic views on potential romance in a world that doesn't seem particularly interested in such things. Being above the age of five I realise that popular media sells us 'romance' as an answer to life from the get go, I don't buy into that, but I do fall for people frequently, or at least have in the past in what I would say is a fits the bill kind of emotion heavy kind of way. This maybe isn't a good thing, but it's made some songs that sound kinda calm 'n nice happen, and this is one of them, not directed at a specific person at all, just at the general idea.
Hope it's a nice listen anyways. Thanks for your time & ears, here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Episode 226-Billie

 
 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is about one of my most favourite singers in the history of singing, namely Billie Holiday. She had a really shitty life, but made beauty for other folks out of it and that's just plain amazing to me. Anyways, this one's about her early life, forced into prostitution by her own mum fairly early in life. The song's a messy grunting distorted thing more about men than it is about her, but also about her rising above that even then with/through music. Anyways, hope it's an interesting listen and thanks for your time and ears, here's a video/drawing to go with it:
