Episode 147-Good Lord

 
 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is a little bit of a depressing, bleak thing about the world ending, and horrible things happening overseas that are splashed all over the internet that we try to ignore because they're horrible. It's kinda musically a little bright but the words come from what I was just talking about, and the fact that I've been reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley,(the 2nd verse is based on that), and listening to 'In An Aeroplane Over The Sea', by Neutral Milk Hotel, in my car, a lot, and it's not the happiest of albums, not super super dark all over but it certainly has a sharp edge. The waiting for the wheel line is something somebody at work said while they were waiting for a page to load on the internet. Anyways, that's way too much to say about a song that's hardly two minutes long. I hope you dig it, and check out the video that goes with it, it's jumpy like Peter Gabriele.

Episode 146-Crocodile Tears

 
 
Hello listeners. This week's tune is another abstract kinda song, it's kind of about parenting, maybe...? Definitely about loneliness, but in a not entirely serious way. I dunno? Have a listen, see what your brain thinks. It has some U-Bass in it, third attempt at a Bass line, and also some tapping on a stainless steel water bottle.
Hope it's a nice listen anyways, and thanks for your time.
 
Here's a video for it:

Episode 144-Little Mountain


 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is a combined result of me being EXTREMELY tired, which is nothing to complain about, such is life, but it does make a slow tune happen, and also of me remembering a little crush I had on a Mormon sister missionary a couple years ago, who went back home to the U.S and married some Mormon dude, and good for her, I was not on those cards that's for sure. Anyways, it's an acoustic thing, hopefully a nice listen for ya.
 
Thanks for your time, if you wanna watch as well, here's a video of the same tune:
Nothing fancy, just me wearing a Star Wars T-Shirt.

Episode 143-Holding All The 7's



Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a distorted Ukulele and U-Bass song about feeling powerless and end of the world-ish, which is how I felt standing in the shower last Saturday morning. Not like "oh woe is me, my world has ended", more like the entire world, apocalyptic thoughts and the like, the rest of my day was all up from there but I did have a bit of a dark few minutes and hence this song. I just got a Bass, that's why there's Bass in it, I have very little idea about playing the Bass, but this is a start I guess, I think it turned out OK.
 
If you wanna watch as well as listen here's a video:
 
Thanks for your time, hope you enjoy.

Episode 142-If You Should Meet A Carpenter



Hello listeners, this week's tune I've kind of written before as far as content goes, it's another; "why do women seem to dig beefy dudes more than they dig me" thing, but this time I point out to myself that everybody's people and some beefy dudes are real nice and some skinny nerdy folks are not so nice and vice versa. It's hopeful I'd say, another almost love song for no one in particular, and maybe a little bit funny I hope, I dunno, see what you think.
 
Thanks for listening.
If you want to watch as well as listen her it is on youtube:
 
 
I should probably also say, there's some swearing in this one, not that I think anybody would mind.

Episode 141-Ward 17


https://ia601508.us.archive.org/31/items/CeskyLivesEpisode141-ward17/Clep141-ward17.mp3

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is an abstract mandolin thing about random things I've read about and heard people say in the last couple days. Apart from the line about faces being like ladders, I heard that one weeks ago from a buddy who said he wouldn't mind if I stole it for a song, so I did. It's a hodgepodgy kinda song, I watched a doco about REM and Michael Stipe said that sometimes words don't have to have a pin-on-able meaning, they can just be another instrument almost, I like that, he's obviously the master of that idea but it doesn't mean other people can have a go.
Here's a video if you wanna watch me as well as listen to me, for why? I dunno.
 
 
Hope you enjoy the tune anyways. Thanks for your time.
