Episode 90-Don't Give Him Your Number


 
Hello Listeners. I've been a little ill, still am, I wrote this song in my bed after reading a bit of "Not That Kind of Girl", by Lena Dunham, very honest life advice, also funny, excellent book. The song is about jerk people with physical demands and my loathing of them. It's possibly a little blunt and slightly dark under it's ukulele skin because I've been sick, and that makes me grumpy. Hope it's a good listen anyways, and thanks for your time as always.

Episode 89-Face Full Of Fist


 
Hello Listeners. This weeks tune is a banjo one about a salesman being fake friendly to an emotionally unstable person, written from that persons perspective, and maybe it's about fake friendliness all over? Hope you like it anyways, and thanks for listening.

Episode 88-The Damned & The Done


 
Hello listeners, I've been talking with some folks who are recently separated from long term partners, and not so recently, but its the early days stuff that sort of stuck with me from these chats so I wrote a song about how that felt for me, a while back. It's not a fun place, a little volatile, kinda crazy, definitely not happy, very glad it's behind me. Anyways, as always, it's also kinda abstract and probably will be about any number of other things for other people. Hope you like it and thanks for your time.

Episode 87-Bruisers


 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune is about drinking, about how for me it kind of cleared out some brain cobwebs and gave me a chance to sort of understand life a little better, I've only ever gotten really super vomit drunk maybe twice in my life, and I don't recommend it, and I don't drink so much these days but I read this the other day:

(,from a Blog by Jess Windram, which I recommend, some good reading is to be had there),
and it reminded me of how drinking effected me, the journey from no alcohol whatsoever, to a little, to way too much, then back to a little again. It's kinda abstract. I have a cold too so my voice is way off. But it is what it is. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening.

Episode 86-It Doesn't Touch Me Anymore


 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune is about detachment I think, that's what I was feeling and trying to shake by making a song anyways, putting it to bed in some simple music I guess. It kinda worked. It's not a negative song, it's about human love and such, people. It is what it is, super simple, not many words, lots of synth and guitar loops and such. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for listening.

Episode 85-Christmas City Cave In


 
This weeks tune is another anti religious one. Sort of popped out of a weird memory trigger thing that happened when I started playing the tune and adding some words, memories about a church I went to and how completely anxiety ridden I was in the place and isolated and just not in the right place at all I don't think. Maybe the Christmas Cave In title is a bit obvious but also it relates to childhood ventures into the city at Christmas when the lights were up and my, I think it's called Vertigo, triggered by the tallness of buildings and my proximity to them when I was a kid. Anyways, hopefully it's an interesting listen. Thanks for your time as always.

Episode 84-Everybody Else

 
 
Hello listeners, unlike last weeks tune this is a song about a positive internet dating experience. I met some one who stated that they just wanted to make friends with people, hang out and the like, and was ready to bail immediately if they turned out to be crazy or dishonest, but they were cool. Hung out with them and their house mate and had a laugh and here's a song about it. It's also just about honesty I guess. Anyways, thanks for listening.
