Thanks for Giving

I fell asleep stoned silly last night, listening to the rain, letting the wind blow drip drops through the window as I lay below listening to one of my favorite artist, World's End Girlfriend.

I got out of bed about 1pm, binge drinking coffee and feeling experimental. I pulled out the synth and garageband and started making noise. Below is the final, only recorded proof of that moment that has been the last couple hours or so. I don't know much about time.

I may add more tracks to this one after said shower. I also need to wander outside because I still have not done that today. 

I should shower and munch on something. I am going to my friend Alan Page's this evening and a shower would give me some focus. 

The last year has been one of the most uncertain of my entire life up until now and I've been very contemplative and reflective on truly what I am thankful/grateful for.

I normally don't pay this holiday of Thanksgiving much mind, but I am taking time to really contemplative the why's of whom and what I am grateful for all week.

To those that have been part of the past year, I thank you all for the good, the bad, and damn right ugly because in the past year I have remembered and discovered a lot more than I will type out in this moment. Let the music do the rest. 

Be Free Fellow Earthlings,

3 Songs To Sing Along

I just uploaded 3 songs I've been working on. I don't know exactly what that wordage means, but I just typed it so I'm going to ramble on it.

The lyrics you will hear if you listen are lyrics I sing to myself while I'm working, while I wander, on my way to the grocery store, aloud to my friends, etc. 

They are a small part of what I want to use for  a live show. I've done some open mic events in recent months, but I'm ready for a real set.

The music part of the songs listed will vary depending on the set, but I'm happy with how well they fit with the words.

I'm losing my attention span.

I need to drink more coffee.

I hope you enjoy what you hear and find yourself singing them in your day to day routines.

[song for the heavy hearted]

i've been experimenting with musics a lot lately

it's all a weird magic of improv

this song feels like the soundtrack to walking around town the last few days

it's a bit noisy, but i hope you'll give it a listen

it's crazy what you can do with a keyboard, a pedal, and an imagination

it's turning grey again

there are still some colored leaves around, but the trees are mostly bare

which makes it easier to see the sky

and feel the rain on your head

keep your heads up, friends

let the rain drip down your face

tartarus by acorn season

you'll remember when
not too long from now
you'll say, "a.b., you were right, friend." 

on the other side of hell
there's a story of hallelujah glory
when the saints go marching in
i'll be laughing with my friends
on the side of hell
hallelujah glory

john the baptist
that homosexual fuck
took jesus down by the river

fuck what's it gotta do with luck? 
i don't know if i know how to "let it go" 

filled with good intent
fueled by fear
we'll all become monsters

you think i've lost it? 
yeah, i've done lost it all
more than once
i ain't playing no more
i've already lost my mind in this song

i ain't no fucking messiah
i ain't no fucking king
but when it comes to liberty
all you gotta do is sing with me

la la la la long live liberty

i came by to sing rock n' roll songs. 
i came by to yell revolution. 
i came by for all you nonbelievers. 
mad as a hatter, but i ain't evil

whitechrizzzmas

i was hanging out with my friend Zak Austin the other day.

He has a cool synth and some editing programs that i myself do not have nor do i have the discipline to master said programs.

the plan was to jam and see what happens, but there is plenty of gear to record if we play something the sound of something we hear.

i made a drony synth line or two. 

i listened to the said riff. wrote down some rambles. wandered in and out of the house.

it's hard to sit still.

recorded a few scratch tracks of this and that.

all the cold rain outside prompted me to write down,

"i'm dreaming of a white christmas"

the rest fell together quite effortlessly.

i've wanted to make my own version of "white christmas" for a long time.

tis the season. happy christmas fellow earthlings.
