Best of You
A self-explanatory song, recorded a year after it was written.
-
Liberty Man
I wrote this song for the Tax Day Tea Parties. I performed it at the Olympia Tea Party in front of 5,000 people. It pretty much speaks for itself.
-
Best Week Ever
This is a song about former Police Chief Fred Walser, who had the Best Week Ever! He filed to run for State Senate, and then a few days later he pled guilty, and was sentenced to a year in jail, for lying to investigators.
-
Christine, Christine, Christine
The song is not autobiographical. It is sung from the perspective of someone who -- unlike myself -- is perfectly pleased to have a governor who will not only care for his every need, but also make all of his everyday decisions for him. He doesn't have to think for himself, because Christine is…

Lines and Squares
A.A. Milne wrote the poem that comprises the verses of this song. I added the chorus. It's a song dedicated to Stephen Colbert and his ever-vigilant efforts toward warning the public about Bear Safety. Friends and relatives helped out with the vocals and claps. I played the cowbell and bongos.…

George Bush is Hitler
I've heard a lot of people compare George Bush to Hitler and Big Brother and say that the U.S. is one of the least free countries in the world. If that were true, you'd think people would be afraid to, you know, say so. Or that if they did say so, something bad would happen to them. This song is…

Alright For Now
This is a cover of a Tom Petty song, that I sing as a lullabye.
-
Under the Sea
Similar to the cover I did of the Disney song "Small World," this is a cover of the Disney song "Under the Sea," from The Little Mermaid. I don't know why, but I think these songs are a lot more depressing than the original music portrays, and my versions attempt to reflect that. This song…

Just Getting Started
One morning I woke up and this song was in my head. At least the main vocal hook was. The first verse came shortly after, in the shower. I'm think the song's pretty good, and the recording ain't bad. The song is a bit of an homage to Tom Petty, but probably sounds most like his cover of The…

Wasting Time
I came up with this riff a few years ago, and the lyrics came later. It's about doing a lot of things in your life that are, simply, a waste of time. Simple song. Kinda fun to play if I'm ... in the mood. And I love the riff. This is the first song I recorded with the Variax. It's hard to say too...
-
Osama Bin Laden, You Ruined My Birthday
This song is not autobiographical. It just struck me as a funny and, perhaps, interesting idea for a song. And I think it turned out quite well. I couldn't quite figure the music out for this, for some time. It was always a country song from the beginning, but I don't really listen to country…

World War Three
It seems like no matter what we try, we can't start World War Three. What's up with that? This song was written and recorded during the first several days of the outbreak of violence between Israel and Hezbollah. Recorded using Logic. For some reason I thought an 80s-ish vibe seemed appropriate,...
-
You're Clueless
This was first recorded in 2004, but in 2006 I remixed it in Logic, jazzed up the organ, reamped the electric guitars and bass with the PODxt, and cleaned up the beginning and end. This is a song I wrote in college, while driving along I-5 in SocCal along the Grapevine. It's about how you know a...
-
Whopper Theme
Burger King has an utterly ridiculous ad campaign with the creepiest character on TV since Brian Dennehy played clown serial killer John Wayne Gacy in "To Catch a Killer." For the Super Bowl, they unveiled some elaborate song-and-dance number and put the music online. I made it sound spookier to...
-
Leap of Faith
I wrote this song many years ago, and performed it exactly once: at my wedding, 10 years ago today. I've recorded it to mark the occasion. Like other songs I've done, this one is big on the theme of how we can't know it all, and notes how that's a really good thing. It was recorded with Logic,...
-
Through the Glass Darkly
This song is another cover by Randy Stonehill, from his 1980 album The Sky Is Falling, and has always been one of my favorite songs. It's also a bit of a departure for me: longer, more parts, more effects, more intricate, and so on; I spent a lot more time on this than any of my previous songs --...
-
(Oops) I Did It Again
I found some old versions of the Britney Spears song "Oops, I Did It Again," one by Louis Armstrong and some Big Band thing. In that spirit, I also "found" an old version of the song by Bob Dylan, although he apparently thought the word "oops" was beneath him. Recorded with GarageBand.
-
The Hand That Feeds
This is a remix of the Nine Inch Nails song. I added cowbell to it. And added a new album cover to go with it.
-
Christine
A love song, this time about a sort of forbidden love. I was inspired by all the self-important "bloggers" out there. You know who you are. Well, probably not, but I know who you are. Another in a series of covers of songs by people named Randy, this is from Randy Stonehill's 1981 album Between…
more -
Flower Man
Another older song I wrote, just in time for Valentine's Day. It's a song about the man we've come to take for granted, who helps us in our time of need. I recorded this one live, both vocal and guitar at the same time, as I finally got my second mic. And done with GarageBand 2, testing out the...
-
New Year
I've never really felt that interested in celebrating the new year. It's ... tomorrow! Hooray! So, trying to find some meaning in the occasion, and noticing there are not that many songs about this widely celebrated holiday, I wrote a song of my own. I wanted to make sure I got it done in time…
more -
Tetelestai
The aforementioned Porthos wrote some lyrics to a song he was working on and posted them, wondering what sort of music they might evoke in others. So me and Drewsef and (the aforementioned) Hobbes, that very night, all recorded our own versions. As they were all done in an evening or so, they are...
-
Caves of Steel
A song I wrote in high school and recorded in college, and have now re-recorded. It's very different for me, as it is entirely electronic, except for the vocals, which have heavy electronic effects too. I booted up the song on an old LCII in EA's Deluxe Music Recorder, exported the MIDI, plopped…
more -
Johnny Got Suspended
An update of "Johnny Got Suspended" by The Zambonis, substituting the Yankees and Red Sox for the Islanders and Rangers, which I wrote because I was very angry after the Yankees won a thirteen-inning game where the Sox scored in the top half of the 13th. I know there's quite a bit of clipping…

Political Science
This is just vocals and piano, in an unauthorized performance of Randy Newman's classic. I wanted to mess around with recording the Yamaha digital piano, and vocals, so this was the result.
-
Crossroads
Three loops of the blues standard Crossroads, to compare old Epistrat sound (in the left speaker) to new (in the right). I like the new one better. Drum loop, and MIDI for electric bass.
-
Sunshine
Baby on vocals, Daddy on guitars and harmonica. MIDI for bass and cowbell. Loop for drums.
-
GarageBand Demo
Just playing around with the built-in loops and amp and synth. Before I had the Oxygen8 and Tascam US-122, so used Yamaha YPR-9 for MIDI and iMic for guitar.
-
KLB
A lament about people who refuse to do some research before asking questions.
-
Slow
I hate spam.
-
Small World
A dirge about the futility of life.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Disciple was the band I was in, in the late 80s and early 90s. We played a bunch of shows in the Livermore/Pleasanton area in California. Disciple was Chris Wilson (Hobbes) on guitar, Robbie Miller on drums, Ian Shaeffer on bass, and me on guitar. This track was recorded in a studio for a...
