Foundation

I wrote this quickly, but it is, conversely, one of the longer songs I’ve made. Maybe (just maybe) a bit derivative.

Listen: Foundation.

Surreal Songs

I made the music for Thrift Store Drifter and, um, sang on The Seat Dance. I know. I like this comment:

HAHAHA!!! Cool..The Seat Dance leans further into cool territory than does the “Lean Back,” rides on the waves of awesomeness more than “Ghost Ridin’ The Whip,” and slides further into dopeness than does the “Cha Cha Slide”…Oh yeah, how did y’all get the time travel machine to go back in time and get Talking Heads to record this for y’all? Didja borrow Uncle Rico’s time machine from Ebay? Cool track…and, as always; a big congrats to the songpoem lyricist…To quote the late Steve Irwin: NOICE!!!

Lyrics are available on Billy’s Blog.

Missionary Blues

A rough first-take on a basic blues riff. So standard is it to my ears that I am dubbing it “Missionary Blues.

Dammit, GarageBand!  I just noticed that huge, bald tail at the end of the song.  Just please ignore that, listening audience.

Music History

Here’s a little catch-up:

About ten years ago I heard an Indian sounding song being played over the radio at Time After Time (a second-hand clothing store). The melody has stuck with me and now I am to the point where I am being driven kind of crazy wanting to know who wrote the song. I feel the only recourse is to publish a song myself which best recreates the melody in hopes that the music publishers will contact me for violating their copyright. If they threaten to sue me, I’ll gladly fork over all profits I make from this piece. Listen to PleaseSueMe.
