Hockey season is upon us, and the folks over at Section 328 have a great podcast called "Cheaters Never Win". They use an old SNES chiptune version of Brass Bonanza (the Hartford Whalers theme song) in their intro, and I thought I'd take it upon myself to make an alternate version.
I fiddled with a couple of different things (and spent WAY too long figuring out those @#$&* weird chords) before working out this cheesy lounge cover:
It's one of my first with full lyrics instead of being purely ambient:
Sometimes it's hard to keep from getting
overly distracted.
It's time to get away from
constant being without seeing.
Time to pay attention,
gotta watch where I am going.
Time to pay attention,
need to plant the seeds for growing.
Sometimes it's not enough to
separate myself from complication, and I
know I'm doing this to myself, and I
want to make it there.
Sometimes I can't believe I never
noticed it was sneak-ing up to me, and I
kick myself for waiting too long. No more
constant being without seeing.
Time to pay attention,
gotta watch where I am going.
Time to pay attention,
need to plant the seeds for growing.
Time to pay attention,
gotta watch where I am going.
Time to pay attention,
need to plant the seeds for growing.

]]>It is very rare than a mostly unknown artist has a release of this caliber and even more so as a first release. "Perfect Paranoia" alone makes this album worth listening to.
You can get it at iTunes, Amazon.com, eMusic, and a host of other digital download sites.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
]]>Stay tuned next Tuesday for the release of Finally!
]]>Front cover (that's our deck and back yard, and Impulse Tracker, the software I use to write my music):
Inside cover (Eilean Donan castle in Scotland, from our honeymoon):
Back cover (our back yard at dusk):
CD (my Sennheiser HD-600's):
They should hopefully be arriving in the next week or two, and I'll get them to CDBaby for distribution soon after.
