Harvey Session #8: Thieves’ Lullaby

am I asking too much

because when things change, they really change–how true has that become? you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.  Once your eyes are open and you see thingsi n the world…you can’t unsee them. ever.

Thieves’ Lullaby

Seriously–this isn’t a blog anymore so much as it is lengthy and completely vague set liner notes.  Do the rest of you miss liner notes as much as I do when you buy something digital?  I used a slide on this song made from the neck of a wine bottle. A good friend of mine cut that bottle for me…probably one of hundreds we’ve shared.  I wish my skill at using it approached this slides value to me.

Watch me drown.

Little Rock Session #7: Once in a River (Demo)

One thing I can say about the arrangement–it seems to do well to express what I can’t begin to say (for lack of words, if nothing else).

Little Rock Sessions # 6 – Room 16 Raw mix

Lead guitar – Brian T
Backing Vox – Suzen J

once in a river
dream light
changed

though my voice has been feeling ragged lately from lack of sleep…so we’ll see what happens (anything can happen I’m learning) in the next few days.

Want to get involved in the record? I’m going to start up a musicians sandbox, right? Basically, I’ll be making tracks available for people to record to remotely–guitar parts, bass, banjo, sitar, vocals–I don’t care what. if it fits into the vision and doesn’t compete but adds to the parts that I’ve been gathering from musicians on my own (you know who you are)–well, you’re part of the record.

You know where to find the demos. What a great way to practice and start coming up with ideas. I’ll let you know when the sandbox is live.

Little Rock Session #4: Let’s Skip this Thing

Let’s skip this thing
get right down to the heart of the matter
let’s skip this thing
because outside there are things
bigger, meaner, and badder than me

Little Rock Session #3: Gift.

“…dark skin eat

…the time of day…”
Wayne–if you’re reading this, dont’ freak out. I promise, the record won’t be wacky or anything.    I might head out and check out the local watering hole tonight, I’m getting a little tired of drinking alone and , really, what better way to get a real taste of the local flavor?

Think I’ll be running tape again here in a day,  I’ve already got some music in mind for this new one.

Banged out some vocal ideas, drank some cheap bear, sang some more, played some bass, beat on some percussion. Shook it up, and this is what I came up with for a demo. I tossed in a bunch of snippets from the vocal takes and will listen in the ford for the next few days.

In other news, there’s some badness going on in town. Apparently some guy offed his family. There was a tiny write up in the local rag that Gomez leaves on my doorstep every morning.

Tragic.

Little Rock Session #1

we’ve always got  somewhere else to be

it’s true what they say

we’re all running from something

or somebody…
