I got me a pony



During the winter of 2008, say first 2 weeks in February, I knew this woman named Rachel. She sang, played bass, had good taste in music, fashion and art. I introduced her to my Korg micro-synth.

Our romance was doomed, I was fresh from divorce and she from a huge break-up as well; I had internal conflicts regarding what was really important to me and such.

We did manage to record.

Here's I got me a Pony. I play bass and do the overdubs on this one. The korg is all Rach and we both sing.




Rachel and I layed another track, the b-side; Just out of reach. I sing and bass this. Rach korg's.


I'll let you download... I got me a pony.

femme fatale



This weekend is already looking too be laced. Friday was dramatic and leading toward an abyss. Today, will find me in Buckhead doing Star 103 things; Miami parties and such.

With all the commotion, it's good to take a step back. Scene (Joey and I in the family trailer, remember?) recorded femme fatale during the spring of 98.

Enjoy




No downloader on this one, unless the comments overwhelmingly demand one.
I just scene her this morning, when I was walking Sushi... my heart skipped a beat. It felt so sweet and honest. She's the inspiration on keep on waiting.

Coast 2 Coast



Now this is a jam. Recorded with Joey on drums as the seminal 90's independent outfit straight from the trailer courts of Sugar Hill, GA; Scene brought it down.

Now Joey is a cat I'd love to play with again, he had the smooth surf/jazz beats down pat (no Pat, you're not down).

Rock this, Coast 2 Coast


What? You want to rock this as you Jazzercise? Fine, I'll let you Download it, but whatever you do, don't tell anyone!

whatever

FU.

This is all Kettle-One-Tonic, loneliness inspired one take goodness.

AND I LIKE IT.

I know I bash my stuff all the time, and I'm ok with it, because I compare my stuff with folks who do this full time, and I know I'm on that level without being on that level, but this is a good, honest jam. You'll probably never hear it on Star 94 but it's for real.



For your listening enjoyment, I present whatever

You can download it here,you know you want to.


FROM THE EDITOR: This is actually a Zee-LC jam.... an 85 Lives remix is due soon...

PS - 3/27/10 edit: this one seemed to be more popular, for you're streaming pleasure:

ok so I told some of you that there would be new content every day; damn. Trust me, learning from my flickr, too much new content means that the pearls are left unrecognized.

New jam in about 5. No disty sales, OEM only.

Keep on waiting



This is a totally piece-meal jam; almost for dummies piece-meal. KFCish.

There's a nice hollowness and longing within it's spiraling layers, and it's based on a true story.

Enjoy it as you Keep on waiting




... of course the almost obligatory downloader... maybe someday the board will yank the downloads and go all 90's and stream for 56k only, have downloads based on demand.

Not now though, I got mouths to feed!


TBR played the Apache cafe during the fall of 2007 in a new band showcase type thing. The show was scheduled for a Saturday night and Eric and I got Hampton to get in on the bass side of things.

Inside this you'll hear un-recorded jams such as hit song and Thursday as well as family classics you know and treasure like waited all summer long and SThat gal'll make ya howl (tattoos & a behive on). Not to mention Ralph and his baby girl's fave jam Flat 9's.

You'll get some really garagey renditions of classics such as Just like heaven,Teenage kicks and Judy is a punk.

This recording, all just under 30 minutes of this offering is was recorded in one addy-influenced take. It's quite good.

Enjoy Apache cafe




As always, we're givers. Here, just take it, I don't care, really, take it, take it all, download it for your family and friends.
New jams coming out later today; I just couldn't finish last night, so spent.
Tell me you like this.
I'm still figuring out if I do.
some day's I love it most times I just think it's medicore crap.
Still, I'm compelled to keep on.

A hit will be born from this mess, just you watch and see.

Let's do a shot


Let's do a shot was written during the summer of 2007 in the practice space that was once a married couple's bedroom. It feature's the always steady Eric Lynn on drums and a the bass wizardry of Mr. Ben Harrington. In fact the engineering is all Ben; back then I sucked at GarageBand.




Wanna keep it? I don't think so! Just kidding, here, go home happy... download it!

You know what? I like these crappy little jams! They have heart and soul. They demonstrate growth and expression. If they never get anywhere there are still totally worth doing.

However, there's bound to be a real looker in here someday....

All by ourselves

I did this last night while sipping a drink I created call Nyqlot; it's a 1/3 publix brand cherry Nyquil and 2/3 Trader Joe's 3.00 Merlot; served in a well glass, a glass that ended up in the prius after a night in the old 4th ward.


All by ourselves
