Hello world.
I hope this blog entry finds you all doing well and enjoying your summer.
So I got caught up with my writing duties, but now I'm falling behind again. This is harder than I thought it would be! Tonight I'll spend a few hours in the basement and try to get something put together.
Did you see the comment boxes at the bottom of the songs pages? Why not leave me a short note of some sort to let me know that you're out there and listening?
Warmest regards to you all. Thanks for taking time to listen to my songs.

I just put up another song and updated a few back end things. Some of you have emailed me letting me know the downloads didn't work right, so I just retooled that whole section. Now there is an entire downloads section you can hit. Also, while i was working, I re-bounced the first four songs and posted them at a higher sample rate. So now the bass and the cymbals only sound as crummy as I played them, and no worse. Tomorrow I'm gonna put up another song. Get ready! |

This week you get two for the price of one. Last week I was too busy/lazy to post a song, even though I was sitting on two that were 90% completed. That last 10% takes a lot of gumption to get out. So here they are. Baby James is an advice song written to my new nephew, James L. Martin III. High School Curls was inspired by my fiancee Kati's photo albums. Who are those people in there? What was I doing when those photos were taken? So there. Click on over and listen. Thanks for stopping by, and tell your friends. |

Eight weeks. Four fortnights. Two months. That's how long I've been writing my song a week challenge. This week's song is called Dream Eraser. I got the idea from thoughts regarding the impermanance of memory, especially when the memories in question are of dreams. It seems that most dreams don't even make it out of bed, and even the really good ones only live for a few weeks in one's head. Only a tiny fraction of dreams actually become "permanent" memories, and these are usually the revelatory, life-changing ones. So why are dreams so easily forgotten? My thought was that there is some sort of dream erasing apparatus inside our brains that deletes the unneeded ones from our memory banks. Anyways, thanks for listening! Send me an email to let me know what you think about the idea, or about the song. Week nine is coming really quickly! |

I know I'm a day late for my song this week, but I have hit a serious wall. Too much work and not enough thinking time have left me with an awesome musical composition but absolutely no words. I've spent the past few hours banging my head on a wall (literally for a few minutes), and now I've decided to call it a night. It's too late to record anyway, I'd hate to wake up my neighbor/landlord. So this week's entry will be late, I'll send out the email as soon as it's up.
