In 2005, I rocked. Download. Lyrics.

In 2006 I went acoustic. Download. Lyrics.

In 2007 I was still acoustic but I rocked a little with a little help from my friend. Download. Lyrics.

First finished product using GarageBand and I am not disappointed. Wrote the whole thing in the last couple of weeks. Soft vocal, acoustic guitar, bass played almost like a drum, rockabilly chugging guitar and some atmospheric GarageBand keyboards played on keypad. Straddles the line between folk and rockabilly with some drumless reggae backbeat at the bottom. Words are what’s left after the firecracker smell fades away on July 5th.

My 2004 expansion of the Astrid EP. Same four tracks as before plus two more. Still that electric guitar-driven pop rock with the touches of Caribbean and dance and jazz and grunge, even in the two new songs which start edging back towards punk. Digital booklet included. Download here. Background info here.

1. Scooby Doo (Theme)
2. Mr. Joyless
3. I’m Living My Lie
4. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
5. LBpunk4Xmas
6. The Child Is Crying
7. If You Could Read My Mind
8. Great
9. Michael Iceberg

2005 CD-R with nine live songs from my earlier open mic sets, in which I am still trying to get over my case of St. Vitus Dance. This was a not-for-sale promo item that I think I made one or two copies of back then before moving on to my next phase. Includes three bizarro cover tunes. Download here, background info here.

A 21-second blur I put together last summer for a compilation. The zip file contains both an mp3 and wav file. Get it here.

1. Sing It Out (lo-fi garage punk)
2. I Can Testify (lo-fi garage punk)
3. Le Miserable (lo-fi garage folk)
4. I’ll Never Know (lo-fi garage punk)

My first attempt at getting my songs out, from 1982. My first-ever post here was my retelling of the story of its making. I added a digital booklet to the four song files, although the scan quality of the front and back covers was abysmal. I’ll rescan them sometime. Meantime, go here.

Not Silent/Area1234, 2004

This is a project that my friend Al Valdes (my King James collaborator) and I recorded back in August of 1999 with our spouses as extra vocalists. It’s also the first and only time we recorded on something better than a Portastudio. Most of the tunes are Al’s (he paid for the studio). These four songs are the only ones released so far, and we didn’t get to that until 2004. We have four more in the can, plus a few Portastudio demos that I’m going to try to convince Al to let me put out as a full-length project.
