Look, I'm not a "rocker". I don't play guitar. I've used
a few guest guitarists occasionally (credited below), but
these hopefully demonstrate my enduring love of pop and
rock.

NOTES

|
|
July, 2006 |
Written for my wife Patrice for our 14th anniversary. I worked
on it longer than I normally do. I was a real perfectionist.
Note: The song is 8 minutes long. |
|
March, 2005 |
Part of my Ants (Invisible) experiment, where I decided to
try my hand at a more conventional pop/rock style, while not
letting myself get boring. This is my favorite A(I) track.
Songfight winner!
Submitted under band name: Ants (Invisible) |

February, 2005 |
This is the first Ants (Invisible) song that I thought was
pretty much a success. The lyrics echo my assertion that Andy
Warhol's 15 minutes of fame quote is no longer true.
Songfight winner!

The only opportunity thus far to hear Patrice in one of my songs
(though we still want to finish that album of covers). She also
collaborated with me on it. Cool. |
|
August, 2004 |
Quite proud of this one. At first seems to be wimpy bubble-gum
pop, but you see, that's the point.
Close 2nd place on
Songfight, though the actual winner cheated. |
|
|
2004 |
A simultaneous cover of two songs. A critical, popular and
personal success.
Coverfight winner (Coverfight is a side project by the Songfight
folks) |

February, 2004 |
Lead guitar by Paul something-or-other, a super nice guy from
Toronto and part of Songfight's
Redcar. Rhythm guitar by
Josh Woodward, also of Songfight. My one and only
country-western song. |
|
|
|
A collaboration with a guy on Songfight called DJ Doppleganger.
He sent me the instrumental track and I took it sight unseen and
wrote and recorded the vocals over it without changing his track at all.
Submitted under the band name Restless Events. |

Written originally for another Songfighter who never finished
it. I've always wanted to record a finished version of it.
Someday maybe. |
|
|
August, 2003 |
My first attempt at a rock style, and also my first
Songfight victory (tied). Now it sounds cheesy to me, though
I still like it. |
