POP / ROCK SONGS


 

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.

SONG

DATE PRODUCED

NOTES

Lay It Down (for Patrice)

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.

Everybody Now

 

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)

We Are All Famous

 

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! Submitted under band name: Ants (Invisible)

Sarah Vowell's Motto

February, 2005 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.

Gin Or Ginseng

 

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.

Wichita Lineman (Whip It) (COVER)

2004 A simultaneous cover of two songs. A critical, popular and personal success. Coverfight winner (Coverfight is a side project by the Songfight folks)

She's On My Mind

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.

Field Day

  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.

Brown Boxes (demo)

  Written originally for another Songfighter who never finished it. I've always wanted to record a finished version of it. Someday maybe.

Unless I Change My Mind

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.

Amos Moses (COVER)

  Originally a country hit done by

Black Lung (COVER)

  Originally a punk song by Rancid.

Street Carp (COVER)

  Originally a metal song by The Deftones
