Sounds of the summer. Some people hear this and run towards it. Some people hear this and run away covering their ears (is there anyone actually who does this?). One thing everyone has in common is that once you hear it it’s locked in your head on repeat for at least an hour.
For those of you outside of NYC, name that tune!
Enjoy!
The Seven of clubs came about because this weekend was really great, the weather was great, and I was feeling good. So I wrote this nonsense as an attempt to describe it.
I thought of the chord progression for this song on the A Train coming back from the Cloisters on Sunday afternoon. I was able to record it into my phone so I could remember it and it became this song. It’s my pop-punk hit of ’09. Rock it!
My good friend, Ben Lord, came in to play drums on this song. He and I were in Up The Empire together and run The Cougar Label together now. Thanks, Ben.
Last Monday I had a bad day. Things we just not going right for me. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say I was in a rotten mood. I started this song that Monday night and was going to make a bad day song or bad song day or some kind of bad durge. The bad day continued right into the night and I had a problem with my computer and I had to stop recording. Ugh.
So, I finished the song today, Sunday, and since that badday Monday, I have had a few much better days and I was not in such a bad mood anymore. So, this song is what happens when you start it on a bad day and finish it on a good day.
This song is influenced by a bad day, Steve Reich, and Jim O’Rourke.
I just creted a page on the site where I am offering zip files of batches of songs. The first batch I offer is a collection of all of the Spades. Check it out.
Two days after we visited Coney Island I created this song. There isn’t much to say about it except for: acoustic guitar and mass feedback.
