Talking Sociology Class Notes Blues, Act I

2011-10-05T05:50:00.000-07:00

Three new songs here.
The story: I was looking through an old notebook trying to find a song I'd written in college. I found it, and also found notes from a class I took called Social Movements. I thought it was interesting that a lot of what we were talking about back then was kindasorta happening now.
Because I'm me, I started improvising music and singing, more like singtalking, my old notes, mostly verbatim.
These are all first takes. I don't even know what chords I was playing since I didn't write them down. In theory I could figure out the music and re-record it. Then again, communism works -- in theory. I don't think it would work to re-do it, although my ego is telling me that some of the tunes I came up with on the spot are very good.
Who says a liberal arts education is useless?
More to come. Enjoy.

New Cover - Eve of Destruction

2011-05-19T11:45:00.000-07:00

Yet another cover in honor of the end of the world, which some say is coming tomorrow, or possibly Saturday. I'm confused. Regardless, here is me singing Eve of Destruction, originally recorded by Barry McGuire (although he didn't write it, which I didn't know until recently).

This is the only song I know of that features the word "coagulatin'". If you know of any others, please share.
