[SaW40] – plink
October 8th, 2009This is me… rediscovering my African heritage. (Shut up.)
[SaW39] – bukanggg
October 2nd, 2009[SaW38] – Ho Down
September 23rd, 2009This one is a bit weird. I don’t think I’ve ever tried something in 3/4 time before. I blame it on copious viewing of dance shows and Glee. Now if I could just get Lacey Schwimmer to dance a waltz with me…
[SaW37] – Kanwe East
September 16th, 2009Kanye West jumps up on stage at the VMAs like a douchebag and makes a little girl cry. Obama calls him a “jackass.” Hilarity ensues.
[Note: No celebrity impressions were used in the making of this song. Everything you hear was actually uttered by the POTUS and captured on some sort of recording medium.]
[SaW36] – 11:11
September 9th, 2009I called this one 11:11 because that’s when I started writing it. (Also to mess with Karen.)
[SaW35] – porque
September 2nd, 2009I’ve spent the better part of a week hiding in the Santa Cruz mountains, poking my head out periodically to actually do some real work in downtown Santa Cruz. All that, and yet I’ve managed to eke something out and STILL look sexy. How do I do it? I dunno. Anyhoo, I decided to call it “porque,” which doesn’t really mean anything. In fact, I’m not even telling you how I pronounce it. You know… just to be extra mysterious-like.
[SaW34] – Dre Ain’t Got **** on Me
August 27th, 2009This is my attempt to dig down into my R&B/Hip Hop roots. (Yeah, a white boy can have Hip Hop roots!) I was kinda using Dr. Dre’s slow jam beats as inspiration. How’d I do?
Song-a-Week #33 – Les
August 20th, 2009This is for Les Paul. It was improvised and recorded in one pass. Sure, there are plenty of “mistakes” in there… but I think that’s the whole point.
Les Paul (6/9/1915 – 8/13/2009)
August 13th, 2009
Les Paul, the man who pioneered the solid-body electric guitar, effects including tape delay and phasing, and multitrack recording… is gone.
Rock and Roll would not exist without you, sir. Rest in Peace.
Song-a-Week #32 – My Brain
August 13th, 2009This week, I decided to try something different. Indaba Music is running a contest wherein entrants are asked to remix the Weezer song “My Brain (Is Working Overtime).” I thought I’d take a shot at goofing around with it, and this is what happened. I figure, how much more different from the original could I get?
I promise… no more covers or remixes next time.
