Midnight Radio (Hedwig And The Angry Inch Cover) - Very Rough Draft

I found a version of Midnight Radio from the Hedwig And The Angry Inch musical while I was prepping for my next recording. I decided I should upload it because it's not 100% horrible, but it's still a rough draft. I recorded it originally on March 31st, 2007. So for the record, this cover actually preceded Wicked Little Town. I had worked on Midnight Radio for a while, put down the track (recorded), and then decided to start Wicked Little Town because I thought it would be much more fitting.

Does anyone have an idea of which Rough Draft they'd like to hear next from the upcoming cover album Breakfast With Friends? Well here's your call-to-action.

Oh What A World (Rufus Wainwright Cover) - Rough Draft

I finished a rough draft of Rufus Wainwright's Oh What A World last night. It turned out really good I feel and it's not exactly a complete cover of his song, but I think I was able to adapt it to my own style. I had a lot of fun with this one!

Front imeem Player + Lyrics ahoy

I figured because the music on the front page is ALL not released yet, and it's all on imeem, I would put a playlist player up! So I did that and for anyone who doesn't have Javascript / Flash, you can see the featured songs links as normal.

Working on getting the rest of the lyrics up this month so here's looking at you, hermit!

Discography Section Tweak

I just finished organizing the Discography pages a bit better. Now you can navigate around and it's clean! Just a short update to keep record of changes -- you know how it goes.

New Song and News about Upcoming Albums

Over the weekend I drove down to San Marcos with my mother to visit my brother. He's down at Texas State University taking Accounting. While I was there, I started work on a new song. When I got home Sunday afternoon, I wrote the lyrics and recorded Parallel (lyrics). This has turned out to be a very uplifting song about finding one's true love. It's still in rough draft phase so you'll have to check back for the fully produced song soon.

At this time I'd like to announce an upcoming album titled "Breakfast with Friends", in which I will release covers of songs from other artists I admire and give my homage to some of my all-time favorite songs from the biggies. I have also set into stone the track listing for "Life Inside The Robot Man" album, which is nearing completion.

177 pages? Snap.

I've been working this morning and this evening on updating the site with lyrics and song information. This site has grown to be pretty big. Now there's 177 pages (Update: now there's 214). With 115 individual songs, I can see where the bulk of that comes from. Each song has a page for Lyrics (if available) and a page with additional information, including any song credits or background story. Still working on filling in Lyrics / Song Information as I'm able to.

I've also tweaked the interface a little so now there are icons to help you know what each song has. The play icon links to the page where you can hear the song at. The down arrow icon links to the actual mp3 file download for the song. The white notepad icon links to the lyrics page for the song (if lyrics are available). The actual song link itself goes to the song info page which gives background story about where the song came from and what it means to me as well as credits where credits are due (where available).

Still working on finishing up the tab system to work with CHOPRO format.

Well there you go. I'm tired now.

Added 10 Rough Drafts to imeem

I was going through the audio files from around 2006 and found some rough drafts of songs that are currently unfinished. I added them to the Discography page, but you can also hear them over at the Soft Charisma imeeem. You may need to wait a day or so to be able to hear the full version as it's still waiting to be put into the system for full streaming. But as always, you'll need an account to hear the full songs, otherwise you'll only get a 30 second preview.

Added Lyrics

Tonight I added as many lyrics as I had -- which means I've lost some lyrics over the years! So the solution is to listen to the songs again and transcribe lyrics onto the site. My plan is to have 100% lyrics up, so that's a bunch more work for April.
