My recent adventure high above the hills of New Hampshire. With music and the liberal use of visual effects!

Every now and then events guide me towards creativity, and it seems that now is just such a time. Not only has this June been particularly rainy, but it has been punctuated by the passing of so many great seventies icons: David Carradine (who has already inspired one of my songs...), Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, and now Karl Malden.
We also lost Sky Saxon, but he's more of a sixties icon. And Billy Mays, the television salesman guy who yells at people. You can see why it's been a tough month.
But it seemed only right and fitting that I should concoct some sort of musical tribute for the seventies stars who are no longer with us.
I thought about some sort of song cycle, but went for this joyous cacophony instead. It helps to imagine each star playing his or her part:
Ed McMahon: Trumpet theme from the Tonight Show
Michael Jackson: Synclavier "Wanna be Startin' Something/Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" riff
David Carradine: Mellotron flute Kung Fu Theme
Farrah Fawcett: Charlie's Angels' Figure on Phased Synclavier
Karl Malden: Bass clavier Streets of San Francisco Theme intro
and then me on Cathedral Organ and various guitars, effects and beats...

1. June Requiem (5:08)

Well, lately I’ve put up several of my tunes, so here’s a bunch of songs I’ve been listening to recently for a change of pace. Not that many of the songs on this podcast are from ’67, or even match the mood of the poster, but because I just found a reproduction that was considerably cheaper (and admittedly less resplendent) than an original silk-screened concert poster for the 14 Hour Technicolor Dream, that explains the picture for this episode.
These are mostly pop songs, but from the sixties and U.K. stuff. The Twilights, Lotus, and Zoot are all Australian though. Papoose and Schizo are both French and both psych tunes from the seventies, and Ginger Ale were a band from The Netherlands, I believe. Click is American and featured on another podcast, though this song from his album features more sitar. Cherry Smash is pretty much just straight pop, but the vibe is very much a mix of Beach Boys and Kinks “Drivin’” from the album Arthur so I’m including it here. And it was written by a member of Manfred Mann. The whole thing is about 50 minutes of Technicolor fun.

1. The Ballad of Marmalade Emma and Teddy Grimes—Hard Meat
2. Lotus—The Twilights
3. Cry Baby Cry—Vaughan Thomas
4. You’re Making a Big Mistake—The Montanas
5. Lotus 1 (I’ll Be Gone)—Lotus
6. Marie Song—Papoose
7. Schizo (and the Little Girl)--Schizo
8. Goodtime Sunshine—Cherry Smash
9. Hey Pinky—Zoot
10. Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine—The Brain
11. Many Times Jimbo—Click
12. Sugar Suzy—Ginger Ale
13. Sunshine Woman—Euphoria
14. Epoch—Lotus
15. Path Through The Forest (demo)—Cliff Ward

Well, three more songs of mine before I think about putting up some more pop-psych. I tried incorporating some strumming acoustic guitar. The third song makes a strong argument for funk, especially the fact that when a person or group of people are funky, they are really funky. The lyrics, needless to say, were made up on the spot and were really just an excuse to fiddle with sound effects. What was really fun about making the song was the penny-whistle keyboard sound. I think the penny-whistle is an oft neglected funk instrument.
The picture is a hotel in Fiji that's really expensive but looks like fun. A fine place to listen to the podcast.

1. With The Mermaids (4:05)
2. Submerged (3:25)
3. Funksploitation! (5:00)

I’m reposting this with another song. I don't know why I felt like making a bunch of songs this week, but here they are representing my latest stuff. Probably because it's February and it's been a while since I've recorded any music. The first song started as a piano riff but of course I added a lot of organ and stuff and what started out as an eighties sound got kind of seventies. The second song was just one that kind of developed as I went along, and the third song was something I made while I was watching T.V. with the sound off and with the chords and mellotron I was going for a 60's sound I suppose.The last song has moog noises and some basic tracks from my Korg.
1. Solipsism (5:36)
2. River (4:07)
3. Terrain (3:46)
4. Frozen Air (5:04)

It's been a while since I posted any of my songs. The first one is a spacey instrumental. The second is the latest installment of my raps based on gentile professions (in this case farming). The last is a song I made a while ago, and it went on too long. So I edited out the beginning and about thirty seconds in the middle. It still feels a little long but I was just banging away on the keyboard and that's what came out, so in the interest of completeness, I'm including it in this podcast. I recorded it a couple of months ago. These were done on my Korg and with my M-Audio keyboard.

1. PKD Was Right (4:37)
2. Gentleman Farmer (3:32)
3. Musings (3:51)

Well, the label for two of these songs is Poppy, and some of these songs are psych sounding and some pretty poppy, or toytown pop. The songs on Poppy are the pre-Crimson Greg Lake band, the Shame (not to be confused with The Cryan' Shames or Paul and Ritchie and The Crying Shames) doing "Dreams Don't Bother Me," and The Giant Jellybean Copout, with a version of a song found on a Critters' album that sounds quite a bit like they used the same basic track. There are some promos and radio spots thrown in. It ends up with a Bowie cover, a Rick Wright song, and a very scratchy acetate.

1. Dalton & Montgomery--All At Once
2. Psych-Out Movie Promo
3. The Cryan' Shames--Greenburg, Clickstein, Charles, Davies, Smith & Jones
4. Barbara Ruskin--Pawnbroker, Pawnbroker
5. Ravi Shankar radio promo
6. Giant Jellybean Copout--Awake in a Dream
7. The Shame--Dreams Don't Bother Me
8. Batman Merchandise J.C. Penny Commercial
9. Poppy Family--Shadows on my Wall
10. Blue Yogurt--Lydia
11. Velvet Underground promo
12. The Velvet Underground--Friends
13. Zombies promo
14. The Zombies--This Will Be Our Year (stereo; no horn overdubs)
15. Gilbert O' Sullivan--Mr. Moody's Garden
16. The Kingsmen--On Love
17. The Strawbs--All I Need Is You
18. The Cortinas--Phoebe's Flower Shop
19. Boyce & Hart Coke commercial
20. Peter Noone--Right On Mother
21. Pink Floyd--It Would Be So Nice
22. John & Yoko Promo
23. John Lennon--God Save Oz (acetate)

And in case you've listened to the songs in the last podcast, and watched the entire scooter movie, here's three more of my songs I've been working on. The first song is my attempt to put a horn section in that would make people think of the Ohio Players. The second song is a somber atmospheric instrumental and the last tune is sort of spacey and sort of funky. The second two songs are a bit more inchoate than the first, but they are all finished so I'm posting them. The picture is a little phosphorescent.
Oh, and feel free to leave a comment indicating the best version of "Spider" in the last podcast or to what degree the horns in this one remind you of The Ohio Players... or anything else....
I'm reposting this episode because I thought the third song needed another track.

1. Four Minutes of Funk (4:05)
2. Arctic Swim (3:15)
3. Voyage Through Sleep (4:05)

O.K., I had to admit that my last version of this was pretty much just scooter riding for 14 minutes, so I added five more minutes of footage and spliced it in deftly if not always chronologically, to create a richer viewing experience. Plus, it's more psychedelic (in parts). And there's more music. All in all I think it's an improvement over the first version...

More of my songs I've been working on this time. For some reason the second song sounds like it was recorded under water. I think that happened when I converted it to the podcast. Well, anyway, it's a little less than high fidelity, but the third song has lots of moogs and the last song is funky. The first song was inspired by a trip to an Indian restaurant.

1. Punjabi Dhaba (2:25)
2. Update (2:35)
3. Recovery (3:41)
4. History is Funk! (4:25)

These are a bunch of songs that I've either been working on recently or that I made a while back and didn't post so it's sort of a mix of things and has some glitches here and there. The sitar song was the first thing I made with the sounds I had when I got them, so it's there just as it came out. The picture is a poster I have that I like, and kind of goes with the mood of the first and last song, even though there's no direct relation to the title or the songs really. I just needed a title for this episode...
The first song has more Chinese flute and the whole thing is about fifteen minutes.

1. Hot Space Station Justice (3:04)
2. Did You Say "Funk"? (2:36)
3. Breathing (2:05)
4. Lurching (2:20)
5. Clouds (5:05)

Well, I just recently got a comment on my funk song "Confunktivitis" in an earlier podcast, and was glad to learn that there is actually a band by that name. Good to get some feedback, so I figured I should continue with another funk experiment. I used loops for the guitar parts, so if you go on Garageband you can reproduce some of the song! But beyond the looped drums and guitar, I added my own high-hat, cowbell, percussion, keyboards, bass, echo guitar, and Chinese flute I picked up in San Francisco's Chinatown.
The second song is also based on a couple of Garageband loops which I just put on top of each other and they kind of worked. Then I added some mellotron, and staccato strings and looped strings to punctuate the proceedings.
The last song is just a simple mellotron song with some noise over the riff.
I know I just posted a podcast two days ago, but I figure I might be busy so I should get this up while I have the time. The picture is an oddly floating Chinese flute!

1. Funky Chinese Flute Tune (6:59)
2. Coma (3:39)
3. Beyond the Afterlife (4:10)

Another batch of psych and pop, many with a dream-like quality. Also several with a scratchy, beat-up vinyl quality, but that's how it goes...
I suppose the inclusion of Genesis, the Strawbs, and Klaatu point towards seventies prog, but they're all early songs. The Klaatu song isn't the album version and has more prominent sitar sound in the middle.
The picture is from the movie "Wonderwall," which is also pretty dream-like and features Jane Birkin as Penny Lane. It came out in 1968 as did several of the songs on the podcast.

1. Aeroplane--It's So Better
2. Persimmon's Peculiar Shades--Watchmaker
3. Love Sculpture--Think Of Love
4. Genesis-- In The Beginning
5. Hat & Tie-- Finding It Rough
6. Octopus--Rainchild
7. Sleepy--Love's Immortal Fire
8. Click--Dancing Babies
9. Rhubarb Rhubarb--Rainmaker
10. Remo Four--In The First Place
11. The Strawbs--Or Am I Dreaming?
12. Klaatu--Doctor Marvello (early single version)

1. Poisonville (4:58)
2. Red Harvest (2:45)
3. Whisper's Joint (5:06)
4. Laudanum (6:37)

I figured I had just enough space for about four more of my songs and that brings me pretty close to the limit. I'm pretty sure I'll get rid of some of my old shows at some point but for now this one squeeks in there. Only the first and last song have any sort of eerie film noir quality but I figured it made a pretty good unifying theme this time and it helped me come up with song titles. All the song titles are chapters or places in Dashiell Hammett's "Red Harvest" except for the second song obviously. The picture is from the movie "Fallen Angel."

Until I get more space this may be my last podcast for a while, so it's got some pop-psych, some pop, and a couple of French pop songs. And a little chatter too. Lots of singles, including the Marmalade which had a riff that Jimi Hendrix supposedly liked a lot. Anyway, it's all there for you to enjoy.

1. Normie Rowe--I Don't Care (Just Take Me There)
2. Cuppa T-- Miss Pinkerton
3. The Merseys--Sorrow
4. The Kingsmen--I Guess I Was Dreamin'
5. The Mindbenders--The Man Who Loved Trees
6. Randy Newman-- Last Night I Had A Dream (promo single)
7. Octopus--The River (single version)
8. The Marmalade--I See The Rain
9. Jigsaw--Come With Me
10. The Crocheted Doughnut Ring--Maxine's Parlour
11. France Gall--Laisse Tomber Les Filles
12. Francoise Hardy--Comment Te Dire Adieu

I know it's been a while since I've made a full podcast of psych gems, but I'll have to eliminate one of my old shows because I'm running low on space. Until then, here's a little 15 minute episode of more of my noodling. The first song is my Quinn Martin police show theme written on commission for Mark and Jean. I guess I should make it clear that it is not the Cannon theme song, which I don't actually remember. It's just a song I wrote in the style of those fine shows. The picture, however, is William Conrad as Frank Cannon, a seventies classic that helped inspire the song, although I incorporated the sound of a lot of shows (The Avengers, Barnaby Jones, Rockford Files and The Prisoner) and threw it into the mix. I did the instrumentation with my Korg keyboard which has a tympani sound and some vibraphone.

1. I Want to Be A Quinn Martin Production
2. Excursion
3. Funk Interlude
4. Is That Right?

If you can listen to all four versions of The Muffin Man and not feel a little strange in the head, then listen to it again. It will work eventually.
1. The Muffin Man version 1 (3:21)
2. The Muffin Man version 2 (4:37)
3. The Muffin Man version 3 (2:44)
4. The Muffin Man version 4 (2:18)

Another episode of my Garageband experiments.
1. You Have Better Things To Do (1:58)
2. Thermosphere (6:15)
3. Narrative of Owen Chase (3:28)

This is a reposting of my last podcast, basically another installment of my Garageband experiments. The first song is a techno-y thing that owes inspiration from Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" with some frenetic bouncing around like the bees at the corner of my house.
The second song is mellower, and the third one I added to this podcast was inspired by Cluster's "Sowiesoso" and features no mellotron, but does have moog (bubbling noises), Korg (harpsichord), and the M-Audio keyboard that I use for the Garageband bass, piano, strings, etc. And yes, I know worms aren't really insects but they hang out with insects. The picture is a bee stinger.
1. Bees (6:20)
2. Worms (4:46)
3. Cicadas [Signal Decay] (5:37)

This is my latest panegyric to the lost art of letter writing. I've also filled out the podcast with a short instrumental and a song from my last podcast with more phasing on the keyboard solo.
1. Man of Letters
2.109 Seconds Later
3. Black Light (phased solo)
4. Man of Letters (Re-mix funky b-side)

The only instrument missing on the first song is a sitar, but I don't have one so it will just have to stay as it is unless someone out there can lay down a sitar track and send it to me. I added an instrumental and reposted this episode. All three songs are meant to be a soundtrack to travels in a black light world.

1. Spinning Galaxy (6:51)
2. Black Light (4:19)
3. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (5:17)

I'm not sure why there are so many super heroes and villains with doctorates, but there seems to be, and Dr. Strange is one of the better ones. Although only some of these songs are psych, they all make for good listening while staring at a black light poster. So that may be the organizing principle. If there are other highly educated Marvel character besides Dr. Doom and Dr. Octopus, feel free to leave a comment and some helpful info.

1. Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall--Toast
2. A Day In My Mind's Mind--The Human Instinct
3. How Can I Live?--Fat Mattress
4. Father's Name Is Dad--Fire
5. The Juicer-- The Sweet
6, Belinda--Puppy
7. Auntie Mary's Dress Shop (mono)--Tomorrow
8. Sitting On A Bomb-- Jigsaw
9. Dear Doctor (take one)-- The Rolling Stones
10. I Need You--Patto
11. Ridin' For A Fall-- Moonrider
12. Jesus What Are Little Kids For--Help Yourself
13. Good Times-- Kool and The Gang

Three fine bits of home recording. This time with guest musician "Dualio" who is my friend John who got the raps rolling with his ode to trucks that have too many wheels in the back (a.k.a. "dualies") and skyrockets. Prior to that, the podcast begins with my efforts in the hip-hop genre, an ode to Kwai Chang Caine and the show Kung Fu that mysteriously fails to mention "grasshopper" in the onslaught of references to the show and karate in general.
Finally, a collaboration with John and me butchering the Rockford Files theme. Not really explicit in terms of current hip-hop... but if I don't put up the explicit marker I'll lose half of my audience.
1. Kwai Chang Caine featuring Master Kan and the Shao Lin Crew
2. Dualio featuring Dualio
3. March of the Rockford Zombies

Four more ditties for your listening pleasure. The first and last are further explorations of electronic music. They both feature plenty of moog and the last song has the moog double-tracked. There’s also plenty of mellotron, and the korg keeping the beat. The two middle songs are my attempts at sentimental songs. Appropriate for Valentine’s Day I suppose.

1. Obsolescence (4:47)
2. Aphasia (5:20)
3. Seaham Harbor (2:14)
4. Arctic Holiday (3:32)

O.K., I guess I keep reposting this episode but I had to change the last song once again, (just the beginning), but I figured I should redo this description while I'm at it.
Six songs this time, a synth song inspired by early John Foxx "Metamatic" sound, a funk song with some wah-wah and a very necessary flute solo, and a really sloppy Avengers theme that I slapped together late at night after watching several episodes on BBC America. I kind of went for a live sloppy version just to see what a mellotron/moog version of the song sounds like. It became less technopop sounding the more instruments I added, but it's just for fun so I didn't go back and try to fix it up very much.
The synth song has mellotron (high notes), korg (bell sounds), and moog (low notes). The korg and moog were recorded "live" through the computer mike, so you might here some background noise like cars going by....
The next two songs are just experiments I tried to get the levels of the moog (same as the one in the picture) to match the software instruments.
Songs four and five are a bit messy and the vocal is awful on Flight Plan, but I liked the sound of some of the instruments.
Finally, I put on a remix of the eighties synth song with a more Gary Numan-sounding synth overdubbed from my computer that sounds a bit like an Arp. It's less minimal than the first version but you can compare them and decide which you prefer (if you like either...which depends on your need to hear a song that pays tribute to early eighties synth tunes.)
The podcast is about 21 minutes this time.
1. Synth Song
2. Funky Wah-Wah
3. Mellotron Avengers
4. Moogism
5. Flight Plan
6. Synth Song (Replicant Remix)

I guess the funk in my last podcast has inspired me to make another extended funk jam. "Confunktivitis" is a serious condition that can lay you up for a week, according to the vocals. If it sounds like a lot of noise, it's because it took 14 separate tracks to get all that funk into one song!
The second song is inspired by the sneaky prowling of a cat as well as my attempt to make a song with three distinct sections that go together, and the last song is my attempt to integrate a vaguely sitar sound from my Korg keyboard into a song.

1. Confunktivitis (7:36)
2. Soseki's Cat (4:52)
3. You're a Sitar if You Think You Are (4:20)

This is a few of the songs I've done with the loops that come with Garageband. I figured I'd try a few songs by layering them over a repeated loop. The first song has as many keyboards as I could cram into one homage to seventies funk. Organ, clavinet, a simulated moog, and a simulated "muscat pluck," whatever that is. The loop is the basic drum track, shaker, and the clavinet. Everything else is my overlaid track, including bass, extra drum sounds and embellishments.
The piano in the second song sounds like a loop but it's not a loop. The only loops in this one are the drums and bongos. The mellotron, piano, and guitar are thrown on top of that.
The last song is actually three piano loops. First, a two chord pattern, followed by an ascending piano loop bridge, and finally a descending piano loop, all of which are labelled "70's ballad" on Garageband. And since I can't drum very well I used Garageband drums and percussion (except my drumming and woodblock percussion at the end over the percussion loop). The mellotron choir, echo piano melody, and guitar are my additions to give it kind of a big ending
The picture is some solar coronal loops.

1. Funkmatized!
2. Secret Agent in a Moroccan Cafe
3. Solar Loops

This is a fairly short podcast of my latest musical doodling. I figured it was time for an eight minute indulgent space jam so that's there in the middle. Then I threw on a short thing I did with vibraphone from another keyboard. It didn't come out perfect, but it has some discordant mellotron so I figured it would be good to include.

1. Splashdown (3:45)
2. Epic Funky Space Jam (8:06)
3. Vibraphone song (2:20)

The last installment of groovy sixties sounds from groovy sixties chanteuses. Francoise Hardy (in picture) does a couple of swinging numbers and Eartha Kitt, the original Catwoman, does two Donovan songs. Both Peanut and Spring songs are Brian Wilson numbers, and listen for some great Brian Wilson production in the last seconds of “This Whole World.” The whole podcast is about 32 minutes this time, with no chatting.

01. Francoise Hardy—J’ai Coupe Le Telephone
02. Eartha Kitt—Hurdy Gurdy Man
03. Doris—Beatmaker
04. Nino and April—You’ll Be Needing Me Baby
05. Francoise Hardy—Ou Est-il?
06. Peanut—I’m Waiting For The Day
07. Spring—This Whole World

09. The Executives—Moving In A Circle
10. Eartha Kitt—Wear Your Love Like Heaven
11. Honor Blackman and Patrick MacNee—Kinky Boots
12. Doris—Did You Give the World Some Love Today, Baby?

A selection of songs by rock bands and musicians that decided to take it to another level. Including Mighty Baby and their later incarnation, The Habibiyya, as well as the George Harrison produced Radha Krishna Temple. Let the music lift you to an ethereal place of bliss.

1. Mighty Baby--Egyptian Tomb
2. The Habibiyya- Mandola
3. Popol Vuh--Lacrime Di Re
4. Julie Tippetts--What Is Living?
5. The Habibiyya--Two Shakuhachis
6. Roger Bunn--Road To The Sun
7. Radha Krishna Temple--Sri Isopanisad
8. Julie Tippetts--Now If You Remember
9. B.B.Blunder--New Day

Well it seems like a good time for more of my noodling. There’s mellotron on the first and last song, but as you can tell from the titles it doesn’t really fit on the middle two very well, which are my impersonations of your standard seventies fare. The faux-Steely Dan song was the result of a challenge, kind of, and you’ll be glad to know that I’m sparing you the lyrics, which mention an El Camino and rhymes “shiraz” with “Mr. Delacroix”. However, the song features a muted trumpet solo from a separate keyboard and plenty of cowbell! Clock song is kind of incidental music. The whole thing is about fifteen minutes.

1. Phase the Answer In The Form Of A Question
2. How To Write A Fake Meters Song (pts. 1 and 2)
3. How To Write A Fake Steely Dan Song
4. Clock Song

More groovy sixties tunes in various languages and sung by female pop stars including France Gall (in picture). No commentary for this one as it’s pretty self-explanatory. Plenty of France Gall, starting with her prescient homage to computer dating. She was years ahead of her time! Spot the covers of Joni Mitchell, the Beach Boys, and the Band!

12. Thinking ‘Bout My Baby--Spring
13. Teenie Weenie Boppie—France Gall
14. Whispering Pine--Doris

Another selection of my compositions put together using Garageband, most of them featuring some mellotron sounds. Usually some combination of the choir, brass, and flute sounds (give or take a sound), but on the first song I used the organ and strings that come with Garageband, and “Mellotron Song” has brass, flute, and 3 violins (no choir sound). The whole thing is about twelve minutes of mellifluous electronics.

1. Missing Planet (2:18)
2. 2003UB313 (3:00)
3. Mellotron Song (2:26)
4. Ni Fun Ni Ju Yon Byo (2:24)

For your listening pleasure I present to you two of my own compositions here. "Funk Song" and "Spacerock Song" which you can guess are my forays into funk and spacerock, respectively.
Because that makes for a very short podcast, I have also included the Barnaby Jones theme, hearkening back to the heady days of Quinn Martin productions and the seventies. Not note perfect, but these are experiments after all. Then another cover of The Monkees "Porpoise Song" and finally my "Spacerock" song again with more distorted guitars.
It's all only twelve minutes so it makes a great break from work. Also feel free to use these songs to entertain friends, liven up work, play at special events, etc.
1. Funk Song
