new demo in the style of some of the stuff in here. i should really learn to write lyrics and knock out an EP or something.
i got a sudden urge to get some fingerpickin going right in the middle of doing an assignment. i liked the thing i made up so much that i ended up turning it into a whole song.
mixed a bit too quiet.
writing the tuning here because i will forget it.
E-E-B-D#-B-D#
no idea how i stumbled upon that one.
better get back to work now.

that was excellent. I love that tuning. Mind if I use it?
you can have this two:
C#C#C#G#BE (good for raunchy drones and strange chords)
EG#BF#BbB (really pretty with harmonics)
I like the way you play good sir. Good on ya.

i cannot write lyrics unfortunately.
it's not like i try and they're bad, i just can't string two words together in the context of a song. i've tried a number of times over the past few years and it just doesn't happen.

just write a bad poem and shoehorn it into a melody, works for me.

Yea that second one is really pretty. I came up with it by trying to make it into a strange chord that I liked. It's great with capo too. Capo on 4th and 6th particularly.
here's another: EADF#FD / DADF#FD (the F#'s are probably technically Gb's, but whatever)
Anyhow, yea I really like yr style. Reminds me a friend of mine who I used to play around with alot. We used to spend hours just mucking about with tunings.

4-track demo with my sometime bandmate gareth recorded an hour or two ago:
well i got bored and recorded some new vocals for my old King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1 cover.
apologies for teh kurdtz. i'm fairly sure my voice decided to break at age 20 last year and it goes all broken when i sing now.
DIG, was cool to hear that with ze English vowel sounds, as odd a thing to say as that is.
Not familiar with that Low song, but I liked the cover lots.
Your voice is hella broken for a non-smoker though, I take it you can still talk ok?
