I always wanted to work with an friend of mine the Mayor of Donutville (@mayor-of-donutville). I sent him a simple guitar track, and he came up with a masterful wall of goodies. To be clear, he did EVERYTHING except the guitar!

Spicy Invalid - ... I've heard a lot about the spicy mayor (Feat. Mayor of Donutville)

This is the completed version before it took on another life with Ang Kerfoot and Woz Supposedly: https://soundcloud.com/couch-king-presents/weighty-tree-the-couch-king

This song spreads the vibes of nonjudgemental, open minded, loving  acceptance for all people, lifestyles, and points of view. May we all be free and safe to express our authentic true selves and boogie on down!  

The Couch King also gives huge thanks to The Weighty Tree for making tons of music with me. Special thanks to Graphics on Televisions for asking the Couch King to kick this song off a long time ago. And thanks to my man Ill Dub of course!!!

Lyrics:
Let it on out now
Just let it on out

We all got something, that's weigh'n on our mind
We all got something, to get on off our chest
We've all had that feeling of being unaligned 
We've all had that feeling, but now is the time to

Everybody's got something to say
Everybody's wants to feel good
Everybody's got something they want
Nobody wants to be misunderstood
Everybody wants to feel loved and express who they are without being judged
Everybody wants to do good and we all have opinions on the things that we should

Let it on out
So we can all get together
And all unite
So we can all be free

We didn't come to this planet to keep it all in
I'm here to tell you that now is the time
To move it and shake it and let it on out

Do you want to be heard
Do you want to feel alive
Do you want to be free
Do you want to let it on out

OTHER PEOPLE PROBLEMS

You and me got the same disease
We're always feeling snubbed
But other people got other people problems
They don't think about us -We just got ourselves to love

But oh oh can't they see we're coming in their direction?
Woe, woe, what will be If we can't make the connection?

Nobody sees, they don't notice me
I walk among the dead
Those other people got their other people problems
They ain't thinking about me. 
They're inside of their own heads

Oh, Whoh, can't they see I'm shouting in their direction
Woe, woe, woe is me you know I need connection

The streets are full of buzzing dreams
a hive of blinding energy
stories walking on two feet
and every one a burning sun!!

We still got the same disease
We're always throwing stones
Too much thinkin' about other people's problems
But we still got us We don't have to be alone

Oh, Whoh, can't they see I'm shouting in their direction
Woe, woe, woe is me you know I need connection

It's been a while but we are back...  and it's good to be back!  Too many styles in this one to mention. Hope you enjoy.

LYRICS:
We're flirting with disaster
Minds bend to fit the mold
Hot flash
Kick back
Run fast
Life is coming for ya
High priced
Hold tight
You're reaching for the sky but you're arms are too short
High class
White Trash
We all keeping it nasty
We all fight to keep our gold

You're all talking about colors
I'm talking about humans
I'm talking about healing
I'm talking about "One"

I saw you lost your vibe
I'll call you in a while
Or maybe not you see, I'm happy by myself
You tried to cut em low
I'll be you'll know the secrets of those who got it right
and you're falling faster than the speed of sound
We're flirting with disaster
Minds bend to fit the mold
Hot flash
Kick back
Run fast
Life is coming for ya
High priced
Hold tight
You're reaching for the sky but you're arms are too short
High class
White Trash
We all keeping it nasty
We all fight to keep our gold....

You're all talking about colors
I'm talking about humans
I'm talking about healing
I'm talking about "One"

You're all talking about colors
I'm talking about humans
I'm talking about healing
I'm talking about "One"

Reaching out.... One

Reaching (Wadlow, Arana, Morefield)

Hey Paisanos!

Long time no speak! I sincerely hope everyone is doing well. I'll catch you up briefly: 1. I got a new job about a year and a half ago. It's good. Unlike my previous job of working 15 hour days and spending most of it waiting, on a computer with an ample internet connection; these days I work normalish hours and am extremely occupied for the duration. Less time for Soundcloud, but the change has also diminished my hatred for all existence, so that's a positive. Then what? 2. We opened an art gallery. It was open a year. Then it closed. Don't be sad. As cool as it was, it was also an unbelievable financial burden. 3. Then my computer broke (water + child.) I replaced it after a while, but all my files are gone-ish, and that's a bummer. 4. Then we moved. Lotsa changes, yeah! 

I've been working pretty much singularly on one secret project since I got the replacement computer, but this previous weekend was Gamejam. Gamejam, thru gm48, is a quarterly contest of gamemaking (you probably guessed that part?) with a 48 hour timeframe. My friends Vinnie and Bacon make games for this, and they asked if I'd be interested in making music. I said, "indeed!" and the rest was history. 

How's it work? I'm glad you asked! From the time they announce the theme, there's a window of 48 hours to concept, design and build the game. The theme was "descent." Vinnie and Bacon decided to make it a sequel to a game they made during a previous gamejam, wherein you fire squids into the ocean in search of treasure. 

Bacon suggested something in the realm of "aquatic ambient metal," with each level having separate audio for "above" and "below." That's what happened. I got to play so much guitar over a 48 hour window that it was almost like high school again, only minus the merciless tauntings. 

The second track was actually written for the original game by Bacon, and he kindly asked me to rework it. Check his soundcloud out here: https://soundcloud.com/kas_1000

If you want to check out the game, here's the link:
https://gm48.net/game/504/sinker-squid
It's a free download, but it's PC only. 

What's been happening with everyone? I pop on and listen from time to time, and have heard some really great tracks from everyone. I spent two straight days listening to @wouwouandthewormling and it was great. Bacon and I work together and we've been on a vaporwave kick lately. I was happy to pepper in a bit of @oliver-buckland

The only other developments I can think of are that my kids and I read the whole Harry Potter series in the last three months, and have just started The Hobbit. Next is Lord of the Rings, then Beowulf, I think. I've been listening to a lot of Enya. Never thought that would happen. 

Ok, that's all I can think of. Drop me a line some time? Cool!

bÄyz - Aus´m Bauch (prod. John Sarastro)

Cottontail

With help from https://soundcloud.com/augenmerk I could at last bring to life these chords I put together 15 summers ago, my last summer before getting married (self portrait says it all).

Text is an old German poem, Karin found and translated it as you will find below. Best of all: now you can hear it on her fascinating voice !!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Morning breeze, extinguish the night!
Get on your feet, each step is right, 
stand up for your dream, your lightful stream, 
don't ignore your might, fight for your right!

It makes difference: wings grow again, 
freedom is in the bird's flight.

Feel the wolf of the night,
the dance of your strength, the air of clear words.
Your heart, your strong-will don't want crooked tours.

The journey is clear and the day is yours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is what happened when we fitted it to the music.
