This time, I may from time to time pull out things from the past.  I have a fairly good archive of 20+ years of noisemaking.  Though a little less ambitious than producing a new original song each week, it allows me to focus more energy when I can and laugh at myself when nobody is looking.  There will be songs.  There will be noise.  There will be Junk.  If you like it, it's yours to have.  If not, there must be something wrong with your MacBook speakers.  Try headphones.

May 12th - Target Rats - Seventh song. Tuesday is my day off. Halfway through my first cup of coffee this morning, someone rang my doorbell. I was still in my underwear. It was the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation going door to door to check properties for rats, and to bait them with rodenticide. Yes it is a word. It helped me round out a piece I was working on and couldn't find a direction for. I was just looping and layering with a new looper.

I sampled generously from the following youtube videos:
"Rat in Toilet" - maddyca - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5Vi5p3EKBE&feature=related
"Rats as pet" - thenewwrinkle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWCoKvqMhHM
"Rat at the Minimart" boxofbc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nqlmgcZNwQ
"Rat Problem Plagues Sacramento Theater" - kcratv - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhEBWuZmIJc
"Rat Laughter" thegoodreverend - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0kxmfSGCaE
"Rats take over KFC/Taco Bell" - wwekrazy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su0U37w2tws
"Rare Foods - Eating Rat" - NationalGeographic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvCjKh1h29Y

Target Rats

June 3rd - Song 9- "Hillbilly Feet" - an asinine pseudo existential dance track.   

Hillbilly Feet

Monkey Cage - July 20th - Song 15
        
      I had a lot of fun making this track and trying to make idiotic lyrics sound acceptable.  Really sloppy demo, but some good times.

Monkey Cage

Some stuff us harder to figure out than other stuff.

Facing the Tree

Track from 2010 that I had forgotten about completely until today.

BM 2010

Running Round in Circles

A demo song about my affair with the Sun.  It's melody and guitar idea I had work out.  Not sure it's really the direction I want to go.  A bit too literal.  I like the 2nd Bridge though.

Summer Daze
Greg Gibbs
For fun,  I was worshiping the sun 
on a beach not far away 

In a dance on the ripples in the sands 
In a long hot summer daze 

As you drift across the sky... 
Like  a sailer 

A billion stars that shine 
You're the only one I see today 

I woke up in the middle of the sun. 
In a long hot summer daze 

Our escape to a blanket by the lake 
All alone on a holiday 

As you struck across the sky 
Like a laser 

Within a billion miles 
You're the only one I see today 

On a rock 8 minutes from the sun 
As the tide tugs away the waves 

Last kiss as the earth begins to twist 
in a long hot summer daze

Summer Daze (less rough edit)

Ground Loop (How I fixed the stereo at work) - November 6th - Song 23 - I fixed the stereo at CBA on Wednesday.  It sounds much better now.  I was just trying to harmonized over three consecutive semitones.  This is just a cycle of three chords.  The bacon part is true.

I Tried

Not a place in me
For make believe
Gotta touch and feel
To know that it's real
And I've seen you cry
I tried

You wrote it down this time
And when I have time
It can sit with me 
And echo
If I don't  reply
I tried

Though you may be right
sometimes

The Lights (Gryllidaen Rights)

More Clear Now - November 24th - Song 25 - Here's a dance track for those times when you're stuck on hanging roller coasters and you just want to rock the chair you're in because you're tired of just hanging there while some mechanic/technician is deciding whether or not to call his superior or just see what happens without the bolt.  Seriously, this is that song.  A bunch of drumsticks on my lap, desk and keyboard stand.  Herky jerky angle jangle.
