Name: Give a Shit by Greg Gibbs in My Favorites from 2009
Duration: 2 min 19 s
Description: April 21st, 2009 - 4th track. I worked on 3-4 songs last week. I got caught up writing a song about a wooly mammoth and thought I would finish that today. Instead I finished this one. Forgive the insincerity. "Give a Shit" is closer to Arby's than to your heart. My band wants to play this though and has asked me to finish it. It may grow. More soon.

I Wookiee gonna have to adopt this as his theme music for his Jubilee 50th to 51st certified year, long, multi-language, celepartayval,... li’ crazy ‘pon di leff han’ side

yes, very interesting. i like it but i do find the guitars harsh on the ears

After hearing a few of your songs I'm wondering, do you listen to Andrew Bird? If not, please do! You wont regret it.

Like I said. I love stuff as soon as it's a little strange. With strange I mean original. And this one is very original!!! Man, you can easily keep up with the best artists of the world. At least as far as I am concerned.

This is a collection of my favorites from the Song a Week project I tried last year.  A few are from my February Hemoglobin album. Campus Raygun is just a misfit toy.  They're free to download if you want any.

I'll start up the songs again as soon as I'm back in the spare bedroom:)

My Favorites from 2009

Your Queen

Thom Yorke - After The Gold Rush (Neil Young)

May 5th, 2009 - This is the sixth song I'm written for my song a week project.  I remixed this on 2/23/10.

Slow Down

Give a Shit

April 8th, 2009 - This is the second track. I've been a bit scatterbrained recently, like since the 80s. This track popped out after I posted the first one. I figured I'd just post them as they are done as long as i average one per week and never really get behind. Orwellian Soccer Blues is, much like Ultrasonic Range and Campus Raygun, simple melody and trying to find a nice harmonic and aesthetic setting. Simple songs.

June 30th: Song 13 - "The Lights (Gryllidaen Rights)"
Mixed again November 3rd, 2010
              
              Crap pile of tracks.  I was imagining I was in one of those open air military helicopters - think Platoon.  We were flying low over tropical forests in Central America, running drugs for the good guys.  I was having an existential moment in all the noise, staring at the sunset, imagining the villages below.  For those of you who know me, seriously that was what was going through my head.  Half a bottle of wine.  
              

The Lights (Gryllidaen Rights)

Some stuff us harder to figure out than other stuff.

Facing the Tree

Most Guitars are Made of Trees - August 12th - Song 18   This song was started in April of 2008.  Like I lot of things I do, it was never finished.  Thanks to chiding from friends and mrsbrak, I finished another showcase for my ADD.  

Most Guitars are Made of Trees

Did this song for Circumstance soundtrack.

Within Reach (Full Version)

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.

More Clear Now

This is a pretty tune written by Ingrid Graudins and myself and performed live with Ingrid and Howard Levy in 2010.  From the album: Chris Siebold & Psycles Live At Martyrs'  CSM 2011  Available on CD, vinyl, and all digital formats.

Believe

I'm a home-recorder/songwriter from Chicago - by way of Roswell, New Mexico.  I record in my home office.   If you'd like to remix any of my tracks, let me know.  I can send raw files.
