Nice one ! Enjoyed your relatable situations & thoughts , didn't expect it to be spoken word.  Cheers Man!

God damn Todd. This is just beutiful. I Immdeatly feel like playing along to this with  guitar. Can I make a recording out of this? A song? Maybe a collab, kinda minimalist and just like what you have done here but with my guitar picking... This took me off my feet my friend!

I knew this had to be a cappella as the wave form looked like fishbones (had to get a food reference in there somewhere). Very compelling imagery and subtly but powerfully delivered. Great poetic post Todd. Thanks for sharing, Mark

Recorded summer 2020 on a Tascam 424, interspersed with field recordings from midnight traipses through factories and industrial zones. “the night is in my mouth” is a love letter to all-nighters, busting your speaker system, trespassing, biking home at 3am, and falling hard.

Best enjoyed on your broken walkman, these 8 dusty, grimy tracks lead you on a psychedelic trip through an endless summer night where distant sounds are heard through cold concrete.

the night is in my mouth

It's going to be ok

Old voice memo. Found it in a dark corner somewhere. And played with it for a while.

This will be my last post for a while as it was nearly my last post on Friday. I was taken to North Tyneside General Hospital having had a stroke. A blood clot on the right side of my brain had caused paralysis on my left hand side. i was given treatment that they said had a 10% chance of full recovery and a 4½% chance of fatality: not good odds! As I am writing this you will have guessed the latter did not occur. However I am left with a loss of dexterity in my left hand and can't play the guitar - I am going to have to re-learn how to play again. this is going to be a frustrating time, but I hope to be back with some new tunes soon.

Another night,  another weak attempt at something. Original song is from Neva Dinova/Bright Eyes split.

Happy holidays.

Spring Cleaning (Neva Dinova Bright Eyes Cover)

Almost everything in this song was originally recorded as voice memos on our phones. So... yeah. Lo-Fi for ya!

Many thanks to Maria for her amazing vocals!

Very Short Bio:
toady is a total doucheface. i saw him at the store the other day and he totally whacked me with the coldest of shoulders, all the while eyeballing my girlfriend head to toe and whispering salt n pepa lyrics.
plus, he is always going on about himself in the third person, which is tré irratationing and angrifying.
what a dick.
ok. how about a real bio, and in the first person...
my name is todd haggerty, and i can't seem to find the shift key on my keyboard. i'm from washington state, which is probably the second best state to be in (after the state of nirvana). i currently live in norway, and something (possibly the wife and daughter thing) tells me i will be here for a while.
i make music.  
i'm not a very good soundclouder, as i take a lot more than i give, and am not the best at following up and leaving comments on other people's tracks.  trust me, if i had more time then that would change.
i know my moniker sucks, but every time i come up with a name i like, i google them shits and discover that it's already been taken by some jackass and his or her terrible doof-doof music. sometimes i play with the idea of changing my name to "the ninja fireman," as those were the two professions i pictured myself pursuing as a child.
i'm a cook by profession, which is apparently what five years of uni amounts to. i do make a mean iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise salad. that was a joke. i make those too.
sometimes i get confused in the middle of the night and dig around frantically in the sheets in search of my daughter, who is sound asleep in the next room. or occasionally i will get up and take the sheets off the bed in an attempt to expose the spiders. i know they are there. other times, i will just mumble something to my wife about taking a door off its hinges.
i am afraid of the dark, and if i am home alone at bedtime i will turn on the tv in the other room for a little light and noise. also, the gypsy lady from "drag me to hell" scares me shitless, and when i am showering i often imagine that she is just on the other side of the shower curtain.
my favorite color is yellow, or blue (depending on who is asking).
i hope you like my music, as it reflects on me, and i like people who like me. maybe that isn't true in all cases, but i definitely don't like people who don't like me. i think that's a normal reaction, though.
let's see... what else.... i've recently started to pick my nose and eat it when no one is looking. our little secret. i think it is a good way for me to stay in touch with the child i once was. besides, it's just dirt and oil, which are two of the three main ingredients in greek gastronomy (the third is blind anger).
i like to flex in the bathroom mirror, and i leave the door open a crack in the hope that i will be caught. it gives me a good opportunity to practice being bashful.
I constantly make fart noises with my mouth. it doesn't serve any purpose. it doesn't even approach comedy so much as indicate my fear of silence, and the need i feel to fill any still moment with impressions of flatulence and other, sometimes senseless and wholly imagined onomatopoeia.the only thing stopping me from filling this bio with fart sounds is my lack of certainty as to how i might spell them."theeewwwp!" ""fffffrrrrrp!" my mouth gas seems always to end with a "p." i suppose such a burst of air could only be reenacted with the help of an un-voiced, bilabial plosive.... it lends the necessary pop, the perfect accent.
as of late, i've begun to speak english with a heavy russian accent: "in my country, i am cardiologist.here, i am worker in cafeteria. mother would cry if kremlin allowed."
