There's an R.E.M. song a day account that needed a cover, and I had a couple hours free! First time micing my new amp instead of going straight in, so it was exhilarating even as it sounds so rough.

Art by Julia gf, similarly banged out. Also for some reason I thought I was doing Aftermath not Wanderlust, so I had her do the title bit.

Wanderlust (banged out R.E.M. cover)

I'd start here, maybe visit a shop or two. Come back every once in a while for a free healing at home.

You Remember Your Home Town, Don't You?

Don't you youngsters get into any trouble, ya hear?!

Mischief

Plotting Evil

Smashing Pumpkins did a contest to cover this song for an event. I doubt they will choose this one, but here it is.

Solara cover to wrestle to

I made this score for a little game made during the June 2022 PIGSquad Summer Slow Jams. It's a very small roguelike dungeon crawler where you play as a scientist trying to retrieve missing Boxes O' Science after an experiment gone awry. The test rats all have weird limbs attached, and you can equip the limbs after they are defeated!

Mad Limbs Theme (Title)

This is my pitch for the name and theme for the next James Bond film. If anyone has contacts at Eon Productions, please let them know.

Lyrics:
He’s got a cool head like no other before him
Cause he won’t coalesce though the women adore him
He keeps himself pure and true to his mission
Resists their allure with rigid volition

Between sex and success, you know what he’ll choose
He’s got one thing left to lose

Sharp like a knife, his talent is boundless
With no girlfriend or wife to round off his prowess
He can grapple with grace and pounce like a cat
No home runs, no first base, no first time at bat

He is lauded and praised from most points of view
He’s got one thing left to lose

So many before him have succumbed to that little death
The promise of pleasures and that shortness of breath
He is free from the vices that cause others to stop
Neither shaken nor stirred, but he comes out on top

With nothing to gain and nothing to prove
There’s just one thing
Only one thing
He’s just got one thing left to lose

One Thing Left To Lose - BOND25 Theme

Second draft of one of the covers from my upcoming cover album of R.E.M.'s Reveal.

Beat A Drum (R.E.M. cover)

I am very recent convert to R.E.M., in fact perfectly coinciding with the release and progression of R U Talkin' R.E.M. Re: Me? As they worked their magic, I began to take interest in the music outside the context of the show, and Reveal was the first I listened to independent of their release schedule. It really worked its magic on me. A gloomy summer album, jumping from cotton candy and caramel apples to breakups and facing reality. It's the confident next evolution from a band that refused to get boring in their post-peak days.
When I decided officially in January 2019 to cover this entire album, I gave myself one guideline: no outside sources. I had to learn the songs by listening to them, and transcribe the lyrics as I heard them. So I probably got a lot of that stuff "wrong," but nonetheless true to what I hear. For stylistic approaches, I tried to trust my gut when I had a vision (Beat a Drum, Saturn Return), and otherwise I would turn to Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies, which I would recommend to anyone who is making albums on their own.
The last track on Reveal, Beachball (original version), is unfathomably beautiful. It was the one I was most terrified to tackle, and I decided to rewrite some of the lyrics in order to help me own it in some way first. I hope it's not too blasphemous.
