The "Phineas & Ferb" song "I'm Lindana," that everyone knows from the series is the final version of a song I co-wrote with Swampy that evolved over a couple drafts. For the original, first demo of the song, I was was trying to capture a much more angular, abrasive kind of early 1980's Lene Lovich/New Wave/Post Punk flavor than the more catchy, melodic synth-pop song with which we ended up. I actually find this original version interesting and it does have the flavor I was trying to capture. I have no real problem with it (the kazoo was a sarcastic touch), but at the time, when I first posted the demo for the final version (8-9 years ago?), it was labelled "I'm Lindana (Demo #2)" and people began asking me what happened to Demo #1. I jokingly reacted with horror and said something to the effect of, "We do not even SPEAK of Demo #1! Wipe its very existence from your mind!" (or something like that) like it was some fiendish Voldemort of a recording that could wreak havoc upon the souls of men if even mentioned, much less played. I was, typically, NOT being serious. Over the years, it has come up on occasion and I continued to refuse to speak of it and/or imply it was an unholy evil unfit for this mortal realm. It isn't. It's just less catchy, which for some, may qualify it as that after being accustomed to the official version. Either way, here it finally is, "I'm Lindana (Demo #1)" in all its unholy glory. May God have mercy on your soul.

This is a space for various rough songs, "Phineas and Ferb" demos, and other oddities that I feel like throwing in there for fun. Feedback is welcome!

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no Bob Dylan when it comes to music but I will say it’s a ton of fun to dabble in. Way back in the ‘the day’ I used to record music with my friend Frank James and although most of what we did was crap, it sealed a place in my heart for writing songs. Once I went to the Joe Kubert school I met Harry McLaughlin and he and I continued to write and sing songs. Below are few of the songs I’ve been involved with.





You know? The 'Thomas Rewritten' guy?

Whatever, I sometimes make some real weird mashups between songs and themes from the 'Thomas and Friends' soundtrack and other songs with disastrous results.

Sit back and enjoy the ride, because it's not gonna stop for a long while.
