Oh darn, just noticed someone else responded with "haunting". Oh well, it is, you know.

For Round 7 of Victor Infante's Great Cover Song Challenge, disco edition. I was assigned this track, and it was one I was thinking about covering anyway! This is disco gone 80s dreampop.

Me - all vocals, all guitars, synth bass, drum programming

More, More, More (Andrea True Connection cover)

My first song for FAWM 2022 about miniatures and space travel. Featuring wonderful harmonies by Lovina.

Lyrics:

I’m flying high beneath the lightbulb sun
But I came too close so crashed out on the rug
My ship is blown the pieces everywhere
A dusty creature came by to stop and stare

Help me!
I don’t have the key
Won’t you help me?
Up there it’s said to be

A host of wooden stars guide your way home
Saturn’s rings and Mars of styrofoam
Through window in to night
For your final starry flight
Open it, you’ll find your way home

The creature brought to the Queen of Lampshade
And she told me the pieces that I need are deep within that cave
So I journeyed on and found the massive trunk
A man stood guard made of rolled paper, cloth and gum

Help me!
I don’t have the key
Won’t you help me?
In there it’s said to be

A host of wooden stars guide your way home
Saturn’s rings and Mars of styrofoam
Through window in to night
For your final starry flight
Open it, you’ll find your way home

I peer inside, find the pieces that I need
And deep in the corner, the key that sets me free
The window now open, to access the night
Fix up my ship, and blast into flight

A host of wooden stars guide your way home
Saturn’s rings and Mars of styrofoam
Through window in to night
For your final starry flight
Open it, you’ll find your way home

A host of wooden stars guide your way home
Saturn’s rings and Mars of styrofoam
Through window in to night
For your final starry flight
Hopefully you’ll find your way home

It Should Be Easy

This is the first "single" off my upcoming album Refresh, out 4/20/23.

Hey...if Blur can have "Song 2", then I can have this. Me on all vocals, guitars, vocoder, and programming.

Lyrics:

Why are we back here?
The third time's not the charm it claims to be
We're rehashing the same old story
Dress it up all you want, it's plain to see

We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again

We're gluttons for punishment
We burned each other one too many times
So naive, so cavalier
We've been ignoring all and any signs

We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again
We're putting our hands in the fire again

Will we ever learn?
We always get burned

Track III

I was given this song to cover from a sibling duo with whom I was previously wholly unfamiliar, and though my production prowess is definitely inferior to the original, I tried my best to make it my own. These kids really know what they're doing!! Done in Ableton, mostly with live looping, vocals overdubbed.

Me: all vocals, guitars, synths, production

Slow Motion (Nicole + Scotty Cover)

Jim Jones, probably in San Francisco, performing a communist weirdo seance, just makin' shit up.  You gotta admit he's pretty hypnotic.  

Musically I think I was pulling a bit from Sasha's remix of Grand National's "Talk Amongst Yourself".  Or as best I could.  Oh and a Louder My Dear reference.  

The Kool-Aid tape is used on another song.

To Live and Die in L.A. (Wang Chung cover)

The first DJ mix from the all encompassing 70s radio project.  Starts with Asia which I know was 82, but I kinda had to use it as a crankstart.  I guess it's actually more of an era than the actual 70s.  Solid gold hits on AM radio or something.  I'm calling it K-Tel.

Celebrity Handjob x0 - CHj vs K-Tel [Supastition DJ Mix 1.2]

"Loose Cannon" by Suicide While Driving. Quick 2018 remix using the original demo tracks since it seems like all the original masters got corrupted.
