A cover I recorded of Elliot Smith's "Somebody That I Used to Know" from his album Figure 8 (which you should buy).

Somebody That I Used To Know (Elliot Smith Cover)

Parody of Lady Gaga's "Applause" recorded with new dog rescue lyrics.

The Paws

They stand there waiting for a family of their own
Someone to see their picture, save their life and find ‘em homes
If only they could speak, they’d say “hey this isn’t fair”
Their only hope is that someone like you will bring ‘em here

I love to save the paws, the paws, the paws
I love to save the paws paws
Love to save the paws paws
I live for the way that they meow and bark for me
Save the paws, the paws, the paws

Give me the thing that I love (A little black dog)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (O look a kitten)
Give me the thing that I love (Can barely stand it)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (There all so cute now)

(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love

[Verse 2:]
I've overheard your theory "Pure breeds are for me"
But have you thought about the many more who are in need
They’re living day to day with the risk of being put to sleep
Instead of mutts or mongrels will it help to call them unique breeds?

I love to save the paws, the paws, the paws
I love to save the paws paws
Love to save the paws paws
I live for the way that they meow and bark for me
Save the paws, the paws, the paws

Give me the thing that I love (A little black dog)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (O look a kitten)
Give me the thing that I love (Can barely stand it)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (There all so cute now)

(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love

[Bridge:]
<Meows and barks and stuff>

I love to save the paws, the paws, the paws
I love to save the paws paws
Love to save the paws paws
I live for the way that they meow and bark for me
Save the paws, the paws, the paws

Give me the thing that I love (A little black dog)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (O look a kitten)
Give me the thing that I love (Can barely stand it)
I can’t wait to have the fluff, fluff (There all so cute now)

(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) Let’s find them all homes
(T-H-E SPACE P-A-W-S) I can’t wait to give ‘em love, love

The Paws (Safe Hands Rescue Does Lady Gaga)

Throwback Thursday!  This is a recording from probably 1982 or 1983 featuring my brothers Rhett, Reed, and I performing our rendition of Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog".  Lead vox = me, the drums are Rhett, and the random banging away on some sort of xylophone or bells is Reed.  I am either 8 or 9 years old in this recording, Rhett is 9 or 10, and Reed is 5 or 6.  Enjoy?

Hound Dog (Elvis Presley) - As Performed by ROW

From The Lavone's final studio album, 2000's "Isotope", a mellow track that captures of the essence of sitting next to a window listening to the rain, thinking about the night before.

The full album is available for free download at https://archive.org/details/Isotope.

No Zombie (Trumpet Marine demo version)

Got some new recording gear so I decided to test it out with a cover of XTC's "Hold Me My Daddy" from their album "Oranges and Lemons" which was released 30 years ago, this year.    It's a pretty straight cover.  I love XTC...

Hold Me My Daddy (XTC Cover)

This is a track I recorded for my RPM 2013 attempt.  First time I've ever tried my hand at this kind of 70's TV cop show soundtrack music.  FUN.

A Man Could Get Tired (Rough Mix)

Just as much 70's style funk goodness, but now with a kick-ass saxophone solo thanks to my man Brian Bishop.

A Man Could Get Tired (Initial Mix With Sax)

A short acoustic number with among the best lyrics I've ever written, in my opinion.  It's a few years old, but it's been going through my mind lately so I figured I'd share.
