Well, it's been a while. The kids and the job and the yada yada. I gave myself a challenge to get something out by Halloween. I drew a a card from Eno's Oblique Strategy deck and it told me to indulge my worst tendencies. So kitschy and overproduced it is. I present Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury starring in a Halloween radio play of David Bowie's Space Oddity.

Peace in the middle east and love,
Adam

Space Oddity - David Bowie

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, and seed idea
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar, production, and mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective -- composition
 
This song started with JJ during one of his late Saturday night composition sessions, where he came up with the idea on his synth. He laid down some great organ and electric piano for the rest of us to play with. Ken was first up with his lively, raucous drums. He and I did our back and forth with the rhythm section until it was solid, though. Then Stephen laid in his dirty, rawkin' rhythm guitar to give it an extra foundation. Finally, Tez put the icing on the cake with his monster soloing throughout. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. In this case, Tez did the honors in a very expert manner. We wanted Stephen (Texmex Shaman) on this, too, of course, but he is just now getting settled into his new abode, and was in flux while we were making this one. He'll be back with The Eclectic Collective next week, though. 
  This is an example of Eclectic Collective teamwork. It came together relatively quickly, which means we were all having fun doing it. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

A cover of the Flaming Lips song "Be My Head"
Written by: Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins and Ron Lee Jones

Lyrics:

You can be my head
Oh, I really need one
'Cause it's used all its better days

You can be my head
'Cause I've ruined this one
Blasting holes where it used to be

If it's not a big thing
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me

Be my head, and I'll be yours
Be my head, and I'll be yours

You can be my head
Oh, they've eaten this one
Putting swirls in this giant hole

You can be my head
'Cause I can't afford to buy one
Seeking stars in its other side

If it's not a big thing
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me

Be my head, and I'll be yours
Be my head, and I'll be yours

Won't you be my head, and I'll be yours
Be my head and I'll be yours
Be my head and I'll be yours
Be my head and I'll be yours

FILLUMINATIMIX II (Siamese Fiends)

Be My Head (Flaming Lips cover)

Cover version of the Flaming Lips song "Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (You're Invisible Now)" off the 1997 album "Zaireeka"

Lyrics:

On some driven ship, the morning commuter ride
Everything is orange and bright
In reflection, you can see
You're standing paralyzed
Your suspended disbelief has lied

Your invisible now, and I know that it's hard to get used to
'Cause you're the last secret agent reporting back
But you're reporting back to nothing

Your invisible now, and I know that it's hard to get used to
Your invisible now, and I know that it's hard to get used to

The panoramic scene, the landscape's grand design
The moment overtakes your life
In the silver morning sun
The worst is magnified
It makes you see the use of Christ

Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Flaming Lips cover)

A cover of the Flaming Lips song "Evil Will Prevail"

Lyrics:

With Loving hands
And their arms are stretched so wide they can't seem to take a breath
Knowing evil will prevail
And a million people seems like a lot
And a million people can't be wrong

With loving smiles
And their mouths are stretched so wide they can't even take a breath
Knowing evil will prevail
And the magic bullet is the glowing mothership
And the mother 
(I think I see the mothership a'coming)
Zaps you dead

With loving hands
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing that evil will prevail
Knowing evil will always win

THE HIM

Roger Roger is the synth-pop project of Micah Tamblyn and Dustin Spillman, blending retro textures and modern heart. Their shimmering synths, pulsing bass lines, and soaring hooks soundtrack late-night drives and lost conversations.
At its core, Roger Roger is a transmission — a message sent out into the dark, searching for connection and finding beauty along the way.

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

From Lincoln's county seat, where the wheat grows gold and uniform, ThinWhiteJukebox cast his life-raft adrift to the north sea winds, and landed on the shores of the low country.


Today he resides in and around the beautiful city of Utrecht, from where his scattered troubador mind creates his unique fusion of tender melancholia, folk, lo-fi, psychedelia, electronica. 

Forged under the influence of Neil Young, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Grandaddy, The Flaming Lips, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Spiritualized, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Syd Barrett, The Smiths, The Kinks, Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Daniel Johnson, Primal Scream, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Feist and many others.

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.

IT: Faccio musica psichedelica, a tratti lo-fi, con suoni registrati su nastro, ambienti sfocati, melodie un po’ storte.
Scrivo, suono e produco tutto da solo.
Se ti piacciono le cose sognanti ma un po’ disturbate, potresti trovarti bene qui.

ENG: I make lo-fi psychedelic music — recorded on tape, blurred atmospheres, broken melodies.
I write, play and produce everything myself.
If you like dreamy things that aren’t quite right, you might feel at home here.
