  23. <description><![CDATA[Something we recorded a bit more properly than we usually manage in the rehearsal room at the start of the year<br/><br/>Happy to be back. We've been playing a long time. Have been playing with a drummer for the past year or so, which makes such a difference rather than drum machines.  This is heavy pop, confessional mode. Something to do with the police, Hasidic traditions, and a kid who, tragically drowned. ]]></description>

  57. <title>Dotted Lines</title>
  58. <description><![CDATA[A weird shambolic mess of a song about so-called real life intruding on my attempts to appreciate the miracle of existence, the wonder and improbability of life including my own, the majestic splendor of the natural world, blah blah blah<br/><br/>Finally got my recording setup isolated enough to where I can do irresponsible things with my vocal tracks without worrying that one of my condo neighbors will call 911.
  59.  
  60. Lyrics:
  61.  
  62. I know that what makes me me has been recycled a billion times
  63. And I know it's only separated by a dotted line
  64. And when I smell the lavender as I walk by
  65. It should remind me that there's really no such thing as I
  66. But it's kinda hard to believe it
  67. As long as there's a me to perceive it
  68. Yeah it's not enough to make it real
  69. I mean who else is gonna pay these bills
  70.  
  71. I know that every time I breathe it's a miracle
  72. It takes a billion little engines in tandem to keep me alive
  73. And when I see a sparrow or a new green stem
  74. It should remind me that the very same is true of them
  75. But it'll never amaze me
  76. It's just that work has been so crazy
  77.  
  78. I feed the crows and it bothers the neighbors
  79. Can't even live without selling my labor
  80. I traded wonder for comfort and it feels like the deal was raw sometimes
  81. And every morning I sit on a rock and I talk to a tree
  82. Real low so no one approach and notice me
  83. Desperately clawing back what I can from every crack in the unnatural grind
  84.  
  85. I hope there's still something to find]]></description>

  101. <title>Hungry Eyes / I Want the End of the World</title>
  102. <description><![CDATA[Little bit of angry background folk punk. Quick and dirty. Double feature, today. Mostly recorded while lying down and being sad. Lyrics in fold.<br/><br/>From the redlines to the green mines, I think I've had enough of your kind. For all the merit that you'd find, needles hang with hungry eyes. The camels are swinging high.
  103.  
  104. I want the end of the world. No, I don't want no one to get hurt. But, I want the last to be first like it says in the bible.
  105. Failing this, it would suffice for either the dead or the oceans to rise, the stars all to fall, the bombs all to drop, or whatever.
  106. Oh i want the end of the world. It's true. Yeah, don't you?]]></description>

  120. <title>Tomorrow Is A Highway</title>
  121. <description><![CDATA[My a cappella cover of a 1949 folk song ("Tomorrow Is A Highway" -- words by Lee Hays, music by Pete Seeger) that I love.<br/><br/>In 2017 I <a href="https://harihareswara.net/posts/2017/shes-out/">wrote about this song</a>:
  122.  
  123. <blockquote>I've been listening over and over to "Tomorrow Is A Highway". It's got some lovely stark lines, like "leave this evil year behind." Time and space have unified; it doesn't say that we'll walk <i>into</i> the future, but rather, that the future <i>is</i> this journey, and there are only two time durations in this song, days and years -- tomorrow is a highway upon which we'll travel to a better year. And it's sort of a mix of prescriptive and descriptive, prophetically <i>defining</i> us as the people who are making this tomorrow. This song does not explicitly say "this might happen" or "we should hope for this to happen"; instead it combines "this will happen" and "let's make it happen". It's less a song of hope, and more a song of faith and promise and invitation.
  124. It can be hard to let go of hope, and it can be hard to let go of dread.....
  125. I can't seem to find my copy of Ursula K. Le Guin's <em>The Dispossessed</em> at the moment -- did I lend it to you? In it, Shevek thinks a few times about how our conception of time and promises and intentions work together -- a coherent future doesn't just happen, it's intentional human actions that make a "road" and breaking promises denies and breaks that "road" connecting past, present, and future.
  126. I have been feeling as though nothing is solid under my feet..... for the sake of my own forward motion I shall work as though the next stretch of the road exists too -- perhaps every step is in some measure a leap of faith.</blockquote>
  127.  
  128. The lyrics:
  129.  
  130. <blockquote>Tomorrow is a highway broad and fair,
  131. And we are the many who'll travel there.
  132. Tomorrow is a highway broad and fair,
  133. And we are the workers who'll build it there;
  134. And we will build it there.
  135.  
  136. Come, let us build a way for all mankind,
  137. A way to leave this evil year behind,
  138. To travel onward to a better year
  139. Where love is, and there will be no fear,
  140. Where love is and no fear.
  141.  
  142. Now is the shadowed year when evil men,
  143. When men of evil thunder war again.
  144. Shall tyrants once again be free to tread,
  145. Above our most brave and honored dead?
  146. Our brave and honored dead.
  147.  
  148. O, comrades, come and travel on with me,
  149. We'll go to our new year of liberty.
  150. Come, walk upright, along the people's way,
  151. From darkness, unto the people's day.
  152. From dark, to sunlit day.
  153.  
  154. Tomorrow is a highway broad and fair
  155. And hate and greed shall never travel there
  156. But only they who've learned the peaceful way
  157. Of brotherhood, to greet the coming day.
  158. We hail the coming day. </blockquote>
  159.  
  160. (I seriously was not thinking of the <a href="https://metatalk.metafilter.com/26557/Whats-the-one-subsite-youve-never-posted-to">"What's the one subsite you've never posted to?" MetaTalk</a> when I first decided this morning to record and post this, but in retrospect, now I have collected the set!)]]></description>

  172. <title>The sun has got to shine through all this rain</title>
  173. <description><![CDATA[When joy is so close to the surface, when love is right there sitting too, the road to love another is so short, the path of the heart so true.<br/><br/>I lost a friend this week. In reflecting on this rare joy they possessed and where that came from, this song fell out of me. The recording is just getting the song down, and clearly has some rough spots, but I would love suggestions for when I properly record it.]]></description>

  186. <title>I Thought You Knew</title>
  187. <description><![CDATA[Here's another song from the new Coffee Sergeants album Racing Shadows.
  188. The drums, bass &amp; guitars are live, take 2 or 3, no edits. Keys and vocals overdubbed the next day.<br/><br/>I wrote &amp; forgot this bass line a couple times, and was fortunate to find the skeleton in a 10-second voice memo on my phone. Carey brought it to rehearsal on guitar and we beat on it a couple times, then set it aside for a couple months. When it came time to make the album, he sent out a demo, I scoured my phone, and built this bass track from that bit I found. It's so refreshing to be playing bass for someone who lets me be a professional. After we ran down the final version, I asked him what he thought and he just said "sounds great."
  189.  
  190. The highest compliment anyone has ever paid me as a bassist happened 3 times from different peoiple on the same night when we debuted the album: "You sound just like Colin Moulding." I think I'm wearing that influence on my sleeve here.
  191.  
  192. Album available at Bandcamp via Flak Records. Also Apple Music, Spotify, etc.]]></description>

  229. <description><![CDATA[Winter brings that torpor. Here's a slackrock song. Oldish song. Very old riff in the bridge Bouncy, tho.<br/><br/>Where's the song that could feed you like bread? It's the hungry tunes that always end up stuck in your head.
  230. Going broke? What you're saying to me: selling tickets to a show that you don't want to see. There's an easy way out that you don't even want to try, and I don't know why.
  231.  
  232. Where's that verse that's as warm as a bed, that you could wrap around yourself or at least trade in for rent? Has the season got you feeling so soft: selling tickets to a ride that you wanna get off? Well, it's a living. I guess you give in so slow that you'd hardly know.
  233.  
  234. Then you try to sell out and you can't give it away.]]></description>

  246. <title>Don&apos;t Look Back in Anger - Voice Memo Oasis Cover</title>
  247. <description><![CDATA[One of my favorite Oasis songs. Just a quick little cover using my iPhone's voice memo app and the built-in microphone.<br/><br/>The only processing I did on this file was to trim off the setup noises at the beginning, and then I converted it to .mp3.  All this is to say I'm quite aware of the many, many imperfections in this recording :) ... but somehow I still enjoyed listening back to it,  and maybe someone else will too!]]></description>

  270. <title>Into The Sky</title>
  271. <description><![CDATA[Title track from an instrumental album I just finished.  Details inside.<br/><br/>This song features TC on guitar and Sharon Raquel does the voice over. This album was a collab with <a href="https://www.reverbnation.com/dreamtheory">Dream Theory</a>.  The ambitious concept of a "magic carpet ride to different places around the globe" turned into being just about the magic carpet, or flight itself.  He wrote about half the songs.
  272.  On the album, you'll hear some pieces in 5/4, cello, french horn, string quartet, tubular bells, clarinet and other classical samples mixed with lots of synth sounds; also a few pieces in 5/4, modal scales, a phrase played forward and backward - in short, a sonic voyage.  <a href="https://www.reverbnation.com/redeen/album/325863-into-the-sky">Into The Sky - full album. </a> (free streaming/download - Merry Christmas!)]]></description>

  282. <title>The New Folk Hero</title>
  283. <description><![CDATA[Well, there's a new folk hero out there, <a href="https://www.metafilter.com/206572/A-brazen-targeted-attack">as discussed elsewhere</a>.<br/><br/>I couldn't resist recording a little demo based on the essay I woke up and wrote in that thread yesterday. I've seen a few songs out there already with titles like "Deny, Defend, Depose," but I haven't seen a folk song yet. This seems like classic folk-song subject matter: murder ballads, corridos, that kinda thing.
  284.  
  285. If/when it's released for real, ideally with some more interesting instrumentation, I'd do it under the moniker of my new folk/Americana band, Whispering Lake.
  286.  
  287.  
  288. <strong>The New Folk Hero</strong>
  289. Key of G/A
  290.  
  291. [VERSE 1]
  292. G              D                       Bm                  C
  293. I always figured if I don't like the life I'm living

  295. I might as well give something else a shot

  299. And he might just find a way
  300.     G        Bm       Em           C
  301. To take a shot at someone else
  302.  
  303. [CHORUS 1]
  304.                        G   A        C
  305. So here's your new folk hero
  306. G                         A                     C
  307. Smart enough to plan it out but not to escape
  308.          G                 Em                      A
  309. We're all one accident away from feeling the kinda pain
  310.         C                     D            G

  315.         G                  D                Bm           C
  316. It's a testament to fortitude, or maybe decorum
  317. G                          Bm           Em C
  318. That we don't just burn it all down
  319.             G                   D
  320. 'Cause anyone could reach this place&#8212;
  321.          Bm                        C
  322. We're scared to see the pretty face
  323.        G                              Bm          Em       C
  324. Of a man the health-care system ground down
  325.  
  326. [CHORUS 2]
  327.                        G   A        C
  328. So here's your new folk hero
  329. G                         A                     C

  339. It's probably no coincidence our new folk hero thought of this
  340. G             Bm                   Em C
  341. When the future looks so bleak
  342.     G                    D
  343. Replace a man's spine with screws
  344.       Bm                        C
  345. And he'll have nothing left to lose
  346.       G        Bm       Em               C
  347. You take away his hopes and dreams
  348.  
  349. [CHORUS 3]
  350.                        G   A        C
  351. So here's your new folk hero

  353. Smart enough to plan it out but not to escape

  358. G Em C D
  359.  
  360. [BRIDGE]
  361. A                      C
  362. People tend to get upset
  363.                  G                A
  364. When they realize this crushing debt
  365.    C         D              Em
  366. Is all just part of the plan
  367. A                              C
  368. Behind the scenes, all the while
  369.       G                        A
  370. The system's built to keep us servile
  371. C            D                  Em
  372. Make us cave to their demands
  373. A                                C

  375.       G              A
  376. And throw us under the bus

  442. <title>Bruce went to CBGBs (to see Suicide)</title>
  443. <description><![CDATA[I just learned that Bruce Springsteen was a huge fan of the synth-punk band Suicide in the late 1970s and used to  rock out right up at the stage at their shows in NYC. I decided to do my first weekend recording bender in a while in an effort to assimilate that unlikely factoid.<br/><br/>It was a blast to try to figure out how to approximate Suicide's weirdo distorted farfisa-meets-rhythm ace sound. I think I woke up the neighbors as far as two blocks down when I did that scream at the end.]]></description>

  455. <title>Nerds by The Great Disappointment</title>
  456. <description><![CDATA[This song came from a thought that had been kicking around my head for several years, but then turned into a song all at once when I stumbled across the bassline.
  457.  
  458. "When I was a kid I thought the nerds would take over and things would get better.  That was half right."

It is puerile and disgusting.<br/><br/>This is a ~30 second excerpt from the full work, which is almost two minutes long. It was compiled entirely using the command line tool <em>sox</em>, including the stereo spatial effects.

  544. <title>12 Minute Travelogues - Jaunt 12 - Miles To Go</title>
  545. <description><![CDATA[The last piece from 12 Minute Travelogues, an ambient music collection of twelve twelve-minute pieces about travel, being elsewhere, and daydreaming.<br/><br/>12 Minute Travelogues started out in 2008 as an ambient podcast of music made on the road, in hotel rooms, cabins in the woods, laundromats, and while roaming or reflecting on trips taken. There are twelve pieces, each twelve minutes long, miniatures as in "minute," taken from longer improvisations, but edited mainly for time and dialing in the right sound, to assemble a little collection of moments that happened on the roadside, to be released under my ambient monicker, Kantoendrato (Esperanto for "a song in a wire").
  546.  
  547. I was in a funk yesterday, so called out of work sick, sat out in the yard, and plugged in a synth and a looper to make something as a counter to all the tsunami of unmaking that's coming.  I assembled all my various pieces, did some mixing and remastering, put it all together, got it all set up on Bandcamp, and wrapped up what I started back in 2008. I think it stands up as a good work. With the last piece, "Jaunt 12 - Miles To Go," I've covered 144 minutes of slow listening territory between 2008-2024, and there are miles to go before I sleep.]]></description>
