For Your Listening Pleasure...

I've decided to move a slightly different direction with this blog. Lately, I've been recording a lot of music. Unfortunately, I'm absolutely terrible at producing "finished recordings". Generally, I lay down a few tracks and then feel inspired to write a new song. Even when I DO stick with a song, I tend to get stuck in the mixing/mastering process and lose what little creative vision I began with.

I'm also quite fearful of placing my music in public domain, since it's never as "perfect" as I'd like. But I've decided that I should start posting my "unfinished" songs for your listening pleasure. More than that, I'm hoping for your comments. And not the, "Wow... what a great song... You rawk!!!" kind of comments, but rather the, "The drum track sounds atrocious. The third line of your lyrics is contrived. The song needs more rhythm and less random synthesizers..." kind of comment.

Essentially, I'm hoping that the public can help me refine my song-writing/recording skills and perhaps I'll even have a few "finished products" lying around by Christmas. As soon as I get some webspace, I'll create a post for every song and perhaps put up the lyrics and some comments about the direction/feel I'm searching for, additional tracks I'm recording, etc.

Note that the link to each song is the 'title' of the post. Feel free to save the file to your computer and proliferate it to the masses.
