Been playing with the arrangement and structure of My Anger is Greater Than Yours. Of all the Word to Flesh tunes, I’m the least pleased with this one– it can have more bite and interest.
I’m not aiming for perfection with these, but I am shooting for listen-ability. They need to warrant multiple listens.
Pressing on with a couple recordings. My brother Lance is hanging with and lending his pipes on at least one tune today. I can imagine a gospel choir belting this one out. It’s terribly catchy and it will change your life.
I’ve had several tribute albums in mind since 2003. A tribute of Bob Dylan tunes. A tribute of Nick Cave/Tom Waits/ Leonard Cohen tunes. A blues/old gospel tribute with the likes of Blind Willie McTell tunage. A Duke Ellington tribute. And a Sam Phillips tribute (the female singing songwriter, not Sun Records producer).
I started playing with the Sam Phillips tribute a couple years ago, but only recently finished the first song. Once I acquire the mechanical license, I’ll post it soon. Her new album ‘Cameras in the Sky’ is available through her Long Play project. 5 EPs and a 10 song album for a whopping $52, plus art/interviews/else from the end of 2009 until now.
Draws. About to make a page for drawings that don’t accompany songs. I’ll start posting my “daily” drawings there.
Also, Radiohead’s newest is available for download. I’ve had a several listens already. Fantastic layers, poly-rhythms, vocalizings. Ahhh.
