This song is called GAMEPLAN!

A song I wrote with Misung aka Dave Stevenson.
I emailed him the instrumental rough heard below and he sang over it.

Here is the demo

Then I re-recorded everything and sang it in a more exciting key.  Here is a rough mix by me:

Misung and I have been friends since I was about 14. The first time we sat down together and wrote something was a very strange experience to me at that age. He got out a tape recorder and a guitar and said, come on lets write a song. No paper, no pen, just make!

He is one of the most prolific people I know. Thanks Dave for writing this with me! More to come!

In the tradition of not getting what you want and being a brat after christmas, here is this lovely song “the ottomen” (Jim, DaveJustin and  walter ) did back in 2009 about christmas time. It’s called “Christmas time!”

MERRY CHRISTMAS TIME!!

I know I have posted this in the past, but I’m really excited about this video. It was made by my friend Carl Stella. He’s a film maker living in Japan. I’m making music for his upcoming short, so he agreed to make a music video for me. The guy has a great eye and is really professional. Of course, working with me and my haphazardness, I didn’t want him to make a storyboard or real plan, but just go out and shoot. Anyway, enjoy the video and song from my 2009 release “Good morning, goodbye” on cdbaby and iTunes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!! HERE’S ONE FOR THE KING OF ALL KINGS AND HIS HARMONIOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!

Misung Monday Special! This Monday’s theme: Misung covers the classics.

This week’s classic song : Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince, (Sinead O’Connor version).

I heard this song recently and thought, “Hey, that would be a fun song to record.” So i spent a day learning it and recording it, and spent another few days mixing it, fixing it and adding on extra guitar parts. If you listen to the ending, i tried to change it up with a bit of  “Ok Computer era Radiohead” influenced style.

Let me know what you think.

listen to it here>nothing compares 2 U  

next week : “Linger ” by “The Cranberries”

if you have any requests for a song you want me to cover, let me know.
