A little drop-D tuning led to a heavy, minute-long recording. Far from perfect, it’s just like all the other shit I shovel out at sporadic intervals. No surprises here!

This is from a few weeks ago. Same story: house to myself, Chinese food, some games and some metal! The usual applies here, so we’ll leave this as a brief intro.

The first recording of 2014. It’s heavy. It’s stupid. It’s the usual…Fuck Yeah!!!

Six recordings this year? Remarkable. This was a fun one and it sounds heavy. This was just an excuse to record; I like the results. That’s all there is to say!

I’ve had more free days to myself this year than the last few combined. It’s fucking awesome, don’t get me wrong…but I do miss the wife and kids. However, after wasting yesterday entirely, I wanted to do some recording today but inspiration wasn’t hitting me. I had some OK rock songs and then I just sat back and did this. It’s brief, it’s essentially a waste of time, but who cares? The ending is pretty cool, just some fun with effects. I present to you, Thirteen V, b/c I got bored with making song titles several years back. Enjoy!

I have had zero interest in posting anything online as of late. All my web sites are suffering and I haven’t been motivated enough to care, sadly. Tonight, however, I had a few minutes and now since the boy is no longer in our bedroom (he’s sharing a room with his sister), I have free reign of the PC after hours. The product is an interesting one. After playing some Saints Row: The Third w/ a friend, our game ended and I let the game idle on the title screen. The theme song was kind of catchy and so I grabbed my guitar, wrote a little theme and this track was born. Therefore, I must give credit to Malcolm Kirby Jr. as he is the author of the basis of this track. Please don’t sue me…it’s just a bit of fun and I won’t be making any money on this! So, here it is!

With the wife & kids downstate, tonight is the first night to myself in over a year. Plans? Nothin’. Record some metal, play some games, awesome! So, I whipped this one together and in the end…it sounds fucking heavy!!! Wow…I’m quite happy with it! Time to dance around the Bone Fire. \m/

Don’t even think of asking me how I managed to record two songs in one day, when I’ve only recorded two songs in the last two years. Once again, this is just an excuse to write/record but I don’t care. It’s fun. Here’s the newest addition…in all its glory. Enjoy!!!

It’s been yet another year since I’ve been able to record anything and so today I did! Part of this was just to make sure my audio hardware was all set up properly. So, as usual, it started with a very basic riff (on bass this time), a pair of stereo guitars, a mono solo-type doodle, drums/snare, hi-hats and finally cymbals. It’s quick, dirty, sloppy and just good enough to post. \m/

I haven’t recorded anything new in about a year, not since the boy was born, really. With my wife and kids out of town for the first time in 6 years, I decided to use my alone time to get back to what I love to do. Today’s recording is mostly out of desire to create something new, less about having an awesome riff to start with. So, it’s really just an excuse to record. What you have now is the first recording in 2012 and was fun to write. It’s certainly demo quality, I hear some fuck-ups that simply drive me nuts. However, it’s worth it in the end; I do hope you agree.
