#3 ‘Drill Radzinsky, Drill’
Time for track #3 – an itty-bitty song involving a bomb (that’ll make more sense if you actually listen to it).
I wrote this tune in 2011 as a …
#2 ‘The Last Pope’
Track #2 of my idiotic ‘A Year in the Life’ project – 52 songs in 52 weeks – is ‘The Last Pope’.
I’ve long thought of this tune as the epitome of the ‘messy’ category …
#1 ‘Misunderstanding Ovation’
New song! No, not a ‘new’ from the album I put out a few weeks, back an actual new one.
It’s called ‘Misunderstanding Ovation’, and it’s what I hope will be the first of 52 new …
Anecdotes #6 – 1981
I said a few posts back I was just gonna do singles for a while. You know what? I thought I’d be into it, but I’ve found it’s just leaving me a bit unfocused and scattered. So I’ve canned a …
Anecdotes #5 – September 27, 2020 – The Queenmaker
I put out this song ‘The Queenmaker’ a few years ago, but was never happy with the recording. It’s a bit amateur, you know? Recorded a new version that didn’t make the cut for Bunkerland, since it was a …
Anecdotes #4: September 25, 2020 – Perimeter

Whoops. I know I said I was – and I quote – “document what I’m writing and recording in real-time, on this here part of the website”, that’s not quite happened yet, has it? So here’s a bit of …
Anecdotes #2: August 11, 2020 – Wheel in Rain
Was gonna record the vocals for the track I recorded last week, ‘Reversal’, but decided instead to lay down another song in a similar vein, ‘Wheel in Rain’.
Written around the same time, I figured if the mix I’ve got …
Anecdotes #1: August 4, 2020 – Reversal
This is gonna sound real pretentious, especially considering no one’s likely to read it, but I’ve decided to document what I’m writing and recording in real-time, on this here part of the website.
Background: I’ve got this spreadsheet with every …
NEW MUSIC: Never Clever Ever / Are You Feeling Stupid?
Here’s the first taste of my upcoming new album, ‘But Her Emails…’ It’s a single called ‘Never Clever Ever’, backed with ‘Are You Feeling Stupid?’
I know I said in …
