Nought Songs – Your Ex-Lover is Dead (ft. Julia Mecham)02/3/10
Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars, released in 2004. 03-04 is when I really started getting into “Indie” music; and when a lot of songs I now consider classics of sorts, were created. The original finds Stars doing the best of what they do; love-torn heart-on-sleeve indie ballads. Since the original is also a duet, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to enlist the help of my very talented friend Julia Mecham. She’s a great singer and guitarist and songwriter, and she has a better ear for some of this stuff than I do, this track wouldn’t sound half as good without her input. Really, I tried to pass off things half as good. Oh and she came up with that great impromptu hook in the last section. Anyway it was fun recording with her and I’ve learned quite a bit on this song, so my objectives are being met.
Thanks again Julia for indulging me on this project!

Nought Songs – All I Need01/15/10
So here’s my first official Nought Songs cover, All I Need, originally by Radiohead, Released this last year of 09.
This one turned out kinda interesting I guess.
Once again I’m going to be recording a bunch of these, hopefully involving many friends and others in the process. For practice and for fun.

Shelia01/10/10
Over the next month or so I intend to record some covers, mostly songs that are favourites of mine from the past decade. My objective is to better learn how to record music, play music, sing and experiment with different vocal styles, and to involve friends in the process.
This here is just a practice run, a cover of “Shelia” by Atlas Sound.
Being a practice round, things are still pretty shaky, my vocals are no exception. Mind the flats and sour notes. Hopefully I’ll improve as time goes on.
