trio is finally up, and it’s an odd one. “Disguise It” and “More Than That” are two songs that originated on this very page (here and here), and since then they’ve been on the back burner for quite a while. “Lost” is a long lost song originally mentioned nearly two months ago when i couldn’t get it re-recorded correctly. “Lost” is an interesting case because i wrote it a whole step under standard tuning, but i never tune down to there so i’m forced to sing a whole step up (not the most comfortable place for me). These three are very much a representation of what Trio was initially meant to be, so i hope you can enjoy them not matter how rough their edges might be.

Apparently some people were in a mad panic yesterday while i was taking my typical monday off from blogger because my last sunday post sounded like some sort of farewell. Of course, it was a farewell: it was a farewell to a blog-filled weekend. Meanwhile, while these people were aghast that i took a weekend off, none of them listened to this week’s trio. I realize not every week is as good as the the first one or the debut of “relief”, but come on – it’s my weekly feature, damnit. I don’t mind that people ignore the rest of my website, but at least you could humor me and listen to my bumbling around on guitar once a week.
Trio: Season 1, #10
Trio is in the can, and i am bleeding. Alot. But, the music was good. Ouch. Give, Like Mine, & Nothing To Say.
So, the trio i recorded won’t be going up, only because it took me forever to tune up my guitar inbetween playing “little plastic castle” and the next song. For those not in the know, “lpc” is an Ani DiFranco song that’s played on a four string tenor guitar tuned ADAD, whereas a normal guitar is tuned EADGBE. So, i had to turn ADAD into ADGB and then add the E on either side and then launch intrepidly into another song. I managed to do this in about three minutes, and the result was a scorching version of my oldie “Like Mine.” However, the long wait was deathly to keeping listener interest, so “lpc” will have to get cut from this week’s set.
Trio: Season 1, #9
A very bad Trio was just uploaded. Don’t listen to it. Really. Just listen to last week’s trio again. It’s so bad… but then i broke a string on my electric and couldn’t record another one. Please dear god, don’t subject yourself to me attempting to play an electric guitar while Matt uses our broken sink to get water all over the floor of the bathroom.
