Tuneback: Take a Stand

Tuneback: Endlessly Resurrected

November 26, 2007 | Filed under: Tunebacks

Endlessly Resurrected’s lyrics, written by my songwriting partner NDK Creative Artist, were inspired by the story of Kurt Cobain and the music industry’s vulture-like desire to drip every cent dry from him and his family after his death (not even touching on before!). I wrote the music to this tuneback, and here you have the result, done in under the …

Tuneback: 9 Zeroes

October 16, 2007 | Filed under: Tunebacks

9 Zeroes is a song about integrity. The lyrics to this song were written by NDK Creative Artist, and I handled the music. NDK took 20 minutes to slap the words together and it took me another 45 minutes to throw in some music, but I think spending 5 minutes over the Tuneback time limit is fair enough since this …

Congratulations, Al Gore - Nobel Peace Prize

October 12, 2007 | Filed under: Culture & Commentary

A few hours ago, Al Gore, the real American president and an inspiration path-forger, won the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. NDK Creative Artist, Greg Cameron and I recently wrote a tuneback celebrating his work, Fallen out of love with politics. It is my belief that the single most horrific scam of the new millennia thus far …

Tuneback: Eastern Standard Tribe

August 29, 2007 | Filed under: Tunebacks

Eastern Standard Tribe is a tuneback based on a book I just finished reading for the second time: Cory Doctorow’s Eastern Standard Tribe (yes, it’s the same name). I haven’t written a tuneback in a couple of weeks and love basing them on Cory’s work, so I decided that it was a good way to get back into …

Mimi & Teft’s latest tuneback, Electric Core

August 6, 2007 | Filed under: Free Music!

Mimi & Teft were the first artists outside of Midnight.Haulkerton to start writing tunebacks. They’ve just released their second, Electric Core, after the success of their first stunning tuneback, Delicious. Go have a listen. I look forward to hearing more from you guys!

On a more visual note, a guy called Jayson has used the remix …

Tuneback: Waiting For Me

July 24, 2007 | Filed under: Tunebacks

Greg and I recorded the latest tuneback tonight. Couldn’t tell you if it’s about a Buddhist koan, a Hollywood prostitute or something in between, but at some point we discussed both. So here it is. Our sense of humor is probably not from this planet.

I don’t know what’s going on in your mind
All I need to know is what’s …

Tuneback: My Dying Mistress

July 18, 2007 | Filed under: Tunebacks

I don’t know that there’s much I can say for this song that this song doesn’t say for itself. Listen to it here.

As the dying mistress walks upon
Shells shattered by sands of time
She remembers the day when she
Misplaced her memories with mine

Shells of empty souls that don’t remember
Their old connections to body and mind
Sands that abrasively decay all that …
