SUNDAY!

My submission to Minnesota Public Radio's "Songs from Scratch" project that I mentioned in the previous post will be aired on MPR's "Local Show" (89.3 The Current) this Sunday between 5 & 6pm. I got a little email today about it and don't know any other details. Exciting nonetheless. If you're bored, tune in at 89.3 or online here.



Also on Sunday, the same song will be featured on the front page of Redfizz, an independent music feedback forum.




It's worth having a listen to Jeremy Messersmith's version. He's great.

A Song from Scratch

I know this makes me a crappy songwriter, but my least favorite part of making a song is writing lyrics. Just not my thing. I haven't written or recorded since moving to the cities primarily due to a permanent writers block. A combination of loads of free time and a fun project by MPR pushed me to start recording again. MPR announced their 2nd annual "songs from scratch" project, in which musicians create songs around the words of a reputable lyricist, Adam Levy. I thought it might be fun... so, here it is. Not my favorite ever and hasn't been propperly mixed, but its fun to record again:
