Exactly 10 years ago today – January 18th, 1996 we had a really big blizzard in Thunder Bay. It was so big that work closed down, and I got to stay home. So I spent the day recording and piecing together from other recordings my one and only “mostly-solo album”, called “Robin Plays And/Or Sings”. […]
Here’s another song in bad taste. Written, sung and accordionized by Mike, electric guitar’d by Richard, drummed by Shroom (just snare + tamborine?) and bass’d by me. The song is a parody of Weezer’s “Buddy Holly”. Well really, it just uses the tune from “Buddy Holly” – it’s not like it’s making fun of “Buddy […]
“Mike and the Morons” is yet another band I was/am in. We’d play parodies, “Weird Al”-style, which were written, and sung by Mike Hurlbert. As usual, I’m on bass, and the original line-up had Darren “Shroom” Foulds on drums, and Richard Pepper on guitars. We went through a few line up changes over the years […]
At least, I’m pretty sure all this was recorded in Kevin’s garage probably in ’94 or so. I’m on bass, Shroom is on drums, and I’m not sure who’s on guitar. It sounds above Kevin’s level at the time (he has since improved), but below Brian Dunn’s. Maybe it was Dave Wolframe? Any suggestions are […]
A.k.a. “Happy Birthday Ron”. I think Darren and I decided to make a tape for Ron for his birthday, so we recorded us playing/singing a medley of mostly Neil Young songs. I have no idea why we thought this was a good idea. Presumably this was back around ’94 or so. The songs, in order […]
This song is a 7 minute epic – a story about mind-controlling aliens, featuring a great kazoo solo, and some fun harmonies. I like it! I believe this was recorded during the living room sessions at my dad’s place. I just found out that Quarters was recorded on Oct. 4th, 1995 (my sister’s 21st birthday) […]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you folks (especially to Alex). I had run out of pre-mixed music that I could get in .mp3 format with the equipment I had at home, so I took a break over the holidays. Exactly 8 years ago today, my C-64 demo group PSW released a C64 demo […]
