This week's is a very low-fi, low-tech rendering of The Velvet Underground's "After Hours." One take, with mistakes, recorded directly with an iPhone, 'cause I'm on vacation and this was what I could do. I started out doing this as a bass-only song, which works pretty well, but the uke chords are pretty nice, too, so that's what you get this time around.

Decided I needed to get off my ass and start getting something, anything, happening in my studio. So I pulled out my old cover of For Your Love by The Yardbird. It's been on my "desperately in need of a remix" list for a while now. Pretty simple song, and so far I'm happy with my progress. All the months of work I did on the reworking of my Tom Petty Free Fallin' cover is really paying off I think.

In an Italian bar, where the cover band reminds me of the Borg. It will remove your song’s distinctiveness and… well, that’s it, really. It will remove your song’s distinctiveness and only then make it their own.

This song was my introduction to The Church more than 40 years ago, and I've been a fan ever since. I show my respect by taking a song written for screaming guitars and reducing it to a piano plod, 'cause that's what I do. Love singing this one. Can't believe that I can....

Vocals and piano live, an additional effect added in

Feeling very low energy today, so pulled up something I'd already recorded and tried to shape it up. The result is this week's , an old one from the '90s called "Superman's Song" by Crash Test Dummies.

Vox and keys live, with some and an echo-ey Steinway sample added in

Sunday, so time! Suddenly rediscovered Gin Blossoms because they're so fun to play bass to, and decided to try singing a couple of their songs. So here's "Mrs. Rita," drenched in amateur production and with some video synching issues I could explain, but won't. Thanks to everyone who listens.

Keys and pad are , vocals are multiply overlain, only the is real.

Just remembered that I have a load of old radio shows up on Mixcloud to prove that my user name isn't just a clever name.

This one in particular was great fun.

I've always wanted to sing this odd little song, but always found it daunting. This week I seemed to finally relax into it (after trying it for years), and I think it came out just fine. Vocals and MIDI recorded live together.

This is "The Other End of the Telescope."

Low on energy today so this is just as recorded. It's a delightful little ditty by Dar Williams: "I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono."

This week's is a doleful cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Neither Nina Simone nor The Animals, admittedly. Every time I pick this song back up, I do a little less, and it gets a little better.

(Addendum) (60/54?)

Another instrumental cover. This one is a solo piano cover in which pianist Aurélien Salvi does a pretty good job of the crescendo of the song.

(Addendum) (59/54?)

This one is a bit questionable as to whether it qualifies, since it is only a **partial** cover of Creep, but it probably warrants a mention.

Tom Ellis as Lucifer in the show Lucifer singing part of Creep.
