Every monday I cover a different song, just me and an acoustic guitar. one pass, warts and all (I think I've cocked-up the lyrics to almost every track I've dropped so far). Enjoy.

I really dug Lonesome Town! Pet Sematary killed to such an underated Ramones tune.

Missed this thread earlier. Great stuff I wish I could sing.

I'll go back and watch some of the other ones later, keen to hear the Madonna tune :D

Very good man!

Brave of you to put stuff up on the tube for everyone to see. I play piano and dabble with the guitar... I just play for myself though. I'm no showman.

[Roderick Usher]

Thanks for all the kind words. I was actually expecting a little shit talking... now you're just going to encourage me.

I'm really just screwing around. I used to be a performer, but it's been a long time since I had the drive and desire to hustle to get my ass on stage.

It's dorky as hell, but I'm finding the process quite enjoyable.

Well since you mentioned it... you play well, but you're as ugly as a fresh turd on a hot day.


j/k. But you're right... not enough trash talk. :D

I'd hate to do HURT, just becasue Cash did it better than I ever could, but I should record FOLSOM PRISON BLUES for my boy, Folsom who just turned 13!:eek:

And the head is just a halloween mask called "Fat Zombie" The Mike Myers painting behind him is the work of a local L.A. artist Albert Reyes

He's obsessed with Carpenter and my brother curated a show where this painting (the 25 Years of Terror cover on a 1/2" thick block of wood) was hung. I love it soooooooo much!

You should sing Light My Fire for the ladies of HDC;)

I fucked the chord changes a couple of times, but here's my one-take cover of Muse's STARLIGHT.

that was good though. I love your voice, not like most people on youtube who just hit the notes and sing softly.
