Give me work or give me death

Here's a singalong with my new song!
"Give me work or give me death"

Patrick Henry

Some current, and timeless, inspiration.


"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ...Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? ...I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/henry.htm

Noise test

Here's a noisy experiment, just screwin around, one track one take.
I'm testing how putting my music onto a picture in iMovie works out, aka how to put music on your blog.

Flattr + This is a lot of work!

You can support my site through www.Flattr.com  if you sign up with them and click the button at the top of my homepage. More about it is explained below.
I've spent the last 3 days with the intention of capturing music but being distracted by how to actually get it online in the most effective way. I used to upload to Grooveshark and then post their little player right into my blog. But for the last song it wouldn't upload correctly even after I talked to my buddies at GS, so I just put it on myspace--btw anyone see the completely overhauled myspace aka "my_"? At least it's an improvement...

Some lyrics - A teaser from Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell

Am I climbing the mountain just to leap from its peak?

When you tell me I’m living, I suspect I’m really dying

with each breath a step closer to Death.

I would like to find the Fountain, for I am afraid of this age.

Am I drenched in gasoline in the dark waiting, praying till Hades’ match gives sparks?

When you tell me to look out I am blind, but I suspect I’m slipping straight

towards the Reaper’s ice sickle.

I would like to find a light through this shade of space, the blackest Black Hole.

You Wish I (On a Dark Night)

First Christmukkah post on schedule!

This is to be the first song on my upcoming album. It is part 1 of 2.

For now you can listen on Myspace until I make a widget to play it here.

Let me know what you think! Leave a comment and like, dig, or share this or whatever the kids are doing these days.
