    The great 80s song by Stephen and the Colberts. I am playing bass and singing on Expert in Rock Band 2. I got 100% on the bass. Maybe he'll hire me for his next tour. I created a "Stephen" character to sing lead for me. He looks a lot like the real Stephen does in the original video, except here he's shirtless. Wooo.

    LCE059 Big Bottom

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 21, 2008 1:48


    This is an original arrangment of "Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap. It's sort of a jazz-blues -- or blues-jazz, really -- version, with layers upon layers of bass (as many as seven bass parts simultaneously). I think this arrangement really captures the true soul of the original composition, expressing the theme as words never could; hence, the bass guitar does all of the singing. You might not be able to hear the song well on your crummy computer speakers. Try headphones. Created using a BOSS RC-2 LoopStation pedal, Variax Bass, and PODxt Live. The guitar models used (in order) are MiniMoog synth, Fender Jazz, Fender Fretless Jazz, Hagstrom H8 8-string, and Hamer B12A 12-string.

And if you listen to this song and say "but they ... !" then you may just be beyond hope. If you can't disagree without hating the other guy, then you, my friend, are what's wrong.

    "Baby Doe" is a song by Steve Taylor about a baby left to die in 1982 because it had Down's syndrome. I've updated the lyrics slightly in reference to the (now illegal) practice of allowing children who survive botched abortions die in a similar fashion, some of them perfectly healthy, some of them surviving for hours before finally dying. Taylor asks toward the end of the song, "where will it end?" We're not there yet.

    LCE047 Christine, Christine, Christine

    Play Episode Listen Later May 29, 2008 4:02


    "Christine, Christine, Christine" is a love song about Washington's Governor, Christine Gregoire. You can download the MP3 audio of the song here: http://tinyurl.com/3l3xqf The song is not autobiographical. It is sung from the perspective of someone who -- unlike myself -- is perfectly pleased to have a governor who will not only care for his every need, but also make all of his everyday decisions for him. He doesn't have to think for himself, because Christine is his Everything. The song is exactly four minutes long, one minute for each year she will have been in office when she leaves. Feel free to link to this song or video as you wish. If you wish to use the music for anything else, just ask me. Lyrics below, including footnotes for non-Washingtonians who may not understand the issues mentioned in the song. And if you want to help defeat Governor Gregoire, support Dino Rossi. http://www.dinorossi.com/ Chorus: Alone I can't do anything I don't know what I'll do Christine, you are my everything It's all up to you Christine, Christine, Christine Christine, I don't have much But what I have is yours You'll use it better than I would I'm totally assured You know me better than I do You know just what I need If it were left up to me I'd be Driven by pure greed Chorus I quit my job last week, Christine I know I'll be OK You'll keep me fed and clothed, my dear Drive all my fears away You buy me much more every year You've got the cash to spend Next year you'll run out But you can worry 'bout it then[1] Chorus I have no reason to doubt you I have no questions to ask What you tell me adds up nicely Because you taught me with New Math[2] Protect me from myself, Christine Don't let me drive a car Clog up the roads and force me To take trains to get too far[3] Don't let me gamble all I have Unless it's where you choose[4] Don't let me smoke[5] Don't let me not give your campaign my dues[6] Chorus Footnotes: [1] Governor Gregoire and the Democratic legislature have increased the state budget billions of dollars (33 percent) in only four years, asserting that all of this spending is for the citizens, and have left us -- the citizens -- with billions in deficits over the next couple of years that they have no plans to deal with, except to raise taxes (despite Gregoire's assurances earlier in her term that this is precisely what she wanted to avoid). [2] "New Math" emphasizes understanding concepts instead of the ability to actually solve math problems, and many schoolchildren never even learn basics like long division. [3] With Governor Gregoire in office, congestion has worsened in Washington, with no signs of significant improvement overall, while the Democrats have been steadily pushing mass transit that few people want and even fewer are willing to use. [4] Governor Gregoire has opposed expanding gambling to non-tribal businesses, and has supported restrictions on Internet gambling, but has supported expansion of gambling in tribal businesses. [5] Governor Gregoire and the Democrats have supported making smoking illegal in all public establishments. [6] Governor Gregoire and the Democrats removed the law -- just before the Supreme Court of the United States could uphold that law -- that forbade the teacher's union, the Washington Education Association, from taking nonmember dues and using them for partisan political purposes (almost exclusively in support of Democratic candidates and causes). In other words, Gregoire signed a law to the literal effect that all public schoolteachers in Washington are forced to contribute money to get her, and other Democrats, elected. (Out of over $56K spent by the WEA through April 2008, over $48K of that was for helping get Democrats elected (either to candidates, parties, or another PAC), while an additional $1680 went to Republicans and $1600 to a nonpartisan state superintendent candidate.)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 17, 2008 2:57


    "A Few Words in Defense of Our Liberals" is a combination parody/response to Randy Newman's song, "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country," performed at the keynote for Macworld Expo 2008. Let me say up front that if you have a problem with anything in here, well, blame Randy, because nothing I said was any worse, or any less reasonable, than what he said. I am not the musician he is, but hey, I get paid a lot less. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OldToIF5ZGs for the original video for his song, from last January. The slightly different lyrics were posted in the NY Times that same month as an op-ed, at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/24/opinion/24newman.html . Enjoy! And laugh a little! Just because Randy's ticked off, doesn't mean we have to be, no matter what your political persuasion.

    "Just Getting Started" is an original song I wrote and recorded a year ago, as a bit of an homage to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. As with my "Lines and Squares" video, despite the relatively professional sound quality, there's no lip synching here: I merely recorded the vocals and guitars (including the guitar solo) live into my music program as I recorded the video, and then mixed the audio all together and synched it up to the video. So what you see me doing is what you're hearing. No pretending!
