I don’t know how to make money doing voice work or writing songs, but I’m pretty good at fulfilling the pro bono gigs. Which is not a complaint. All things being equal (and aren’t they anyway?), I’d rather do things like this, if I can. So I got an email from a guy from the …

So apparently it’s some kind of shuttle tradition that the astronauts wake up with a special song. Usually it’s something soaring like U2’s Beautiful Day, but for the last shuttle mission ever NASA is sponsoring a song contest for shoe draggers like me. Thanks to @Eastsidelama for twittering about it! The NASA people will pick …
The last cover song request I got was from Blowhard a couple years back. He wanted me to do a version of Donovan’s “Atlantis”, which is pretty much impossible for me. It’s just too complicated and Donovany. But @hackcomic on Twitter tonight asked me to sing this old spiritual song, “Down in the Valley”. To …
I’ve been listening to R&F here and there when I can and doing music here and there and finally those heres and theres came together a little bit. I’ve also been walking around for the last few weeks with this sort of churchy chorus that goes “now a man ain’t nothing but an old day …
It’s hard to believe but Ronnie Two Shoes has invented the best cupcake the world has ever known. “The Ron Bennington” cupcake is a chocolate and peanut butter man-on the street spectacular and was chosen as the winner of the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars! Congratulation’s to the fine people at Molly’s Cupcakes! Ron wanted a …
Part 2 of the Secret Music of Yesteryear! I started messing around with a 4 track when I was 19 or so (a Yamaha MT1X). I probably used it for 10 years and even though I’m pretty useless with mechanical/electrical/real items, I got to where I could fix it when it broke – replace the …
Chapter 4 of Kittery Embers will be posted tonight or tomorrow (I just have to finish up the second song). In the meantime, here’s “Butterfly with a Bloodshot Eye”, one of the new songs for Chapter 4: [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ButterflyBloodshot.mp3] Quicktime or Download Lyrics: I take your heart, it’s a butterfly Too fragile for the wind …
I was hoping to be uploading the Chapter 2 audio today of “The Rule Book & Calendar of Kittery Embers“, but I got some radio work and I have to focus on that this week. But Chapter 2 is done and all I need is a few hours to record and edit and I’ll upload …
Somebody isn’t very good sync’ing audio with video. I’ll say no more. The Smoke Song Lyrics: There’s smoke in the forest Where the forest ought to be I ought to climb down this old burning tree But I’m looking out the ocean Looking out to sea But there’s smoke in the water where my boat …
This is another one I came up with while driving around. The melody feels really familiar and old timey. I don’t know if it’s some standard melody or what. Usually I don’t feel like what I’m singing is anything I’ve heard before, but this time it did. [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/smoke.mp3] Quicktime or Download Link Lyrics: There’s …
