I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass

Click on the title for my funky and fun version of this Nick Lowe song.




People used to say that Nick Lowe just nicked things on the wonderful "Jesus of Cool" album. You know, "So It Goes" is Steely Dan and Breaking Glass is David Bowie, blah blah blah.

Nonsense - the bass line alone of this song makes it stand out.

I don't know what the visuals on this clip are all about the song is the original.

Just Walk Away Renee

Click on the title to hear my cover of this daggy great.


The original has strings, timpani, a flute solo, the kitchen sink, etc.

You'll see:



Cool non?

Ruby Tuesday

Click on the title to hear my cover of Ruby Tuesday. I had fun with some toy keyboards that survived from the 80s. I wanted to create seriously dischordant noise - like Polyphonic Spree in a Box.




I only loved this song because my older sister had a Melanie album with it on. I do like the Rolling Stones original, but my heart is with Melanie. Is it just me or is this just same song as As Tear Go By. It's still great.

Build me Up Buttercup

Click on the link to hear me start this song with an out of tune yell. Never mind, its still a great sing a long song and another classic great of the Bubblegum era.




I know the clip of The Foundations would have been nice but this anime silliness from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy is fun and my third daughter would approve.

Good Vibrations

Brian Wilson took months over his masterpiece.

I didn't. Click on the title above to see why craftmanship and time are not essential if you aren't serious.

Of course you could listen to the original.
