Airline Security

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

They type of song with lyrics that would get me in trouble if I really believed them. Well, at least if I believed all of them.

The Scandal of ‘83

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I’m particularly proud of the lyrics on this one. My wife couldn’t figure them out, but then again, she was born in ‘86.

Everybody On My Street Is A Zombie

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

This is not a commentary on my neighbors. My neighbors are such that Mr. Rogers himself would have been envious. Rather, this song is an ode to the tired zombie thriller plot.

The Velour Show

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Last night’s show was fun. Ellis and I are now officially (spontaneously) dubbed “The Adventures of Mrs. Packman”, for better or for worse.

For those who remember my cover of “Come Back” I mentioned Clover, a local band me and my brothers listened to way back in Junior High. The lead singer, Jamen Brooks, was at the show last night and it was great being able to meet the man behind one of the most influential bands of my adolescent period. He mentioned he was still jamming and pointed me to his Myspace page. The four songs he has there are extraordinary. His albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, and eMusic. After a morning listening to his two albums I can’t recommend them enough to folks who (like me) thrive on experimental, mellow, acoustic sonorities of the vein of Radiohead.

Acoustic Showcase at Velour

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Ellis and and I will be performing a half-hour set at Velour Live Music Gallery this Wed the 28th. Should be some good times. Come on out. Bring your lighters.

Don’t Say

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I’m finally done with my masters. You may call me Master Andy or Master Andrew. I go by both now. So in commemoration of me starting the weekly song sketches again, here’s a song I just wrote called “Don’t Say”.

no new songs

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I forgot to add this disclaimer to the site. My dedication to my writing and recording a song a week has slackened for a very specific reason: I’m back in school. Fortunately I’ll be finishing my master’s in IS in a couple months and as soon as that happens I will renew my song-a-week schedule. Until then it will most likely be “A Song if I Happen to Have All My Work Done and I’m Not In the Mood to Play Team Fortress II”.

Come Back To Me

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Way back in ‘93 there was a local band in Utah lead by the talented Jamen Brooks. All the locals loved them and had high hopes that they would bust out of the local scene to some bigger venues and audiences. Well, instead they busted up and left us all mourning. But their song “Come Back to Me” remains one of my all time favorite love songs. Here’s my paltry version.
