The week begins all hodge-podgy.

1) Remixed “Sneakin’ Feeling.” The new version is loaded in the player above and available on the free downloads page. The link in the sidebar is the old mix. You have to actually go to the download page for the new one.

2) Son Unit is moving to a new place for college. We get to pack up his furniture, rent a truck, and drive it to his new place. Oh, and buy new bedding.  The only entertainment value in all this was listening to him explain a hesitance to purchase a particular  comforter” “I’m not sure I can sleep under something that’s trademarked ‘Super-Fluff.’”

3) Sold the Epiphone to an appreciative and talented young player.

4) All other projects forming and disintegrating as if a plasma.

Gasoline Alley cover revisited.

I’m not sure if I improved this one as much in the remixing, but I did like it enough to drag out of the covers bin and tweak it. What I like about this is the resonator guitar sound. It’s providing all the bottom as well as some melody. It’s a Gold Tone model with a lipstick pickup and a piezo and capable of going out of both simultaneously. Great instrument. Here’s the remixery.

Southern Accents cover remixed.

UPDATE 7-23: The vocal was too loud from last night’s mix. This is the final. It also replaces the one on the Free Downloads page, so if you’re one of the 41 people or bots who downloaded the previous version, help yourself to the new and improved mix.

Short version: I remixed a cover of Petty’s Southern Accents. Here it is.

Longer version: One of the curses of creative activities is that with some things you can’t seem to achieve satisfaction, which was the case with my attempt at covering “Southern Accents” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. On my morning exercise routine, once in a while I’ll navigate the mp3 player to review what I have wrought musically, to see if I can live with it. I found that I was always avoiding the cover of this song. It was painful for me to listen to because I enjoy the song and the artists so much, and it just didn’t sound worthy. My problem wasn’t particularly with the performances; I’ve learned to accept my limitations. But the mix just was not pleasing to my ears. For now, at least I know this one is better.

I’m calling this track done. “Tullahoma Shuffle.”

Moving this to the video page because all these recent videos are making for a slow load.

Another email exchange with Harry.

Harry and I were creative partners at an ad agency. He was an art director. I was a copywriter.

Harry: i’m making a lime curd tart.

Fred: I’m making a list of things that don’t spoil so I can stock up in  case of complete economic collapse. So far all I have is charcoal and aluminum foil.

Harry: those two compliment each other with a nice chardonay

UPDATE: If I’d have thought harder, I might have come up with, “I’m making a lime turd cart.”

Escalating political debate.

They are discussing, by the way, a case that has so far been pretty much ignored by fossil media, the DOJ’s New Black Panther voter intimidation case. The hearings were videotaped and include tasty, tragi-comic nuggets like this. It’s very much like British comedy.
