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.

New, old-school vid-gamey track heading for the store.

Moved this video demo to the videos page to fix the slow blog-load problem.

Final of the latest FredTunes track: Bittersweetness. Free for personal use.

Video demo moved to video page.

“No Bones” is the new tune in the works.

My ears are tired, so I don’t know about the mix. More tweaking to ensue I’m sure, but here’s what “No Bones” is at the moment.

I have watched the rooster turn

blowing with the wind

He can’t tell you where you’re bound

only where you’ve been

Sweet Belle was my lover true

we’d marry, that was sure

I tracked the man who took her down

Now that man’s no more

lost the farm when Mama died

raised hell when I went west

stole my cash from greedy men

earned it from the rest

Laws are barely strong suggestions

Borders only clues

A man who’s playing by the rules

is a man who’s born to lose

– I don’t make no bones (3)

Sail away of the high seas

Consort with scoundrels on the beaches of Belize

live off the bounty of my dirt deeds

See how I run

____

Paradise in summertime

summer all year long

a vigilante pays the price

when doing right goes wrong

Fortunes earned or stolen

well, they spend the same they say

what could have been can be avenged

but darkens every day

history repeats itself

get loaded and get locked

The pendulum it swings so hard

bound to break the clock

I have done what I have done

I’ve said what I will say

I’ll not lie in my grave with

espirit d’escalier

I don’t make no bones …

Sail away on the high seas

consort with scoundrels on the beaches of Belize

Live off the bounty of my dirty deeds

See how I’ve run

I don’t make no bones. 3

But wait! There’s More! Rootsy kinda track.

This one if sort of good-times, down-the-middle, a little country-rootsy. So naturally, I thought plumbing fixtures!

Behold the grooveness. New tune heading for the store shortly.

And herewith, the newest track put against video from some iPad spot as a sample of how it could be used. I’m not sure what to call this one either yet, but am open to suggestions.

Random observation on the video. All skin is white, all furniture from ikea. Newspaper is NYT, book is Ted Kennedy. Rock on, stereotypes.

More tunes heading for the Store. Haven’t named this one yet.

This I think works pretty well for the Prius spot. Sort of the California Unicorns feel, but if you have other ideas for a name, I’m all ears.

Three new tracks in the store, 2 production tracks, 1 song.

After careful review by FredTunes® board of directors, none of whom took bailout money, I’ve promoted three tracks to the store, two production tracks and a song.

The production tracks are Dumdum Whistle and Dumdum Smart (one has whistling, and the other singing.)
You can hear them with the “play” buttons in the permanent post that always leads the blog, and if you click the title of either of these tracks you can see how they work against video.

I have a good feeling about these tracks and feel they will prove worthy for web, video, in-house or ad agency producers.

The song is called Tumbleweeds, the same one I’ve been working on for a few weeks, and I finally got a mix good enough to make it store-worthy. There’s a free version of an earlier mix a few posts back as my salute to the recession.
