house of ghosts

it is a house of ghosts every corridorveers into shadows creak of old hinges,original, hardwood flooringclanging of ancient, iron pipes scraping, scratchingfrom behind the walls,below the floors and from the attic, above things too small to seethings that can’t be seen, at allthings that receive no mail, no visitorsthings that aren’t supposed to be hereor anywhere else quick, bright…

H. H.

If you ever were in any kind of doubtAbout the evil in the hearts of menThink about Chicago, circa 1890And what happened there, back when… A hotel was built on S. Wallace and 63rdOwned by one of the devil’s own pawnsA slimy little man by the name of HolmesHe raised the money through elaborate cons How he went about his money schemesIs bad… but it pales, when compared to whyHe built the place up…

Down, Down

Into the unknown, faster and fasterDown, down, into places of doubtTo dark situations we cannot masterInto places no one warned us about Coming, coming, that terrible soundNoises we’ve never heard beforeUnintelligible whispers all aroundMoment by moment, more and more We know not comes, only that it is nighNo more information do we possessJust a powerful dread that we soon shall dieBut when or…

Full Moon Song

This is a song that I wrote in my early twenties but until now, no proper recording of it existed. Magus – Full Moon Song In the past year, I’ve learned several truckloads about “desktop music production” and how to get studio-quality recordings, using only my computer DAW (audio recording program) a basic, two input audio interface and a simple, Shure-58, dynamic microphone. Also, I finally…

Hoochie Coochie Man (Slight Return)

Here is my cover of “Hoochie Coochie Man”. This tune was written by the preeminent Godfather of the Blues, Muddy Waters. Muddy Waters, The Godfather of the Blues The lyrics are heavily laced with references to the Hoodoo conjure tradition of the American South. One commonly misunderstood line is: I got the John the Conqueror Root I’m gonna mess with you To mess with someone was to put roots…

Tact

This is another song that I wrote in my early twenties but it’s only now getting a proper recording. Magus – Tact Back Story I played this tune with various bands over the years but we never got a usable recording, because they were usually done in dive bars with poor acoustics. There was no separation of the instruments, only the chaotic din of drunken idiots in the background. I do still…

Seven Spanish Angels

Seven Spanish Angels My cover of Willie Nelson’s “Seven Spanish Angels”, a wonderful song that he got Ray Charles to do a duet with him on. I don’t care for modern country music but I love Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn… to me, that’s real country music. The great jazz saxophonist, Charlie Patker would go into a bar and load up the jukebox with country…

Something Like A Rainbow

Something Like A Rainbow This is “Something Like A Rainbow”, my first Orchestral Pop song. It’s only a string section, not an entire orchestra. But what sets this apart from anything that I’ve ever done before is that, in addition to writing the chord progression, the guitar and bass parts and the lyrics, I also wrote the string part. That’s a new one for me. And I didn’t just write something…

Sweet Jane

youtube

Here is my cover of The Velvet Underground’s excellent song, Sweet Jane. The images in the video are “famous Janes”, with the exception of course of the two photos of the old Stutz brand motorcar, which is referenced in the lyrics. All bass, guitar and vocals are me. The drums are by Stinky the Robot… because that’s a good name for the drummer who lives inside my computer. He plays only what I…

Home At Last

Need something happy, bright, optimistic and hopeful? Well, I got somethin’ for ya. If you’ve watched more than a couple of my music videos, then you’ve probably already figured out that I’m not exactly the go-to guy for upbeat, happy, cheerful stuff. No, I tend to gravitate towards a gritty type of realism that often steers drunkenly over the white line, into the oncoming traffic of blatant…

Space Oddity

https://youtu.be/2UR6HojOuTg

youtube

David Bowie already captured the ideal, studio sound for “Space Oddity”. My version is quite different. His original recording has the slick, studio mixing of the vocals and the instruments. The original gives all of the cool, background sound effects that give the impression of space travel. Bowie’s “Space Oddity“ is arguably a masterpiece. Any attempt to re-create that would be an exercise in…
