New: \

[the captain]

New recording done entirely this afternoon of a song I wrote almost exactly 10 years ago. (Like, within a week of 10 years.) Lyrics are mine, plus snippets from an ex-girlfriend's poem and a Delmore Schwartz poem. Hope you enjoy it. Doesn't really sound like my usual stuff. But maybe it kind of does. Whatever. Drums, shaker, bass, piano, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, voices. EDIT: Link removed. New mix in link below.

I am going to do a slight remix today. Not going to get carried away (nobody likes a Jardinish tinkerer--plus, let's be honest, it doesn't matter and nobody cares), but a few things stand out as fixable.

OK, new mix. Main rhythm guitar louder and put into stereo; second rhythm guitar (the sound of surf sounding one on the right) brought down and eq'd some; some reverb on the toms in the "not ok" part, and removed them altogether from the part immediately thereafter. Nothing too dramatic, but a little better to my ears. http://www.sendspace.com/file/rmv6yb

Hey Luther,

Do you have a website, facebook, myspace where you can get more of a following? I really like this A LOT...and I'd love to hear your best work in one unified area.

That intro is killer....and I love the whole song. Great job man!

Thanks, rab2591, I appreciate that. But no, I don't do anything with my songs other than share them with my friends and post them here. I was never particularly ambitious to begin with, and once I got into my 30s I lost what little I had. I think I killed my myspace about two or three years ago, and never did start a Facebook page. Haven't played in a band since maybe 2007. It's really just writing and recording for the fun of it. But if you want a collection of stuff, I'd be glad to compile what's "finished" (is it ever, really? but I mean the stuff I'm less likely to return to) and upload it for you.

If it's no trouble I'd love a compilation of your finished material. You write some great stuff!
