  • Bio

    The Special Goodbye formed sometime in 2006. A variable stewpot of influences came together as long time friends, singer-songwriter David Stockhausen, Tim "picklock" Marcus (also of Or the Whale), and Blammos frontman Arthur Adams, got together to record and perform Stockhausen’s unique songs. With the pop influences of Adams, the electronic wizardry of Marcus, and the croony alt-country leanings of Stockhausen, The Special Goodbye is an ineffable confluence of dark-heart-aching-twangy-electro-pop. While hard to define, the sound and the songs are easy to like. Special Goodbye songs belong in a cinematic landscape with melodies that last long after the headphones are off. They live in San Francisco. ...... .. .. .. a ..........

    Do we really have to go through with this......?

  • Sounds Like

    David Stockhausen after he got over the alt country infatuation and started making more interesting music for himself. I'm sure though, that you could say that I sound like any number of my influences stewed in a pot and served up in tiny bowls, piping hot. I like to think that each song has a mind of its own. Mine seem to be dark minded, heavy but like matresses, not like metal. Sad music makes me happy. Does that make me a sadist or a masochist? Either way.....it all sounds like me...trying to sound like myself. Or as Jordan once put it "very special goodbye-ey"

    SUPPORT THE PROJECT THAT IS BRINGING INDEPENDENT MUSIC TO THE MASSES Leggomydemo.com, the site that ranks independent music artists in real-time to give deserving artists a chance to be heard, has made tremendous progress over the past year to expose deserving artists. The site, now in beta mode, has attracted a $30k Knight Foundation grant and over 1,000 interested producers who have an interest in independent artists. The goal of the project is to create a Pandora-like app that provides free internet radio of the best independent music... but the project needs one last push to complete development. The group has raised over $10k toward their $30k matching grant but needs to raise an additional $3k by their September deadline to release the grant and complete development. Founders have opened a last resort fundraiser at www.indiegogo.com/leggo to raise matching funds and offer supporters special radio access in the premier months ahead. “If we raise the matching funds we will level the playing field against major record labels. If we don't, the project probably won't be completed.�, says Chris Chrebet, original founder of Leggo My Demo. “Right now we are reaching out more than ever to make this a reality.� All independent artists who support Chris and the Leggo My Demo platform are encouraged to donate $9 for a special 3-month access to production quality independent music and free downloads of other artists. Corporate incentives are also available. Donations can be made at www.indiegogo.com/leggo TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT REPOST THE TEXT ABOVE AND MAKE A DONATION! <[iframe] src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/6152897" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0">..
