I spent my childhood in Corralitos, California living on a commune and strumming an acoustic guitar. The sounds above are inspired from that place. Two of the songs feature Tai on vocals, she is a really good singer. Also check out "Bees in the Trees". A friend and I wrote it as a joke sing-a-long song. It ended up in a movie called Pumpkin. You should rent the film on DVD, it's hilarious!
I just put up another "stars" song...originally titled "waiting for alisha." i listed it as "broke and brokenhearted..." as that is the fade out line...
I'm really glad we recorded those songs. Even if we didn't do much with them. I feel like it's a time capsule. A really pretty one. :)
Happy New Year !
"Not a Political Song" video clip - Goodbye to G. W. Bush - is now up on my page. Please come by, say hello and if you like, share with friends.
