Two New Songs!

I recorded two new songs this weekend.

The first is a 'Sailing Song' and is replacing 'Hope for the Unemployed' on my myspace page. I was getting bored with 'HFTU', glad to replace it, but am kinda sad that there are no harmonica songs on my myspace page.

The other one I recorded was recorded for www.songfight.org. Songfight is where a bunch of artist write and record a song about a certain theme and then listeners vote on which they liked the best. I found out about it because this weeks theme was regarding one of my favourite Internet comics www.qwantz.com. I wrote 'We Were not Meant to be' based on the contest theme (if you go to www.songfight.org you can read more about it and read the actual comic that inspired it.) So sometime this week check out that site and vote for which one you like the most, ... it would be pretty cool if you voted for mine, but if you think another deserved it more then that's fine.

You can hear both new songs by clicking here, or by clicking the big 'My Music' icon on the right.
You can also hear 'Sailing Song' by clicking here and viewing my myspace page.

If you didn't notice because you check updates on only Sundays, I updated in the middle of the week last week, the post is just below!

"What makes a good song? Uneffected, courageous honesty."

Crazy unexpected news. Just a few weeks ago I posted a few songs on CBC radio 3 (I mention it on the blogpost below), and I just found out that on May 9th my song Oranges was chosen as the Track of the day! Craig Norris chooses a song, probably a new one, that he likes and does a short podcast on it. He talks about things like why he choose it, etc, and then plays it. AND HE CHOOSE ORANGES! My face and my song was on the homepage of CBC radio 3 on May 9th! and in turn people added that song to their playlist!

WOOT!!!

If you click here you can see the post:

And if you click this, you can hear his podcast.

He mentions how it reminds him of getting lost and fiddling with directions on a summer day on Canadian back roads, and then goes on to say how he would put it as his closing credits if he ever has a T.V. show in the CBC!

Thanks for listening Craig.

I'm on the radio!

Well not really, for a few reasons. I signed up to have my music on CBC radio 3, which is for the most part an online radio station. As of right now, me posting this, my music still hasn't fully gone through, hopefully it will soon. Right now I have Bones, Oranges and Country Roads (with the drums) on it. I didn't really know what to add though.

... anyways, go listen! spread the word? please ... please , Ö
