Since there's much more to be said about this last summers collaborative music project, "The Whiskey Economy," I'm just going to post some of the raw videos for now, and leave the blurbs that they were originally posted with. More to come, more to come!
"Okay Enough"
So this is one of my personal favorites of our work in the past few months, and its also the first song I attempted to write... Unfortunately, this recording is not only unflattering, but in this quick run through, I really lacked the lyrical punch that this song is normally emphasized by. I suppose for now though, It's "Okay Enough..." ENJOY, and please pass these modest little pieces around like.. well, whatever it is you kids pass around now'a days
"Machines Are Coming (Take Off Your Clothes)"
Me and Sean O'Neill had the privilege of playing at the Trout Lake Country Inn last night! I don't remember much, but I think it went well lol... For the majority of my peoples out there who probably missed it, heres a raw recording of "Machines!"
"Fuck My Life"
Another very raw yet very fun soon-to-be Whiskey Economy classic. It is also a very appropriate Monday song... So here's "Fuck My Life." Next time your in a shit mood, put a smile on and sing about it. More to come, hopefully in a better quality format, but first things first...
"Straight Lounge"
"STRAIGHT LOUNGE," is an attempt to describe my recent experiences living in a rural mountain town, through an urban perspective. It was written in effort to find a common ground between two completely different lifestyles. It was also a way to pay homage to my experiences in Trout Lake, because whether you say the life was "absolutely magnificent," "superb," "baller," "pimptastic," or "straight up gangsta," we all essentially mean the same damn thing... (What ISN'T straight gangsta', was having to record the damn thing in me and Sean's room in the Lodge-Pole Cabins on the ranger compound, but oh well, all the more reason to re-record an amazing music video for this in the future)
"Pick Up Truck"
"Pick Up Truck," is the second song me and Sean O'Neill came up with last summer for our music project, "The Whiskey Economy." It is a song about my magnificent summer in Trout Lake, WA, all the amazing people I met, and of course, all the good times we had hanging out in the back of the pick up truck. Six months later when all was said and done, I was left with a raw version of the song recorded via laptop, a plethora of photographs, and the desire to share this heartfelt song with my friends. Here's what I came up with for a video...
SPECIAL THANKS to Maggie Wallace for helping me with some back up vocals on this tune. People liked 'Pick Up' too much for me to not sing- but as I have learned from the numerous songs I've been working on since then, this one is not quite within my vocal capacity. None the less, it is a fun and very meaningful song for me, so thanks to Maggie for helping me make it a bit prettier, and of course, Sean O'Neill for helping me turn allot of scattered words and sour notes on paper, into a beautiful song...
