Our cover of the first track from 69 Love Songs, which we did with little forethought to rehearse, hence it sounding endearingly sloppy and loose. That’s kind of the norm around here, you know.

Michael: Synths, Vocals, Beatbox

There was a knot of microphone cables lying on the floor, prompting Sarah to start singing about it. Jason throws in some percussive guitar and gets in a two bar rap in at the end, while Michael beatboxes and overdubs a synth-bass in later. Everyone get out your, Swiss army knives now.

It has become a running joke that we can not have a jam session without doing a doo-wop song, or at least a song with the I-vi-IV-V chord progression. This one started with all of us joking around that we were all lying on Michael`s bed, and Jason, pitched down an octave, then started singing about cold fronts, sleep apnea, and banana levies.

Michael was playing some half-sung/half-spoken Stax records like I’ll Be The Other Woman by The Soul Children and Woman to Woman by Shirley Brown and asked if Virginia and Jason could reproduce something similar, and what came out was an old married couple arguing about a 10-cent wedding ring and some soul food…

Our sing-along cover of the bubblegum classic by Edison Lighthouse.

A moody upbeat number with some warped vocals in Spanish and English about alchemy, translation, and the elixir of life.

A minor epic of sorts, with Michael and Sarah improvising some sort of lovers spat over cheating, coffee, wine, and long phone calls. The chord progression is borrowed from the song Ansaphone by Pulp, one of Mike P`s favorite things to play on the piano.

Michael does have this habit of walking up and down the stairs during his day job. Apparently, so does lettuce.

Cover tunes happen frequently and spontaneously during our jam sessions, and are always a lot of fun. Here is a sparse version of a Tommy James classic.
