Pop heaven

"Five to Four," a song from The Pomegranate Heart, is featured on today's mix over at the Pop Heaven blog. The mix also includes my old favorites "Shine On" by The House of Love and "Sennen" by Ride: distinguished company indeed.

"Rent Day"

My recently-recorded song Rent Day is featured in the current edition of the Home Made Hit Show, which is dedicated to one-minute songs. You can find the link at the side of the page. "Rent Day" was a fragment that had been left aside until the HMHS's one minute song challenge: the fragment didn't have to be expanded, it could be a song as it was. A very liberating experiment. (Not surprising that I love haiku, probably.)

Back to work...

I'm just back from a wonderful fortnight in Colombia and am already back in recording mode: today I finished a song provisionally entitled "I'm Tired." It's somewhat unusual in being basically lyric-led.
