New Recording!: "History Of Our Home"

wredfright · History Of Our Home

I wrote this song in 2021.  You can hear the demo and read what I wrote about it then here.  For the rerecording, I added fake bass (on guitar) and drummed on the walls and floor of the house.  I also clanked on a folding table leg and added some beeps.  I like how the song builds musically until it's a full house.  This is the last of the Gang Of Foreigner tracks.  If I don't get run over by a bread delivery truck or something, look for the album to be out soon.

Comic: Steamboat Goat

So Mickey Mouse finally landed in the public domain, at least the version of Mickey that's in Steamboat Willie.  Disney made some weird new version of Steamboat Willie that shows dozens of Steamboat Willie Mickeys running around causing havoc (clearly, an allegory for what they feel Mickey entering the public domain will unleash).  I watched the original cartoon thinking it might be fun to do a Mickey Mouse strip, but the character who caught my eye was not the mouse.  I encourage other cartoonists to have some fun with Steamboat Goat.  He's a cool character.  To read the comic, I suggest clicking on the image and making it full screen.  You could also download it after you click on it for the primo view, I suppose.  I've also loaded the panels individually below if you like scrolling down (it works either way).

For more fun (albeit words, not pictures), read one of my novels, such as the latest, Fast Guy Slows Down!

New Recording!: "This Coffee Is Going Right Through Me"

wredfright · This Coffee Is Going Right Through Me

I wrote this song in 2020.  You can hear the demo and read what I wrote about it then here.  For the rerecording, I added a bit of fake bass on the guitar and drums.  I shook a bag of coffee beans as part of the percussion.  I also sang in falsetto just like Prince would have, but I stuck that in the background.  The drum in the chorus is a trash can.  I like its sound.  I slurp some water at the beginning since I already drank all the coffee.
