Got the urge to do a cover of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by Eurythmics. One of my first musical obsessions … what I really wanted to do is see if I could nail the original arrangement and sonics, and by golly I got close!

I might put it out. If it wasn’t so expensive to do it the proper way, I’d consider doing a covers EP. Or maybe I’ll give it to a radio show. Suggestions?

Out and about yesterday. Excited to play tonight at the Lamplighter Lounge with my buddies! (Event link in comments)

Lately, I’ve been listening to:

The Durutti Column - no one particular album …

The Human League - mostly Travelogue, but a little bit of Reproduction too.

KAUBOJ - “Evening News” single. Bandcamp link in the comments!

Bill Leeb (his solo work) - the Model Kollapse album

The Notwist - Neon Golden

Donna Summer - “I Feel Love” over and over and over. Moroder’s productions are timeless.

Seems like an appropriate day to share a song inspired by the original Friday the 13th film!

Annie the counselor was played by Robbi Morgan and, next to the unsupervised Jason Voorhees (played by Ari Lehman who fronts the rock band First Jason) has one of the saddest deaths in the movie.

I did a Q&A with Ari years ago for my old webzine and he was cool!

I wanted a better cover graphic for “Polar Pete”, so I made one. Also, there’s a new mix on the single at Bandcamp … sort of a hybrid of all the other mixes. Link in comments!

It’s just another Bandcamp Friday

(Whoa-ooh-oh)

Sorry, had to. “Polar Pete” is still newish, and you can pay whatever price you want for it - including $0.00.

Check it out!
