“Mad Sax” by Guido
What a feeling it was earlier today to hear this song for the first time and then see the name, and then read who created it. It’s almost too much, too over the top. I can’t help but smile while listening to it.
Sometimes all you need is a good creative challenge, right? Some laptop-musician/producer friends of mine are part of a group, Disquiet Junto, on Soundcloud, where they are given particular parameters for songmaking and they have to post the song once they finish it. This week: sample ice cubes clinking in a glass and make something from it.

File Under: Things to do in the middle of the night: Make a video for your band atop a parking garage. Heather McEntire’s voice slays me; she’s like a punk Dolly Parton. “Lament” was one of 2011’s best break-up anthems. They are on tour all over, next month.
THIS IS GORRGEOUS

Drinking redrum in blood shots,
Sinking in black scotch.
With past’s flashbacks,
Dark and sharp,
Like broken glass.
A hypochondriac with malice,
Getting high from my emotions.
