From shouting at the devil, to being soundly trampled by grunge, glam/hair/sleaze, metal was easy enough to appreciate, even at its worst. Simple but fiery rock 'n' roll songs, with big, dumb choruses, showy guitar solos and enough hairspray to choke an elephant may have gone out of fashion as the '...

This is my everyday foot-controlled guitar effects chain. Not pictured is my Boss GT-1000 Core, which currently comes last, but ideally I'd have that just before the DD-5.
I've had the DD-5 for 20+ years, and have used it in virtually every performance and recording I've ever done since. Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold" was my gateway to learning how delay could elevate my sound.
The looper has been my best creative tool, hands-down. Most days, I sit and just play and write whole improvised harmonies, melodies, and beats with it. When all the memory banks are full, I record them all to long-term storage, then wipe all the banks. I've been doing this for such a long time, I'm sitting on an anthology of vignettes.
#Roland / #Boss have really inspiring and high quality product demo videos. Here's one I came across today. If this doesn't make you want to pick up your instrument, what will? https://youtu.be/V7yrXEKPQb4
The best compositions often lie beyond your comfort zone.
Feeling pretty good. I think I finished writing a new song today. #songwriting #SingerSongwriter #music #guitar
I'll get started on tracking and arranging next, though I'll be travelling for a lot of December so it will take a bit to produce and finish. #musicproduction
Meanwhile he's my slightly tweaked master of Throw It Away from this week. Very happy with the polish on this mix and master so far. I'm getting better. https://soundcloud.com/user-457303967-935193891/throw-it-away-master-01?si=939eb7ad51ad483cadf4061f77b95deb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Hi 🌼
A new song called "Mickey Was A Butcher" is available today.
It's about a butcher and his lambs and is a rollicking good time.
If you're around the Goldfields of Western Australia tonight, come down to Coolgardie Train Station where I'll be playing some tunes.
Have a lovely day!
https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/track/mickey-was-a-butcher
I cleaned up the mix a little for Throw It Away. The low end had some buildup especially on some platforms like car radio. This version is cleaner & a little fuller in the distribution from mid to side channels.
It’s also just a beautiful fucking song & piece of #songwriting by Abbey Lincoln. I’m getting closer to the final master. Comments & feedback more than welcome! How does it come through on your device? #guitar #MusicProduction #blues #jazz #pop #folk https://on.soundcloud.com/moJXv11AMQ833mZYA

Looking for advice on what home I (neither a luddite nor a tech whizz) should choose for #writing on topics ranging from #music, #creativity & #songwriting to community building & #wellbeing.
I've published an article on #Medium before, & know that #Substack has become the recent choice for many. #WordPress, I'm less familiar with, but I like the idea of having more control!
I've read a pros & cons article comparing all three, but thought I'd ask you good people also!
Engage in cross-promotion by collaborating with other artists.

Some fun findings in my poll on song titles. I'm in the "Fuck yeah" group for sure. As in, that's what I voted in my own poll.
I think for me, as a musician who mostly creates instrumental works, long song titles also give the chance to convey some kind of message behind what the intent was of the thing I am creating.
Plus, it's a chance to have a silly fun time and I can't pass that up.

It's #WIPWednesday & I'm sharing the opening #lyrics of a song I'm currently working on.
I'm co-writing it with my son Leon who is a #jazz guitarist, & it will be in the style of an old #JazzStandard, with some added spice! 🙂
It could be called a Christmas song, but actually it's more of a New Year song, & will partner one we co-wrote & released a few years ago called Persevere (Another Year).
I hope to release them as bundle on the last #BandcampFriday of 2023.

Joni Mitchell feiert heute ihren 80. Geburtstag, und eines der besten Dinge, die in diesem shitty Jahr 2023 passiert sind, ist, dass sie wieder ein Konzert geben konnte, auf dem Newport Festival. Ich verehre sie sehr, auch weil sie so offen genial ist. Eines meiner liebsten Lieder von ihr ist "Free Man in Paris". Vor einigen Jahren habe ich dazu einen Blog für die FAZ Popanthologie geschrieben. Ihr könnt ihn hier lesen:

Here's a two-minute sampler of my #album "Here Be Dragons." 🐉
11 tracks of #synthpop and #80s #rock and a bunch of other things. 9 different lead singers, all kinds of surprises and old school songwriting like bridges, solos, and changeups, and just for fun it ends with a 10-minute prog pop epic folk tale! 🤘
The sampler barely scratches the surface, so check out the full album at:

Du nouveau sur ce morceau!
J'ai enregistré une première mouture instrumentale pour poser la structure et le groove. je pense qu'on est bien : 4 couplets chantés, un solo de guitare, un autre de saxo *in fine*, puis un final en chœur. :) (bon il faut imaginer pour l'instant)

Hey everyone, I'm BACK with new music coming next week.
"Highway 101" is all about "I gotta get out of here!" without the pesky "where am I going?"

I don't need a full-on #DAW, and in fact, that would probably be too cumbersome. I just want something that I can quickly and easily test out harmonies or write different instrument parts and test them against each other when I'm writing by myself away from my PC.

Nothing new this #BandcampFriday, but here's a little collection of past stuff to browse if you're interested!
https://single-bass.bandcamp.com/music
If you'd like something gentle and encouraging, I'd suggest "Love to the younger me" or "Weather".
The most recent is "All of us": reflections on humans' place in the living world.
I'm in the middle of recording another new one, as first played at the Green Fest the other week!
The most cathartic thing for me right now is going through my songs and replacing the drum machine with my own live drumming.
Or at least LEARNING the drum parts I programmed so I can be competent enough to record them live.
Either way, I'm immensely happy sitting behind the kit and adding that energy to my music.
Also, a proper logo is coming for Hurricane Blonde. And a proper website. Stay tuned!
I've also added one more #demo recording here. This #song, called Sagittarius Star A, is both a deeply personal conversation with a dead man and a reversal/re-imagining of Patti Smith's Birdland. The lyrics works as a Bush era protest song a la Herbert's album Scales (pretzels, anyone?).
Not to compare myself to either Herbert or Patti Smith. Inspirations are aspirational. This recording is just me and my #guitar being confessional as a college kid, a long time ago.
Ben Gibbard mostly on running. He’s a long distance endurance runner (50km +). Interesting intersection of #music and #songwriting. Outside podcast.
From Peter Gabriel to Edie Carey, I’ve been influenced by other musicians
#influence #inspiration #songwriting

robert hunter died 4 years ago today. this week's #gratefuldead-cast features unheard & surprisingly/wonderfully open 1977-1978 interviews (by @dgans) getting incredibly deep into his lyric writing & #songwriting. https://heads.social/@bourgwick/111103683848472877
Submitted 2 tracks to music supervisors this week. Not expecting much but it’s fun writing for briefs.
Also got tons of personal projects I’m working on. Just wish I had the time:
* 7 Bells (ambient electro)
* City of Shadows (synthwave / goth)
* A Scream in the Fog (prog rock/metal/goth)
* Train to Nowhere (hard rock)
* Curse of the Sea Witch (hard rock)
* What’s Going On? (Santana style rock)
* Ghost of Kyiv (hard rock/metal)
* Lost in the Game (hard rock)
I wrote a sweet, sad, pretty, ultimately hopeful ballad for anyone who has ever gone through, or is going through, a tough breakup.
Please check out Not Mine Anymore as my pre-release demo and let me know if you like it. If you do, please share it and that will encourage me to write more songs.
Thanks! Have a great weekend.

I'm a 47-year-old musician who's been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 16.
I just got my first amplifier. Yes, I am a walking contradiction. But that doesn't diminish my OVERWHELMING excitement right now!
The backstory: I didn't actually start recording any of my songs until about 8 years ago, and my solution for that was simply to play through a DAW and use software effects.
I had no idea what I was missing.
Je me lance officiellement dans ce projet!
J'ai 5 (ou 6) morceaux en tête pour en faire un album *concept*. Cette année (scolaire) je vais m'atteler à en faire une réalité :)
La playlist #soundcloud est ici https://soundcloud.com/floby-iv/sets/lonely-tunes
Pour ce projet là, je vais accepter ma déformation pro et faire ça en *agilité* en livrant une version minimale de tout l'album d'abord.
J'ai déjà fait ça dans le passé, en 2017 et 2019, et c'est documenté là https://album.flo.by/
I wrote a new song! This one's based on and inspired by @vicorva's Tombtown novels, which are excellent and well worth reading (the cover art is used on the video by V's kind permission).
The piece is called A Song Of Books And Bone, and I tried to capture the themes of the books - tales of necromancy and adventure but also about what home means and finding family and identity and community through differences. Hope you like it!
I find it fascinating and somewhat bizarre when an article about how 'songwriting has changed' refers to songs written by one person - 'songwriting has changed' has become a euphemism for 'Max Martin is popular'.

My new song comes out tomorrow. Story songs are difficult, and I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it...that said, come tomorrow, it's out of my hands. I'll be focused on the next song. #Songwriting #Music ❤️🎶
Here is the third #song from the #SuzeeScienceSinger #H2O workshop, teaching basic #science concepts to younger kids. As I sing this song we are either outside making a rainbow by spraying water with a hose (weather permitting), or we are inside using a prism.

My band is trying to get another EP out this year and I’ve got two songs in progress. One is a killer chorus with no verses yet, and the other is three kickass verses with no chorus. Problem is, the chorus is a happy bubbly love song and the verses are melancholic childhood nostalgia.
So if I can’t think of any way to finish the two, I get the fun of re-writing to mash the two together 😬

I used to work with this cool lady and she would always take an interest in my songwriting. Every Monday, she’d ask how the weekend jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. The weird thing was, anytime I had something uploaded for her to listen to, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music” which is fair enough, but it always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making.
One day, I decided to write her a song that she’d enjoy.
Spotify and Apple Music were playing at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.
I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home on borrowed equipment. A mate I regularly jammed with did the vocals for me and when it was done, I uploaded it to my SoundCloud and gave her the link when I got to work.
She liked it.
The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. Even though the recording is rough, the focus on writing a song for one person with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, I think gave me a different perspective than when I was either writing purely for my own enjoyment, or simply going with some random song idea.
I’d love for you to listen to it.
