Getting back Seems I can always write more when I've been away form my guitar, this track was basically a case of getting home from a 2 week break, hitting record, and going for it.

Sign / Dark / Quote Three single word titled tracks, who knows why! These are to cover the last few days I've missed while celebrating a birthday.

Straight Laced This is one of the first songs I was relatively happy with starting out solo, fun to batter out acoustic and lots going on in the recording.

A Plan This is likely to be one of the last straight acoustic guitar tracks I upload here, there are a number of fully recorded songs that should be played instead, stay tuned.

Pave Not sure how much of this one was made up on the spot, but it's seems to find a structure of it's own somehow.

Wisdom teeth This was the original riff that became a song called 'Dig Around' with a previous band of mine, Redhearts. If you like just say - I can post the band version.

Vesuvio / Button Down Frank Black wrote a few songs where the first letters of each line spelt something out, I suppose 'Vesuvio' is a little tribute. Button Down is apparently a 'rough edit', but listening back it's probably one of the most produced versions of any song I have.

Days When this was first recorded a friend and I were musing on how good it would be to create a 'spare' day in the middle of the week for doing something different, or nothing at all, a mid-weekend. This was years ago now, but I think I could use something like that a hell of a lot more these days. Presidents and Prime Ministers really don't understand the extent of the power they actually weild do they?

Bowler Something new, all recorded on first takes though so it's a little loose.

Stripes Sounds a little like an sad acoustic version of a Pavement song, with a mischievously detuned top string.

Pick me up A swift riff this evening, I got to get to the bowling alley!

W3 / Jumper / Weekender 3 to make up for the recent silence. Think the last one has some legs on it, will try to develop. Thanks to all who have been tuning in, if anyone out there has any suggestions for new riffs I'm always keen to give them a go. Pick a key for the song and some kind of theme and I'll have a play...

Florence A cute old track, I haven't got the energy for anything more!

Carnage This is a work in progress, mostly influenced by Cap Your Hands Say Yeah, fantastic band.

Eleven / Indigo One missed yesterday so two for today, both straight forward acoustic riffs but using some detuned strings...

Silver Lining An old recording originally named 'needs a good beat', anyone got any ideas?

Keys rip A quickly constructed one, with a bit of a bounce.
