Lost At Sea

Yo Peeps!

I figured it’s about time I posted something new, something positive. I’ve cooped myself up in my little studio world to work on a lot of new tracks for my band lately. In between I got caught up with producing a song for a new film, through one of my Los Angeles connections.

Now after listening to it several times I must say I am very, very pleased with the results. The song is called LOST AT SEA and it’s meant to portray that romantic, seafaring vibe that so many people have in their mind when they think about working on a ship or being out on the ocean.

If you take a look at the lyrics below, you can see the story of a man who is missing a woman. Yeah, I know, nothing new and that’s just the reason why this song works, ha! Anyway, give it a read and after that have a listen. Feel free to comment below.

Lost At Sea – written by PMG Music

It’s been three years and a day or so since I last saw you
For all I know you think I’m dead
On the eve after we made sweet love for the first time
A drunken fool got hit on the head
And woke up at sea with the world behind me

Many days and many nights sailing under the same sky
that you look up to with a tears in your eyes
Wondering just where I’ve gone because now it’s far too long
And it’s coming to the time where you move on

I’m lost at sea with the world behind me
Drop a tear in the ocean when you think of me
Your love and devotion will always haunt me

This sea of love in motion is floating me high above the ocean
I can see a child who’s loved and wholesome, your family
Can’t get beyond the notion it looks like me

Drop a tear in the ocean when you think of me
Your love and devotion is still haunting me
From ocean to ocean and sea to sea
Your love and devotion will always be
Like a tear in the ocean it’s so hard to see
Perpetual motion I’m lost at sea

Another 5 Minutes

Once upon a time, like 10 years ago, I had my first so-called musical HIT with a song called 5 MINUTES. It’s a true story kind of tune about the past, present and a future hanging on a thin thread called Pregnancy, LOL!

Anyway, back then a Major Label snatched it up right away and we all had a crazy ride on the songs success. I’ve been lucky enough to have that experience a few times in my career and I’m right due for another round! It’s been a looooooooong time coming.

Recently in Berlin, I caught up with the young lady hottie that starred in the original video. Then, produced by big money, name director and subsequently had nothing to do with my vision nor what the song is actually about. Despite the video serving it’s professional purpose, I never liked it much.

Now I’d like to introduce to you the all NEW recording of a Kamary Phillips classic HIT, “5 MINUTES”!!! Also, stay tuned for a new video and I’ll once again feature the woman (Bille) to star in it. She’s down and Berlin’s only 2 hours away, ha!

NOHO New Years

We had a great, intimate New Years hang at the studio of the great Randy Emata. Since Randy moved into our neck of the woods, we've had a new and important center to our little community of "analog friends". I'm personally thankful for Randy's friendship and continuous generosity!

Here's a bit of jamming, which we actually don't do enough of when hanging at the studio. I had the honor of joining these A CLASS musicians while playing bass and singing on this "USE ME" interpretation.


“USE ME”

Here's a right cool jam. I really like the drummer on this one. I don't know his name however. Since I don't own drums nor have a place to play any, its the instrument I have the least practice on and which I enjoy playing the most. I try and play every chance I get at jams. This night, there were no bass players, so I got pulled into that corner almost all night. On this track, I show up around 5 minutes in, start playing bass around 7 minutes or so with Randy yelling chords at me. Rock and roll..."

This is a strange transition. I'm calling it FUNKY WHITE XMAS. First, I'm playing a funky-ass bass line (I still find cool as shit) that just doesn't catch on. It's like, no body's feeling it but me, no body really jumps on the jam. Then, Randy goes off on "Merry Christmas" or some shite, so I join him. I'm going back to that jam sometime.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC is the perfect name for this track. Sick drumming skills going on. It's an island-y thing I'm doing on bass until Randy comes in slingin' his Steinway muscle around, LOL! It comically peters-out in the end with some 'famous last words'.

Yeah, this kid can play...and he shall remain nameless.

Whitney Houston On Oprah

I for one am old enough to remember this woman and her brilliance. On top of that, I’ve been in the music biz long enough to have experienced her (though indirectly) studio work so I know what a perfectionist, pain-in-the-butt, slave driver she was at the height of her career. WTF happened? Maybe one or two of these videos will shed some insight for anyone interested in such info. I sure am.

I am posting this because I just say a tour poster for Whitney while I was in town the other day. Apparently she’s on her way here sooner than later. So I figured I’d dig up something worth sharing besides the music, you know? All that you can easily find in YouTube I’m sure! But this interview? Might be a bit harder to come by. Either way, if you haven’t seen it and you’re a Whitney fan then it’s a must see.

Enjoy.

New UTV Studio For 2010

UTV|Underground Television Network will make a new studio move for 2010 to the lovely Los Angeles area called Eagle Rock. There, we’ve been invited to join the artist community Bedrock Studios, which is a big facility chopped up into many small studios and spaces for artistic uses.

[book id='2' /]

We’re looking at starting a production there in December this year, latest January. Look for new episodes of Cartunes as an early release from the new studio location.

The funniest thing about the space are the couches. Some of you (younger folks) may recognize them from the set of Hannah Montana’s show. Yeah, we stole ‘em. Look for more interesting gear once we get things underway there!

Rawk on…
