Stating the Obvious

In case it isn’t painfully obvious…My inability to follow through on my ideas has caused me to cease posting on this blog-ish.  I might revamp it at some point, but for tunes and new tunes, I’ve decided to dominate the space of my.

A new Repelican album called “Don’t Mumble the Manifesto” is near completion.  I think I’m going to put up a big RAR file on rapidshare with the entire discography.  It’ll be at the Repelican myspace.  Also, a Jonathonian W. Ehrenkranz (formerly “Thone”) album is in the works.  The Art Department is playing Baltimore a bunch, and I’ve been playing with a DC outfit called The Religious Tongues recently.  Tis all.

Single Friends

Yet ANOTHER acoustic song.  I recently performed many of these dour acoustic numbers in front of some people in Baltimore.  While I think it went well, I’m pretty sure I was a HUGE downer and people were mainly depressed by the performance.  I might do it again, but not at a rock show. 

Not Called The Shots

A newer acoustic song. 

Me Alive

Another aciustic song recorded relatively recently.  My dad was concerned when he heard the grave lyrics, but I explained to him that with a guitar part and melody like that, uplifting and pleasant lyrics just wouldn’t fit.  There’s a part about infanticide, maybe that was too far.

Book On Gnomes

 I was at my old pal’s apartment a couple of months ago and saw that he had the same book about gnomes that my parents prominently displayed on their den book shelf for as far back as I can remember.  I have not read the book on gnomes.  More favorable responses to the acoustic thing recently, which is encouraging.

Reaching Is Implied

 This song was recorded maybe 2 months ago.  So far, very mixed responses to the whole “acoustic solo” thing.  Maybe it needs more EDGE!
