oldzorz

another new DW song. and no, this one is surprisingly not a cover. it's about getting old, unfortunately. stream it below:



ps - my good friend joey stasio has recently finished a preliminary version of a new album - of which I will be playing drums and/or percussion and/or macbook for live in the coming weeks and/or months and/or etc etc. check it out on his bandcamp site because it's already sounding really good.

leap year


yes, it's cover time again. this time it's a cover of one of my all time favorite tracks, "Leap Year" by the group +/- {PLUS/MINUS}. got to use my new fender-knockoff bass a bit more, in a rather unconventional fashion (as you can see above). came out pretty decent though, why not give it a listen?

blood bank
my friend joe introduced me to solo artist bon iver a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't been able to turn it off since. I enjoyed the record so much that I decided to do a cover of my favorite track, "blood bank," which is embedded below from my bandcamp site. if you haven't heard of bon iver, I strongly suggest getting your hands on some of his stuff - brilliant songwriting and incredible vocals.



and speaking of my friend joe, he has recently begun to partake in a competition known as the 50/90 challenge, in which you have to write, record and upload 50 songs in a matter of just 90 days. it's a gutsy thing to do, and he seems to already be getting some great material out of the challenge. you can check up on his progress right here.

this scene two quick updates.

for one, I've discovered (actually joe discovered) another new music site. this one, however, is not only designated for artists but for listeners as well. it's called thesixtyone and it's a very clever site that lets you create either an "artist" or "listener" account. artists upload tracks, and listeners discover those tracks and give them "hearts" - which are basically a sort of "props" that propels a particular track (allowing for even more listeners to discover it). I'm still not entirely sure how the entire thing works, but I created an artist account for declans well several days ago, and the success of it has been pretty tremendous.

among the tracks posted up onto my sixtyone page is a new one that I just finished up this afternoon. it's mostly a track built upon several bits and pieces from older demos and tracks that never really went anywhere or got used too much. surprisingly enough it came out pretty well though - give it a listen below:
