GREAT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD

The Dirtsmith Single! Push the Wheel / Shake For Me Girl

Dirtsmith, March 19, 2024March 19, 2024

Here it is! The Dirtsmith “single!” It’s still just a demo, but it’s the first thing I’ve ever recorded in a real studio! (In Spain!!!)

Singles used to be an “A” side and a “B” side.

The “A” side for this single is “Push the Wheel.”

It’s not the “better” of the two songs either musically or as a recording, but I wrote it within the past year and it is far more meaningful (to me)

[Special note to American listeners – play this song when you are fed up with your terrible job and need something to push you over the edge].

The “B” side is “Shake for me Girl.” It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a “hit!” It will probably be the more popular song of the two. It kicks ass and you might even get lucky if you play it! But, it’s a young person’s song – it’s twenty years old. And the message isn’t as meaningful to me. But no less fun!

Please keep in mind that this is not “Album Quality.” It’s sort of a proof of concept demo. But I hope you enjoy! 🙂

[And for anyone who missed the teaser demo “Music Video,” here it is!]

A Silly Birthday Song for Bram

October 17, 2023October 23, 2023

Sometimes I get commissioned to write a silly song for someone. It happens most often for birthdays. Sometimes it’s for someone I care about. But sometimes it’s for someone that someone I care about cares about (but I don’t really know). All are bonkers. On one occasion I have produced…
