If you’re a fan of the band Rogue Wave check out this great PBS documentary about their drummer Pat Spurgen’s search for a new kidney. It’s a great and thought-provoking doc! http://video.pbs.org/video/1321349622/

Charge of the Wild Boys

codycast — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:59:41 +0000

Haven’t posted anything in quite a while so here’s a new song.

It’s Me / by The Devil

codycast — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:46:58 +0000

This is the first song from my new electronic band The Devil.

Out West / by Emil and Friends

codycast — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:38:56 +0000

More beautiful Dreampop

Fire Flower / by Emil and Friends

codycast — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 03:53:06 +0000

This song is the aural equivalent of an all-model slow-motion pillow fight.

Specialty Sandwiches / by Emil and Friends

codycast — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:42:49 +0000

A funky dance track with extra pickles.

Short Order Cooks / by Emil and Friends

codycast — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:27:55 +0000

I recently got a request to play a new band called Emil and Friends and after listening to their songs I couldn’t resist. Their music sounds current and fresh while maintaining a great retro vibe. Check out their MySpace page www.myspace.com/emilandfriends and read their fun list of influences. I’ll be podcasting their songs over the next week.

Ghost of Me

Celebrities Are Dropping Like Flies; I’m So Glad I’m Unknown

codycast — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:48:22 +0000

Fame kills. Avoid fame and live forever! Some odd tuning and retro organ make this an interesting song. No vocals yet.

It’s For You

Music For Movies #11 Say Goodbye

codycast — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:56:30 +0000

Actually this is just the instrumental version of a song that will have vocals, but it doesn’t really matter. No vocals, call it Movie Music!

Music For Movies #10 Nancy Pelosi Waterboarded My Dog

codycast — Sat, 16 May 2009 19:07:21 +0000

Nancy Pelosi’s unrepentant and insatiable appetite for torture could not be quenched by human suffering alone.

Incinerate

codycast — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:17:59 +0000

Wet pink nose.

Music For Movies #9 The County of Marin (revised)

codycast — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 07:38:30 +0000

a better version

Music for Movies #8 The Sun Shines Bright Through A Hard Rain

codycast — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 09:40:15 +0000

Last Saturday, when it was storming, the sun came out from the clouds really intensely, and the raindrops looked like a million crystals falling from the sky. I filmed it, of course. I was hoping to film a tornado but the storm wimped out after a promising start.

Music for Movies #7 Secret Island

codycast — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:15:42 +0000

The first time I died, I went to a secret island. The second time I died, I couldn’t find it at all.

Music for Movies #6 The Prima Vera

codycast — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:05:47 +0000

A simple song of spring. Better than nuttin’ I guess.

Music for Movies #5 Storm on the Field

codycast — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:15:08 +0000

Sometimes you imagine lying on your back in a tall-grass prairie, letting the cold hard rain of a great massive thundercloud pour down upon your body until it’s as if you no longer exist, and you become one with the raindrops and the sky.

Of course you’d never actually do such a stupid thing because you’d die of pneumonia or get struck by lightning for sure, but it’s nice to imagine for a while…on a stormy day in April.

Watch Me Drown (backing track)

codycast — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:49:01 +0000

This is just the backing track of a new song I’m working on.

Music For Movies #4 - Walking To Paradise

codycast — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:41:10 +0000

This song is good for beautiful nature sequences and travel scenes. It’s also good for scenes of a women slowly adding butter to a cob of corn, taking a big bite and then smiling with a bunch corn stuck in her teeth.

Don’t backsas me.

Platform Shoes

codycast — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:04:13 +0000

You’ve been naughty again, haven’t you?

When The Power Goes Out

codycast — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 05:52:16 +0000

Instrumental version.

Music For Film #3 - Clouds Are Lonely Drifters

codycast — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:36:09 +0000

I decided to put this one on the Landslide album because it makes a good contrast to the other songs. I’ll ad vocals later if I can keep the same overall feeling.

Music For Film #2 - The Day Florida Fell Into The Sea

codycast — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:36:10 +0000

Mighty Florida capsizes and sinks into the ocean. Fortunately everyone was evacuated in time. WHEW!

Music for Film #1 - City Summer Sunset

codycast — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:49:12 +0000

I’m doing free film scores for the heck of it. This music is free to use for any fillum project.

I see this piece as late summer in a big city with long brooding shadows and cars driving backwards in-slow motion

how ’bout you?

I Hate Sigur Ros (not really)

codycast — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:37:09 +0000

This was just a test of my new $30 preamp that’s supposed to make my vocals sound better. I wasn’t trying to make a song but it turned out kinda funny. BTW…I don’t really hate Sigur Ros, but the whining does get on my nerves after a bit.

Absolutely Useless (revised)

codycast — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:57:57 +0000

In this revision I added a guitar solo at the beginning which I might move later. I accidentally erased this post so I had to upload it again.

When The Power Goes Out (rough demo version)

codycast — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 19:04:23 +0000

I did this song a few summers ago long before I though of podcasting or albums or anything. I was just playing around. Anyway, I thought I’d lost it entirely but I found this really rough mp3 of it which I can use to recreate it for the album “Flamingo”. I warn you the quality is bad and the drums are just me tapping drum sounds on the keyboard…the guitar solo was good though and I like it overall. It’s kind of a pre-pre Meet Eating Vegans song.

Night Sky

codycast — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:23:56 +0000

This song didn’t fit on my other albums but it will work perfectly on “Flamingo”.
