Sooooo bad. My guitar strings broke, and I ran out... so I used my roomate's. The guitar fell out of tune as I played. But who really wants to hear this song in tune anyway? Well, I promised I'd put it up... So here.

God this song... i tried it on guitar... but had difficulty playing Bminor with my tiny hands... yeah, it's my least favorite chord, and every song I want to play has it... So i dragged out my dumpster-dive Yamaha from the early 80's. One speaker is blown. Love it. Own it.

Your Ex Lover Is Dead - Stars (Cover) Your Ex Lover Is Dead - Stars (Cover)

Video duration: 232 seconds

This song is haunting to me. It hit me hard around the time just before my departure from Chicago. I have been working on this acoustic cover with a friend, and it's a bit rough on this rough guitar & on my own. I saw them in concert last week. I felt the need to post it. This song fits my life like a glove.

Imagine + This Piano= My old favorite haunt.
I actually used to do a complete instrumental version, but figured for the sake of you-tube, i'd add the vox.

A second attempt. This one is a little bit more energetic, but the camera was on my bed and bounced!!! So sorry for the motion sickness in advance. I'd fix it in Motion 3, but that's way too much effort for youtube.

This song gives me chills. This album in general gives me chills... Elliott Smith is brilliant. I used to put this song on repeat when it first came out. This track and "Fond Farewell" over and over again. It's haunting. That's about all ihave to say.

please be gentle. My voice was having troubles, but I have been aching to play some music, as I have been on hiatus from it. My life feels like it, too.
Slightly homesick, but feeling no regrets. This also is dedicated for a dear friend... Sorry I couldn't do a better job on this. At least it's something...

Meandering Piano (improvisation) Meandering Piano (improvisation)

Video duration: 434 seconds

This is a glimpse of my ideal way to spend downtime. When i was younger and had 15 minutes to do nothing, and no one was around, I would write. No one usually is able to see me in this process as I am terribly shy. But with the power of technology, I am able to surpass that fear. Enjoy the twist ending, too!

Not so sure if I'm in love with this take, but I hit my "3 take limit"... I was requested to try an Aimee Mann song, and I have always wanted to play this one. So enjoy it in all of its sloppy glory! ;-)

I was kind of a huge Beatles geek in jr. high. So while taking piano lessons, I asked my piano teacher to get me a lesson book of all of their songs. We never got around to this one, but I always wished we did. Just having a little fun with this one, it reminds me of Chelsea. ;-)

My move out to California, accompanied by music from Sufjan Stevens, Chicago. I moved out to the bay area from Chicago to work for the Apple Store, Palo Alto. I have been here for almost a year now, and absolutely love it!

It is rough on the edges, but that's how I roll...
I'm working on the lyrics still and there is a lot of improvement to be made. But... alas, that's
what youtube can be great for, right? Break me apart, bring it on!

Sound Check Sound Check

Video duration: 80 seconds

DS Lite Triforce Special Edition & the coolest game ever Electroplankton. It's plugged into my macbook pro, which is fed into "mainstage" (part of logic studio). The soundcheck is one of my favorite karaoke songs. EVER. This was just me testing the levels of the system for our show at Nite Caps (band name: bayonette)
