It’s the dance craze that’s sweeping our house, at least

For the latest round of the Masters of Song Fu challenge, I had to write a tune suggesting a new dance craze for an inventor and/or an invention. Simple enough; I can’t see anything getting silly here.

Song of the Month Club #1: “We All Agree”

Looking up the centre of a derelict tower

   » Looking up the centre of a derelict tower «

Let’s kick it all off with a sea shanty!

There’s some words I thought I’d never say. Oh well, it would appear that I don’t seem to have any real control over the ideas that pop into my head that eventually grow into songs. So I was as stunned as anyone when I woke up one morning a couple of years ago with this little ditty rolling around in my noggin.

Time for a change, methinks

They say a change is as good as a rest, so maybe a change after a rest will be twice as good.

11t1 trips down memory lane

Wall-E loves 11t1; almost as much as 11t1 loves him

The fine art of recovering forgotten music

Here’s some more discoveries from my back-up discs. I uncovered these tunes from a disc I had prepared for my last 11t1 show back in March of 2006. Of all the none-LP tracks I had prepared for the show, these were the only two not riddled with copyrighted material.

Countdown to Breakfast Television

BT

I’ll be on BT this Wednesday morning!

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in front of my TV wolfing down breakfast watching Breakfast Television (BT) on CityTV (Toronto) when one of the hosts (Kevin Frankish) mentions that their segment “Ask Kevin and Dina” could really use some theme music.

Here’s a little something I did up a couple of years ago under the moniker 11t1. I was originally under contract to put it out through a London-based start-up label that ultimately failed to launch. I put it up on iTunes & Napster for a while, but without label support my sales were barely covering my TuneCore hosting costs.
