  • The Gillmor Gang 2-25-11 (Audio)

    [audio:http://www.stephenpickering.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/gillmor.mp3]

    Direct .mp3 link (iPhone/iPad simply click to play) – Right Click to Download

    Just messing around with Wiretap Studio for Mac. Plus I’d seen a lot of folks who wanted this. If either Steve or TechCrunch minds, I’ll pull it down, no problem. Let me know.

    It’s 83mb and just a regular file on my Cloud Site, so I don’t know how long it will take to start playing for you. The servers are in the Dallas/FW Metroplex and I’m in Arkansas so it only takes a few seconds for me.

    I take that back. It’s taking about 20 seconds for me, so may be longer for you. May need to put it on a Cloud File for CDN support.

    Here’s a direct link to the show as it appears live streaming, usually every Friday around 1pm Pacific. Check Steve Gillmor’s Twitter to be more specific.

    Also a video replay usually appears on TechCrunch the following day, Saturday, or so.

  • [Video] A Drive Through the Snow and Musical Accompaniment.


    This is just a video I made driving through the snow in Little Rock on 1-10-11 the day after our “Mini” Snow Storm. I played my new song “New York & Light” and the cover I did of “Silent Night” on the CD player as accompaniment. I haven’t made enough HD videos with my iPhone4 so I wanted to start. Then I started playing with iMovie and there’s some fun things you can do in there. So it’s mostly just play and experimentation, but you might find the scenery pretty. Hope you enjoy the song too!

  • New Song: “New York & Light”

    New York and Light (iPhone/iPad Link) You can download the song if you right click on the link and choose “Save” or “Save As,” and it will download the MP3 file.

    So I took the little poem I wrote a couple post’s back “New York & Light” and made it into a song. I had this tune I was working on at the same time, so I applied the words to it. I added a couple more paragraphs for a second verse.

    Lyrics:

    New York and Light
    East Egg above
    They dance all night
    The Jitterbug.

    Their dreams play notes
    Her favorite song
    Love lines he wrote
    She danced along

    Chorus:

    With eyes like that
    That guy could sing
    She floats him back
    Across the sea.

    The city’s moon
    It strums their tune.

    Verse 2

    Long Island Sound
    This is the place
    It’s where she’s found
    Stars light her face.

    There’s something there.
    Behind her eyes.
    Inside her stare
    A thousand and one nights.

  • Silent Night

    I did a cover version of “Silent Night” with my guitar and Apple Logic. Merry Christmas!

  • New Song: “Union Street (Hold On)”

    Union Street (Hold On) by spickeringlr
    Felt like being sparse with this one. No loops or click track. Just me playing and singing at the same time. Through in a harmonica overdub, but at least its me playing it and not a loop. Rather Dylanesque. I like it.

  • New Song: “The Cinnamon Line”

    Kind of a “Cosmic” Country number. I got that word from Daniel Tashian. I’m nowhere near as good as him, but I hope you enjoy! You can download it free to your computer with that little download arrow on the player. If you enjoy please re-share, “like” this page, or “re-tweet” or all three! To help me get a little exposure. Thank you!
