  • Free mp3 Download: My Song “Through The Night”

    Link to file on this server:

    I think the production quality on this one is good enough to enjoy on your mp3 player, so I felt like encouraging people to download it if they like it. I hope you do! There’s a few things I want to work on with the track in the future, add some strings, lengthen the intro (I cut it very short because this song was originally submitted to an in flight radio service that required it) and patch the vocals in a couple spots. When I do that I’ll let you know so you can download the latest version. This is better than a beta, so I’ll call it version 1.o.

    Love to hear your feedback, positive or critical. Leave a comment! 🙂

  • First Iphone Video

    OK, I should have had the camera in landscape mode instead of portrait. That’s why its the first. Live and learn.

  • It Looks Like Love

    Field recording cover of a Josh Rouse song, It Looks Like Love, off his album Subtitulo.
    Oh wow, now that I listen to it, its pretty rough. I think I used a webcam mic. Maybe I shouldn’t have posted it (vanity!), but what the hey, it’s quaint.

  • Brand New Josh Rouse Song Never Heard Before “Cotton-Eye Joe”

    Here’s a brand new Josh Rouse song, coming on his new album (don’t know the title) called “Cotton-Eye Joe”

    UPDATE: 6-23-09 This MP3 is fine quality now. All I had to do is open the whole podcast into Audacity and then edit out everything but this song. DUH!!!!!!!

    I apologize for the poor sound quality. I recorded it on Audacity from his latest podcast, and it only gave me the choice to record from “internal microphone” instead of straight from the soundcard, so there’s a lot of hiss and tinny sound from a computer mic. I thought Audacity gave you the option of recording from the soundcard? And for that matter why doesn’t Garage Band?

    OK, this is a “boot-leg” so if Josh or any of his management don’t like it, they can just notify me and I’ll take it down, but I thought it was so great! I’m definitely buying the album, as I have all of his, and I hope everyone else does too! Much luck, Josh!
