One of My Kind by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Studio version.
The new Conor Oberst record just upsets me.
I love him to bits but how underwhelming! I Got the Reason #1 is just I Got the reason #2 (track names!). And White Shoes (Reprise) is just Conor Oberst rehashing “Anything you wanna do” over a real nice instrumental section.
One of my Kind is good however, easily worth the wait. Just glad I didn’t get this album on vinyl.
George Gadd - When I Come Around (Green Day Cover)
I decided to do another cover as a follow up to yesterday’s ‘Dammit’ video. Again, go in with an open mind. I’m not going to cover the original song. Thank you so much for the absolutely wonderful feedback. It really fills me with some happy thoughts. :)
The People’s Key came out a year ago…
That thought is just so weird for me. So much has changed in that short space of time.
I like to reflect on my life in a series of anniversaries, much like birthdays but at different landmarks in my life.
It’s just awfully weird thinking that, when that record came out, I was pretty much a nobody and people thought I was just this guy who was going to fuck up with the whole music thing and thought of me as talentless and wouldn’t let me play shows when I asked. It’s just ironic that now i’m getting booked for gigs mostly without consent.
Also, it’s weird that i’ve seen Bright Eyes live alongside so many absolutely amazing bands including Bon Iver, Laura Marling and Manchester Orchestra and the fact that i’ve made some friends of my own through music.
And the writing thing just encourages me as i’ve started to write a bit more after my little dry spell last month for local publications.
Happy birthday Conor. At 32, you are still twice as young as me.
Bright Eyes - Beginners Mind (Live)
“Hold on tight”
The best song of the decade (so far!)

George Gadd - Everything, Up in Smoke
Kingdom of the vast landscapes of the internet. I apologise in advance for desecrating your dashboard with such filth.
I recently did an acoustic session for Croft Sessions and this is the second video to be taken from it. It’s one of my own songs called “Everything, Up In Smoke”. If you could please share this in any way possible if you like this then that would mean an awful lot to me.

Sorry Again!
