“Heart Of Glass” by Erika Lloyd & Cameron Mizell

A few weeks ago we took a day trip out of the city to pick apples and drink wine in Warwick, NY.  Erika took brought her video camera and talked me into doing some air guitar.  We had a great time goofing off, generally not taking ourselves too seriously (which I do too often), and then Erika put together this awesome video.  Enjoy!

“Alabama Song” by Erika Lloyd & Cameron Mizell

Rolling with the cover song theme for the day, here’s a track from Pour A Little Everything Else. Written by Kurt Weill (music) & Bertolt Brecht (words) in 1927, used in their opera Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mohagany, and recorded 40 years later by The Doors. 42 years after that, Erika and I recorded it.

Sans organ, I was trying to create a weird string band sound, as if it comes from a different place, but you can’t exactly figure out if it’s Eastern European or Mexican or something entirely different.

We use Jim Morrison’s lyrics in the second verse because we thought changing “show me the way to the next little girl” to “show me the way to the next little boy” might be a little creepy/pretentious. However, after finishing the album we learned that in Kurt Weill’s opera, the song was song by a group of prostitutes and the lyric is “show me the way to the next pretty boy.” Would have been a nice touch, but we were far beyond redoing any vocals.

“Fool On The Hill” by Erika Lloyd

From Pour A Little Everything Else. Erika wanted to do a track of all vocal, and she knocked this one out of the park. There’s no autotune or copy and pasting. She sang each part all the way through.
