My songs - I Want You (But I Don't Want to Ruin Everything)
While I've got the programs to start recording music (thanks Jesse!) I still need a mic. Thankfully I do have one recording of me that I can post. I've been playing the open mic nights at The Hotel Utah Saloon and J.J., the mastermind of the event, was kind enough to send an mp3 of my performance from two weeks ago. The mp3 probably still won't show up on the RSS feed (EDIT: nope, it works now!) but on the actual blog you can download it.
Ian Brill - "I Want You (But I Don't Want to Ruin Everything)"
I play this song a lot because I've memorized all the words for it (more or less). I set out to write a catchy song with a big guitar hook, something like "Satisfaction" or "Breaking the Law" where you identify that melody from the guitar line immediately (so why do I have this slow intro? Ah, nevermind). The song sounds very "pop" (as much as a dude with a gloomy voice and an acoustic guitar can sound pop) and doesn't have much of a blues rock sound as the other songs you'll hear. If this was the Stones, the biggest touchstone for my music, this would definitely be a "Mick song," not a "Keith song." Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Not bad at all. You voice is wavering a little but that'll improve with time.
Nice little riff.
