Greetings,  Here are a few things going on in Dave's world of music.

1. I am releasing a new single called The Kettle and the Flame on 15 September 2023 to all streaming services (This Friday!).
2. My latest album called Captured…

Theme: songs that in some way deal with, or reference a crime or any of its components.

“Guilty” by Gravity Kills: Hearing Nine Inch Nails all over this one and that is a good thing. Powerful, tight kick and bass…

"When all the noise quietens, the moment I know a show is really working is when I feel that the song is singing me, rather than me singing the song.That's a great night.On a really great night you are the…

I have a brand new single scheduled for release on or around 15 SEP 23 if all goes well. 

 I almost put this song on my latest new album Captured Fragments but chose not to.  I held back because I…

used in a sentence: "My ikigai? It's like a catchy 'I-key-guy' tune, guiding me through life's hilarious playlist!" 

The philosopher Nietzshe wrote that for anything great to take place in your life, there has to be “long obedience in the same direction.”

Sunny Came Home: Shawn Colvin

This is such a well produced song.  The acoustic instruments, slow almost "happy" chords set against such somber, fiery lyrics really work well together.

Jailbait Song by Motörhead:  May have hit the spot for me…

  Wow, I remember this classic album from David Husted called Captured Fragments!!! It was released way back in August of 2023.  That was a good year and that album was a big part of the reason why……it kicked ass!!  I…

What is new with You? I hope all is well.

If you are feeling TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read) today, here is the point of this particular Blog in one line.

I have a new album called Captured Fragments scheduled…

“The Spine Surfs Alone” by They Might Be Giants: Led Zeppelin vibe and such fun goofy lyrics…….the song ended and I thought my internet glitched…only 1:19 long….short, sweet and well done….digging that guitar riff midway through too. Sunburn and sore…

“ …just do the work, go to the interview, see those first clients, you know for Dorothy, just keep going down that yellow brick road, feel the feelings, feel the fear, feel your inadequacy and Do-It-Anyway. Just keep going and…

 Unveiling "Captured Fragments"!  Brace your senses for a sonic journey  

“Tyson vs Douglas” by The Killers: 

Had a similar response on this song as I felt listening to the Fountains of Wayne song "All kind's of time"; just a really good sounding song that hit the spot for me.  Lots…

“Camptown Races” by Johnny Cash

This must have been played fairly often in my childhood (school, kid shows?) because it is so familiar. Like an old children’s rhyme or story. The repetitive doo dahs have a way of sticking in…

There is really nothing you must be
And there is nothing you must do
There is really nothing you must have
And there is nothing you must know
There is really nothing you must become
However.  It helps to understand…

Hey Friends,

Hope this message finds you well! 🎶

I have some super exciting news to share: my new album, Captured Fragments, is finally ready to unleash its sonic awesomeness upon the world! 🚀 To celebrate this electrifying moment, I've…

“Faster” by George Harrison: That pitch bend acoustic twang has a signature Harrison vibe (Clapton?). Judging from the almost 30 second race car lead in (I suspect this would have been reduced to about 5 seconds in today’s music) we…

We think we can congratulate ourselves on having already reached such a pinnacle of clarity, imagining that we have left all these phantasmal gods far behind. But what we have left behind are only verbal specters, not the psychic facts…

Extra, Extra, Read all about it!

New Album Release: 18 August 2023.  Yes!

“Dave's new album Captured Fragments is rumored to feature a nonet of beautifully arranged songs, each one showcasing his versatility as a songwriter and capturing a different…

“When we sample, we learn that what gives a sound its meaning is not its source, but its place in the sequence – not content, but context.”

“Hit Somebody (Hockey Song)” by Warren Zevon: A hockey goon. "Hit somebody".  This was chuckle worthy for sure in a sad sort of way being they actually did seek players like this in the 70's.  Broad Street Bullies come to…

“All Kinds Of Time” by Fountains of Wayne :This was a great find.  The song sounds so good. Nothing fancy, just a well put together composition. Love it.  Taking the vocals just out of reach of his range was…

I remember the guitar rhythm borrowed heavily from a Stones pattern. See if you can guess which one when the song is released. Songwriting and production have enabled me to meet, interact and network with so many music loving folks…
