Artist Bio

Influences: Not while driving or operating heavy machinery.

2019 is my 4th go at this FAWM thing. I was proud of my output last year, but upon revisiting the material, it really was quite a depressing bunch of tunes. Gonna try for some lighter fare this year, but we'll see what happens...

Gear: a guitar and a cellphone

Thanks for listening to Vanity Project. It was a lonely zong for sooooo long.
@tamsnumber4 Mar 14

Thanks for commenting on my collab song "Hope Beyond Hope", I appreciate the listen!!
@dreamscuba Mar 11

Thank you for your comments on "Wanktastic"...much appreciated.
@infilktion Mar 11

Char says it doesn't ruin the mystique and recommends reading "The Slow Regard of Silent Things ".
@mikeb Mar 8

Thanks for the listen and comment on '24 Hours to Midnight' - I'm now trying to figure out how to do a full production of it.
@infilktion Mar 7

Thank you for your comments on "You"! As to your question about "The Slow Regard of Silent Things". It was a good book. I will have to ask Char to weigh in on what is does regarding the main novels (as I have yet to read them - she asked me to read the novella so that we could work on songs about it - so that is where I started).
@donna Mar 6

Thank you for your comment on 'I Dreamed I Was A Little Boat'. 😀
@bethdesombre Mar 6

Wow -- thanks for listening to, and commenting on, so many songs. I'll have to get back to the ones of yours I missed. But, yeah -- I had an especially great FAWM this year; hope you did too.
@msculli1 Mar 6

Thanks for the comment on Stop The World... much appreciated.
Cheers
@majordanby Mar 6

Thanks for all the nice comments. It’s been a tough year in terms of listening to all the good music produced. Definitely still catching up.

I have a secret to tell; I’ve never owned or listened to the Bends, or Radiohead for that matter. Dan is a huge fan and we’ve been discussing their writing and Thom’s singing style. I have been experimenting writing in their style and listening to their music. Still not listened to the Bends though.

Any way thank you for the huge praise. Most appreciated.
@coolparadiso Mar 6

i didnt play the trombone on that although it is real trombone. i can play a little but not good enough for that yet.
@audrey Mar 5

Nah, you didn't come off as a pretentious jerk at all. I'd rather be able to correct stuff like that than perpetuate the misconception. I've learned something today. Thank you. 😀
@audrey Mar 5

Thanks for your kind words on my song Earthrise. And thanks for educating me too. I did not know that from the surface of the moon, the earth neither rises or sets. I guess it just happened for those Apollo 8 astronauts because they were orbiting the moon. I first thought that was the moon landing mission, but that one was Apollo 11. Sorry I didn't have my facts straight. I'll go edit my page now, even if it is a bit late since FAWM ended. (How embarrassing) 😀
@mikegtz Mar 3

Coming to the FAWM over party in Somerville? I'm coming from Uxbridge and I could drift over your way if you need a ride. It will be next Sunday 3/10 at 2pm. oh, and thanks for the nice words on Cadillac Dreams. I'm kind of happy how that one turned out.
@tamsnumber4 Mar 3

Thanks for listening and commenting on my collab "Since We First Touched" I appreciate it!
@infilktion Mar 2

"Is it wrong that the absolutely brutal imagery you use here really makes me want to read these books?" Nope.
It was fun contrasting the princesses. Thank you for the comment! I look forward to catching up on listening now. -Natalie
@estheraleida Mar 1

Thanks for your comment on 'high dive jump'! Appreciate it 😀
@mmmmarcus Mar 1

Thanks for all the support man! And it's another Jens Johansson, not the keyboard player 😁
@mikeb Feb 27

Thanks for the listen and comment on 'Into the Vortex'.
@susancantey Feb 22

Thanks for all the nice comments! Off to listen to a few of yours now...
@repsurepa Feb 21

Hi! Thank you for your comments on 1984/1985! Yup, the prequel thought is really good!
@stevenwesleyguiles Feb 21

You're too kind...and I hope you dreams of losing to the best come true...but I think you meant @sapient. 😀
@jwhanberry Feb 20
@hjwmg2 Feb 20

Hey! Third year since I’ve warch listed you, and I’m never disappointed! Thank you for your comment!
@sunnymae Feb 18

Hey Driftwood thanks for dropping by and leaving your cool comments on Run Baby Run. Swagger eh? I like that!!
@kahlo2013 Feb 18

Thanks for your comment! I need to catch up with your work!
@raygungirls Feb 16

Thanks for checking out so many of my songs and glad you like 'em! Wish I could play my acoustic the way you play yours!
@bamsekarhu Feb 16

Thanks for the comment on my acoustic death 😀
@rustyp Feb 16

Hey DW1,
Thanks for listening and commenting on my song "Minor Inconvenience."

Yeah, I totally understand. The truth is that I couldn't afford one either. If it hadn't been for a chance meeting and extreme generosity, I'd still be imagining myself having one.

It's a very rhythmic and loop based instrument, at least in my hands. I've played a lot of percussion and so I've been getting acquainted with it pretty well. 😀
@mmmmarcus Feb 11

Thank you so much for the comment on Carry Me Home!
@stevenwesleyguiles Feb 10

LOL. Thanks for the love of my title.
I was trying to think of the most metal title I could, but also something that would end up on a Spinal Tap Album.
@bethdesombre Feb 9

Thanks! Yeah, my February has started well. Listen to others, though, Pilgrim is not one of the keepers . . .
@downfallroad Feb 7

\m/ fuck yeah metal!
@cherok40 Feb 7

Thank you for your nice comments. Much appreciated!
@faststrings Feb 6

Hey Driftwood1, thanks for the comment on my song I appreciate it.
@bjunker Feb 5

Good to be back! Love your "ghosts" song.
@woolford Feb 4

Hi man. Thanks for your compliments on my delivery of “Reminds me of you”. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What a bloody lovely experience it is being here with all these supportive people! 😀
@pokerowan Feb 3

Thanks for the observations and kind words on 'Nameless One'! I'm glad you liked the contrast 😀
@audrey Feb 3

Thank you for listening and commenting on Something Wicked this Way Comes. It's appreciated.
@mishykatz Feb 3

Thank you for that story, Love it! <3

The synth is a virtual synth, played via a MIDI keyboard controller.
@enigma4711 Jan 30

Happy FAWM! 😀
@thelostcartographer Jan 26

I see you took the cheap bottle of whiskey out of the gear list this year
@nuj4x Jan 24
@marthie Jan 22
