More Mundane Meanderings.

Well, I was never really a rock star. I was in a band, Blue Nova, for a short while around in 1996. In honor of our tenth anniversary, I'm rereleasing our one and only album, Songs from the Groove. Don't feel a need to listen to any of it, but my favorites in random order are Scared (both regular and club mix), Tie Dye, Taking Over the World, Shoelaces, and In My Room.

I played guitar. The rest of the band was Andy Minton on guitar, keyboards, and vocals, Albert Christy on vocals, Aaron Bjork on bass, and Tony Marra on drums. We practiced in a barn on a friend's farm.

This album was recorded on one long night in my church's basement, on a single-track cassette karaoke machine with one microphone for vocals and another for all of the instrumental stuff. I later transferred the songs from the cassette to my shiny, new Pentium 75 Packard Bell and cleaned them up as much as I knew how using Cool Edit. Given our poor equipment, our non-existent sound engineering know-how, and our general lack of talent, the songs turned out to be not too bad.

Without further ado, here is Blue Nova's Songs from the Groove:
