IRIS/googoodolls

This is my own arrangement, a combination of strumming and finger-picking. I play a lot of solo gigs and playing the exact arrangement from the recording is sometimes not full enough for one guitar, also they usually overdub several guitars, so my arrangements attempt to combine all the important elements so the song rings familiar. I also try to incorporate chords that work well with the melody line and add some color and my personal style. Here’s my rendition of Googoodolls “Iris”, something I first worked up a few years ago with my full band, then adapted it for solo.

Seven states now considering lowering the drinking age.

You can watch the stodgy video with crotchety MADD mothers inveighing against the evils of demon rum and waving statistics claiming that lowering the drinking age leads to more deaths from alcohol related driving deaths. And youth drinking advocates drunkenly asserting that yeah, the MADD mothers had a point, but on the other hand, fuck you. Underage girls drinking cannot be a bad thing.

Liz Phair/Liz Phair chord charts

This week docweasel.com second feature in the Music section; our own original versions of chord charts and tablatures for popular bands and solo artists songs (popular=ones we like) transcribed by our own staff.

We began our series with Aimee Mann Complete, and follow up with an album partially produced by her husband, Michael Penn, who probably helped make this the most advanced and accessable Liz Phair LP to date, the eponymous Liz Phair CD.

Contact doc to request future featured artists.
