The songwriting game

My pal Bob Schneider has an e-mail game he plays where someone throws out a title and then you write a song using the title. It doesn't have to be the actual title of the song but it does have to be in there somewhere. Jason Mraz played the game for awhile.

Bob just started doing it again and I told him I wanted in.

I thought it meant I'd be writing a song a week.

In actuality, it's two songs a week.

I normally write about twenty songs a year.

Now I'm writing what amounts to 100 songs a year so the Miles Zuniga box set will be out soon.

I'm thinking of posting some of the songs somewhere so you can have a listen.

Any suggestions on the best site?

Does Blogger have a place to put MP3's?

Salut,

MILES

Fastball on Daytrotter

A while Fastball did a session for Daytrotter. The sessions are recorded at this little studio in Rock Island Illinois (home of Cheap Trick).

The sessions are recorded live.

They typically feature indie bands like Grizzly Bear, Spoon, Deerhunter etc. but they also have legends like Kris Kristofferson and Carly Simon.

We are honored to be in such prestigious company.

You can listen to the sessions here:
