Hi Friends,
I pulled together a collection of unreleased songs - 'misfits.' - exclusively for bandcamp Friday.
Some of them were written for various albums but never made the final track list, there's a cover song I recorded to be used in a movie that didn't take it and a failed TV theme song I pitched but struck out. I found something good in every one of these misfit songs, I hope you do too!
Thanks so much for your continued support. I have more new music coming next month, a new merch store (hats, Ts, water bottles!) opening soon and an announcement for the release of 'Hello Blue Monday' to your favourite streaming service this month!

'Hello Blue Monday', a re-imagining of my 2007 album 'Goodbye Blue Monday' is out now exclusively on bandcamp.
This recording really came about on a whim. I did a livestream on January 18 (Blue Monday) with my ukulele and a couple drum machines. My idea was to play a few songs and talk about the making of the record, just for fun.
I recorded the audio, and when I went back to listen there was something really fun about the versions I came up with right there on the spot. I was fuelled by the energy and enthusiasm of everyone who tuned in and decided to make a record out of it, and bring you along for the ride.
I did the whole thing in about 2 weeks. I sent the (very) rough demos to my friends Phil and Petr who recorded percussion and woodwinds at their home studios. They emailed me back the tracks and I put down bass, vocals, more ukulele and some nylon string guitar. There's also a kazoo solo, which was suggested by my 4 year old.
I really just went with whatever, it was good fun. I hope you enjoy this collection. I'm releasing it exclusively on bandcamp today, Friday Feb 5, because it is 'bandcamp Friday', which means they waive their fees so all the proceeds go directly to the artist. Very nice of them.
Thank you very much for the support. Now I must sleep a little and dream about the next thing I'm going to make.
Love,
Jeremy
