Great album! Been a while since I've pulled it out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Campfire Songs Just 4 friends (who have never met in person), sharing and talking about obscure songs that they love. Basically, music geek heaven.

#MusicSky
This #podcast is just 4 music geeks sitting around listening to obscure music and chatting about the songs and... whatever.
We have a lot of fun, and it seems like folks enjoy listening.
We've had a few guests, too. Including a couple (kinda) famous folks

Ashes on the Water, by Hop On Pop from the album As Drawn by Ethan, Age 2

#MusicSky
My band's first album was the only one with a stable lineup. It was my first time producing, and for the most part, I am not happy with how it came out. This song was an exception. Came out better than I had hoped.

Say You Will (A Reluctant Soldier's Plea), by Hop On Pop from the album Chicken On a Bicycle

#IranWar
I wrote this #protestsong from the p.o.v. of a soldier saying goodbye to his family as they go to fight a war that they oppose.
Please listen, think about the people caught in the middle, and share. Recorded to sound like a first-take bedroom demo.

Sheila of the Worms, by Hop On Pop from the album Chicken On a Bicycle

It baffles me, but this seems to be one of my most popular songs. I get that it's catchy and kinda fun in a Robyn Hitchcock meets Jonathan Richman way. But, still leaves me a little cold, personally.
Still, I'm happy if you even HAVE a favorite song of mine!

Say You Will (Hop On Pop)

The full story behind the song and an exploration of its writing at this link. It's a podcast about songwriting.

Say You Will (A Reluctant Soldier's Plea)

I hope you'll consider this song of mine: open.spotify.com/track/6IoZEA...
Protest/political/anti-war. May not be what you are looking for, but I thought I would throw my hat into the ring.

I fit the bill.

Seeing @willoldham.bsky.social in a couple of weeks.
Listening to the new one in prep.

Favorite? That's a mood thing.
But "Home Base" is 80s and 90s indie rock.

If You Knew, by Hop On Pop from the album One By One

This song. A ballad that is about the closest thing to an anthem that I've written.

Tortured Artist, by Hop On Pop from the album Chicken On a Bicycle

#MusicSky
I wrote a song called "Tortured Artist" a little while ago. It's on the second Hop on Pop record and I think it's kinda fun. Especially the last little bit, which makes me giggle.
It's fun to be clever.

Spinning, Standing Still, by Hop On Pop from the album One By One

#MusicSky
Today's song of the day. Maybe I tried to do too much with the production/arrangement? I still think it's one of my better compositions - I mean, 9-TRACK GUITAR HARMONY!
