who are the jerkoffs who apparently have no appreciation for art of any medium? tell them to step up, i’d like to see what they have to offer the world besides a douchebag perspective. sorry guys, there’s already a few million more of those than we need.

About the music

The music contains no instruments- everything you hear was made using only my voice and basic effects/editing techniques. Each song contains anywhere between 30-50 layers of vocals and take as many hours to complete over several months. I worked on many songs at once as inspiration struck and time allowed.

The goal was to complete the entire catalog of original Smiths songs by the end of 2010. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life and I am thrilled to say that I completed my goal- ahead of schedule! This would have been a daunting project just for the music alone, but I was also fitting the music time in around parenting, working, commuting, etc. It was a true labor of love to give up every ounce of free time for a year but it was the best thing I’ve ever done. Thank you for visiting my personal tribute to The Smiths and for cheering me on.

…and because Bean asked, it’s very costly to purchase the rights to sell other people’s music. It also cost me every ounce of my time over the year. Check it out before you knock it, kind sir!
