Holy crap. I knew nothing of this guy till DropD-mb did a cover and i decided to try to download some of his stuff. now i think he's awesome. he's the kind of music i love, a man and his guitar stuff. anyway, i'm looking for the 41 cover on e-mule, but i can't find it. can anyone help?

if you ever get the chance to see him live ...or there's a video clip online somewhere....check out him doing his song "ghost". he does a one man band thing where he'll beat a drum beat on his guitar and continously loop it...then he'll play a couple of small fills and loop that...the he'll start playing and singing....and before you know it...he'll pretty much have a full song going complete with bass, rhythm (sp?), fills and vocals. there's even a point where he'll stop playing while everything is still looping and he'll do a little bass solo in some of his performances. it's pretty cool to watch....basically building a full studio song from scratch.

i've also seen him take all those loops he just did for ghost...change the tempo....and make a new song out of it.....scratch some of the loops like a dj would do too. i had a copy of that #41 cover...let me see if i can find it for you. also if you like that type of music...the singer/songwriter style...check out matt nathanson and shane nicholson...

He does that on a good number of his songs. Ghost is a great example, though.

a few years ago...i was bored at home flipping throught he channels and came across a news station. they were doing some kind of artist spotlight segment and a life performance in studio. it turned out to be howie day. i never heard of him and they were talking about his work. so he sang "she says" and another song ( i missed the first song)...and thot...man this kid is good. he didn't do the looping thing or i missed it on tv. they talked about it a bit...so i figured he was just adding background work or something ....nothing too elaborate..... i go to his web site to see if he's coming to town sometime soon. it turned out the following week he was playing at the virgin mega store in sf so i took the rest of the day off from work to go see him play. that was the first time i saw him do the looping stuff and my jaw just dropped....became an instant fan since. i just thot how it's kinda funny how you can stumble across great stuff sometimes...and in my case...just flipping through the channels watching the news...hahahaha

Go to one of his concerts and request it.

He'd be glad to play it for you.
