Here you will find an audio play list of music samples Rev created alone at home over the last 30 years. Rev performed all parts in these tunes. Many were recorded using very primitive means.There are crates full of Bargain Basement tunes and riffs and the online offerings here will continue to grow with the oldest recordings being held for last.
B. B. Wolfbaby
Written in 1999, this song was the first of many to be recorded on an old PIII E-Machine using nothing but the PC keyboard, mouse, plastic PC mic and a guitar.
Strange Things
Written in 1999, this tune was recorded in the same month and manner as B. B. Wolfbaby, but many years later, drums and bass were re-recorded.
The Ride
The music for this song was recorded in 1999 on the old E-Machine, but the lyrics were not fully inspired until 2001. The song was released in '01.
PDFTD
Demon Air
This song was released in '01. It found its way around. Bonus Track: Audio sample from the "No Pigeon Holes" radio show that featured PDFTD. It was also featured on the NPH CD.
Nutatu
Recorded in 2006 on an analog 8-track magnetic tape recorder. Analog recording offers a warm, rich, realistic sound.
Babbling Brook Whispering Forest
Recorded in 2006 on the analog 8-track, this tune came completely off the cuff. It was the first thing recorded on the new analog 8-track and was only meant to be a test.
One String
This song was literally recorded using only a single, rusty G string. There were no other strings on the old, beat-up 1980 Guild M-80 24-fret guitar.
Brittany's Guitar
Recorded in 1999, this little tune was written for a ten year old girl and played using her toy guitar.
Erin
In 1998, when asked by a woman what tune came to mind when thinking of her, this is what came out.
Sexy
Recorded on the PIII in 2001 for a certain very sexy woman. Played on a 1957 Kay guitar that was set up for lap slide.
Road Rage
A short sample of an unreleased tune about road rage. It was originally called "Pissed," but offering a piss sample didn't seem right.
Movie Producer
Rev and his old Bargain Basement tunes attracted an eclectic array of interests over the years.
Nice But...
1998, it all takes place in a man's mind in the time it takes a flaunting woman to walk by. Ya, it's all horny Muppets and howling wolves up in there, ladies.
Guitars
Two guitars quickly recorded in 2001 to use as test audio for the new video editing equipment that was added to Rev's studio gear.
