Shannon<\/a> over at Loaded Learning asked for a copy for her iPod<\/a>, so here it is: a hi-res newly mastered mp3 of my one brief shining moment of low-level metro pop radio accomplishment: “My Favorite Town.”<\/p>\n

Hard to believe it’s been two years since I first posted the tune<\/a>. A lifetime ago in many respects.<\/p>\n

For the truly insomniac:
\nI’m doing everything here except playing the drums. As Pete Townshend once put it, in a far more awesome context, a gynormous ego trip. I wrote and recorded the tune in 1990 on a Portastudio 244 in a spare bedroom in St. Johns Wood, Richmond. Drum machine: Alesis HR-16. Bass: 1972 Fender Jazz. Guitar: mid-80’s Fender Strat through various effects boxes. All instruments recorded directly through the mixing board (sounds that way, too). Vocals recorded through a Shure SM-57. Primary effects box: an Alesis Quadraverb. Also used: Alesis Microlimiter. 2007 Remastering in Sound Forge 8.<\/p>\n

One day I should go back to the original multitracks to remaster the thing properly instead of continuing to tweak the version that came off the radio–that is, if the original 4-track cassette and the machine I recorded it on haven’t turned to dust.<\/p>\n
