Artist Lounge: Me and the horse I rode in on

I had to get ready for a show tomorrow. I sat down and recorded some of the songs I haven't played for a long time. Had a song that's been sitting there for a year...........just couldn't figure out how to end it. I wrote the ending this morning. Shameless self-promotion.........I guess. The song is called Progress. I think some of you have heard the previous version before........but now it's done and I'm posting the demo here. Weekend is getting closer. Have a go... MORE
I haven't posted any Coachella stories. Think the rest of the guys has done one hell of a job reporting everything that went down.Bottom line.............I wish you had all been there. On our drive from LA to Indio I had suggested that we'd all make a 3-song CD.......no rules.......just perfect songs for a drive to the desert. Everybody did good but one song really got to me. Weight of Lies by The Avett Brothers. I can't shake that one off me. Not trying very hard ei... MORE
Hi
Been a long time since I've been recording a song. Today I recorded a demo.
Just me and my son's tiny guitar hiding out in the attic. It's kinda cold up here............but it's where I like to be.
This song is for those who feel guilty for not being elsewhere........even though this is where they like to be.
Are you one of those people complaining about mp3's being compressed music with no real value? Then this is for you. Wav-files........289MB......HERE!!! MATHIRIO - Ghost Hospital EP_wav_289MB I posted the mp3-link in my previous post so don't start downloading these 289MB unless you really mean it. The RAR-file is only 177MB but it's still a big download. People suffering from hearing loss..........like myself........................they won't be able to tell the d... MORE
Hi Looks like I'm ready to start sharing this one. Here's a link to those of you who haven't downloaded my EP. I also posted the URL that will lead other people to the free download. If you like the songs........................please share. Post the link on blogs, send it to friends..............do whatever you feel like. My only wish is to see those songs travel and hopefully give me the possibility to follow them myself. Get the EP here: MATHIRIO - Ghost Hospital ... MORE
Last year I wrote this december song. Got nothing to do with christmas......nothing at all.
It's been some time since I last posted about something other than my own music. Sorry about that. I need to get back at the MOG table.
If you wanna download the song as well you can find it here:

To you this might be just another day but to me this is one fine and very special day. My EP has finally been mixed and mastered. I've been waiting for this! Ghost Hospital contains 7 songs. They were all written and recorded last year in a tiny room on a tiny farm in a tiny town. These are the first songs I've ever written. "Things Don't Matter" is actually the first one and then things went from there. I recorded everything on my laptop using my little m-box and protoo... MORE
Blair is not all gone.
Blair just sent me a video he made for the song "Girls Who Make Mixtapes". This makes me really happy. Thanks Blair!!!!!!!!!
I am looking for a partner/partners in crime. I am looking for someone who wants to make music with me. Someone who wants to work on my songs. Help me take them to other levels. Someone who likes what I do and wants to make this kind of music. Someone who thinks that it would be a lot of fun. You can be anywhere in the world. Doesn’t matter. As long as you’re in this for the love of music. Listen to some of my songs at www.myspace.com/meandthehorse. Send me some of you... MORE
Hello friends of this dirty neighborhood. I posted a demo a few weeks ago and now I believe the song is done. As I mentioned the last time this song was inspired by a fellow mogger who wrote about The Cure and how many times she'd used this specific song for a mixtape. A week went and while painting my bedroom this song was written. Some has told me that they find the song sad. It's not. It's supposed to make you feel good.......well basically it's supposed to make m... MORE
Hello dear moggers. Sometimes I tell myself. WAIT!!! Wait until it's done. Wait until the time is right...............but dear friends. I ask you this..............what's the point of demos if they're just sitting there? Months ago I read a post including a Cure video. I think my fellow mogger wrote "I can't tell you how many times I've added this song to a mixtape". That kinda got me started on what ended up being a song I call "Girls Who Make Mixtapes". Again......... MORE
I might have posted this piece before but earlier tonight I heard a story that made me decide to repost.........'cause this piece called "Lights Out" is for him. I didn't know until now......but it can only be for him.
"A last gesture of love, in the face of insanity/irrationality, was to build a cement seawall for his wife".
This breaks my heart.
Seawall-builder! May you rest in peace.
Since I've been doing several posts on Kristofer Åström I thought I might just keep on doing so.
This is a bit different though. I covered one of his songs some time ago. I haven't shared it with anyone. It was only meant for him. I am pretty sure he won't object to this.......who cares anyway. The sucker just have to get back on MOG to stop me.
I'm posting his version as a comment just to let you hear how the real deal sounds.
Canada plays an important role in my escape plan!
I wrote a song about that last year not knowing that certain people in Canada would end up making my life better. These certain people manage to do that every single day.
The other day I thought about getting my EP mastered.....and I ended up asking a guy from Canada. It just seemed right.
It's a strange feeling being here thinking that my perfect home is all the way over there.
