Loners Society

—Plastic Jesus

Another one from the vaults.  Here is a cover of “Plastic Jesus” from around 2007.

Loners Society

—Everyday (Buddy Holly cover)

Loners Society covers Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” from 2010.

“I recorded this demo when the idea of Loners Society was still in its infancy, and I recorded it just because I loved the song.  Obviously we have gone a somewhat different direction since the recording of this demo, but in the earlier days, the concept of Loners Society was to definitely more dream-pop.  I think this cover was intended to be the template.”

-Matt Megrue (Loners Society)

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter: ‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.  I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?” My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.” Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks ‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’ It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.

Night 1 with my new GFI.  This is supposed to be the intro for The Byrds’ “Hickory Wind”.

Been saying I was going to do it for the last 5 years.  Tonight I finally pulled the trigger on a GFI U-12 pedal steel guitar!

Matt Megrue from Loners Society drops by The Music Initiative’s “Eclectic Evenings” for a solo, acoustic set.  Check him out performing “LaGrange” (an unreleased new song) and “Jersey Devil” (album version here).

I think we could make a pretty sweet Kiss cover band…that is, if we desired to perpetuate the musical atrocity that is Kiss (ok, I admit I do crank “Lovegun” when no one’s around).
