BIO:

** Permission is granted to play any of my songs on radio or podcasts, etc. **
*** Further permission is granted to cover, crucio, morph, sample, etc. any of my songs. ***
** Basically, give me credit, let me know and pay me if and when the money starts rolling in. **

I sing and first learned to play guitar so I could write my own songs. More than 25 years down the road, I'm still at it. 2011 is my third 50/90.

Recordings through the years can be found here:
http://www.theplaintoast.com/records.html

My facebook fan page is: https://www.facebook.com/plainwhitetoast

I perform with the insurgent north country band, 40 Rod Lightning (www.40RL.com). Together with 8string and blumenkraft, we have 60% of the band on 50/90.

I plan to get as close to fifty as possible and to do more if I can. I hope to do some collaborations and song skirmishes. I will likely write a number of rocking country tunes geared toward 40 Rod. I also want to write some rock/punk/grunge kind of songs on my own and maybe do vocals for some collaborative metal songs.

If anyone wants to collaborate on something, give a shout! I can often use lyrics, female vocals, bass, drums, lead guitar, fiddle, piano and sometimes glockenspiel. I'll consider just about any other instruments, except harmonica (I don't have anything against the harmonica, and I'd like to keep it that way). I can put music to lyrics, lyrics to music or just sing on something.

In 2009 and 2010, I ended up posting a fair number of partial songs or acoustic guitar instrumentals. My goal this year is to post completed songs, the exception being where I am looking for collaborators on one or two songs. In the past I'd make fifty, but I couldn't count them all. I came closer last year than the year prior. This year, I want to be able to say that I wrote and collaborated on a total of fifty songs (or more) and then be able to back that up with demos. i.e. my first "real" win. This year's FAWM was my first real win too. In past years I have crossed the line, but I had to walk the last bit of the way. This year, I run the whole thing.

Ask your questions, I am not afraid.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT TO WINNER STATUS!

WAY TO GO PWT!! Got your 50 with time to spare.

Whoops! Didn't mean to leave you off... I think I misread the original thread. Thanks for the comment, and for the EtC opportunity.

Hey, I took you off the EtC song, as a collaborator, but it really was your thread that got us organized! You deserve some credit somehow! Anyway, thanks again.

Tom,
I've been almost constantly on the road since FAWMstock. Following your progress and loving the music you are putting to my words. Can't wait to hear your mix of "The Secret the Darkness Completely Concealed." Use whatever beat, rhythm, style you feel for it.
Cheers! Mark L Berry

Thanks for putting together the demo on Power and Greed, the changes you made are perfect.

It's a pretty crappy recording, but 'you laugh when you cry' is up. Thanks for being into it :)

Haha! I didn't notice that but sure enough upon relistening... yes you can! xD

Hey toast, YLWYC is perfect as it is...just don't go putting my full name on it until I land a job :D

Hay, you've been awol :)
Seeing your name in lights reminded me of "The Devil Sent 'Er Back"
I couldn't remember where we were on it so I checked back in my E's--On about 7/12 you sent me a rough demo on about 7/14 I sent back,ok proceed and we talked about changing one line --did you get anything together on it ?

psst! what IS a "soda love song"? if it's a blue subject, just draw me a picture!

Hey! I read your bio, regarding the part where you wrote about collaborations... In the case you need some lyrics, if you like just drop by and take a look if there`s anything you could eventually use...
Best regards,
Arthur

So what do you want Walrus or the set of lyrics... or both :P

I am really only 100% reliable for lyrics, but can possibly do some sort of singing part if need be. Other than that I find it easier to write lyrics first because I am not a hundred percent convinced on if im able to match words to an already established music part of the song. As for what to write about, I dunno we can decide on a topic or something ? Or I can just write something and see if you like it if not try another one kind of thing. If that made any sense

Hey Mr. Toast! You up for a collab?!

Feel free to take at a stab at anything of mine at anytime!!

Thanks for your comment on the Lie in wait lyrics - it's appreciated.

Thank you so much for your comment. :)

Thanks for your lovely comment on my skirmish!

Brilliant! Added. Thanks heaps, mate :).

Can I get a little more insight as to what you envision lyrically with TGWTYB?

Comment by plainwhitetoast
I added notes to the lyrics section of the song page. Thanks for your interest!

Oh man! That is so. Very. Awesome. THANK YOU.

I should admit, usually when I write songs, mostly I write lyrics and music at the same time so I already had a melody lined up for it. But this is so very cool! I really like how you did a lot of the more awkward rhythmic bits- the 'stop, stop' bit in particular made me shiver. And the guitar gives it a speed I don't usually have when I'm vocal-layering.

Would you like me to put it up in the demo thingy and stick you down as a collaborator? Is there any more to be done on it? I am always up for putting harmonies in where they're needed. (Or. uh. Not needed. But then I'm addicted to harmony.)

thanks a lot... ya the constant snare is good for getting that tranceyness :D

Hey!! :D I'll be looking forward to your 50/90 output this year!
