John Weber, ‘When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be a Rich Dead Rock Star’ Volumes I+II

I love being a potential rich dead rock star. I just dont want to be dead, cuz being dead means I might give off a bad smell. And that’s not good. Well, being dead wouldn’t be much fun, I admit. I just want to be rich and get chicks and stuff. If I have to be dead to achieve all this, then so be it. Read more

Peter Schindelman

Peter is from West Springfield, Massachusetts. I know him from way way back in usenet days - that must be mid to late 90s. I can still recall his spoken contribution (with beautiful acoustic guitar in the background) to an audio Xmas RMB project several years ago. Read more

Chuck Gauger, ‘Thoughts’

I have always been a big fan of ‘Come Quickly’, but Chuck’s ‘Thoughts’ has blown me away. Chuck wrote it about growing up in Naperville, Illinois. Read more

Chuck Gauger, ‘Best of 1977 - 2003′

Chuck Gauger recently took some time and compiled some of his favourite tracks. The collection, based on songs he had recorded from the late 70s up until 2003, was well worth the wait. Read more

Beatles, Eleanor Rigby

The actual genesis of the song existed as ‘Miss Daisy Hawkins’, which Paul invented at the piano one evening. He further worked on the composition, apparently inventing the entire melody, and had the idea of a lonely woman whose only participation in a wedding would be to pick up the rice after it was over, i.e. a janitress. One story attributes the Read more

Cold Hope, Early Thaw

Well, my frickin album is DONE - eleven original tunes that I wrote and recorded between December of 1999 and June of 2000. And I invite you all to listen to it. Well, at least a few tunes anyway. The music is heavily Beatles and Beach Boys influenced, and if you want to cut to the chase, I recommend “Crossed”, “Cold Hope, Early Thaw”, “Your Side”, and “A Bit Bitter”. Read more

More Hits

There may be sufficient material for a second compilation of John’s music. This second greatest hits is very much a work in progress. The project may turn into a covers album, or some amalgamation of covers Read more

Big Ass Stealth Jets

EARLY PRESS RELEASE Written, recorded, and produced by amp-f and rmb’s own “jweb” (aka John Weber), Lielock’s new album will be officially released this Saturday, October 27th 2001. The album (not yet titled) was conceived merely a month ago, on September 25th.

Yes, the record is inspired by the 9/11 tragedy. No, the record isn’t a wimpy collection of ballads about how we should all “just get along”. Read more

John Weber, ‘Greatest Hits’

John’s ‘Greatest Hits’ was posthumously released in late December 2005. The compilation was the result of almost a year’s worth of research. A big thanks to John’s many friends across the globe for sending me masses of material. John would often, on a whim, mail out a freshly burned CD of his latest recordings to friends on his favourite usenet forum. Read more

A Day in the Life

It appears to me that “A Day In The Life” would be a perfect candidate for cross-generational appeal. It’s about a topic that seems to touch just about every disaffected soul, no matter what their age. And it’s less important what the historical references are than how the singer/ protagonist responds *to* them. John’s ironic ennui sculpts Read more
