Mostly acoustic, genre's attempted include: Folk, Blues, Rock, Funk, Jazz, Pop, comedy Usually a mix of all that stuff.
The deal with soundclick is that I really use it more as an archive these days than any sort of promotional tool - i.e. it's not updated anywhere near as often, I don't really log in much either. so if you wish to communicate or for more action though you should head to myspace: www.myspace.com/hotshackett Yeah. I have finished an E.P, you can hear most of it over there at myspace or the whole thing at mp3.com.au/scotthackett . Might put it here eventually.

Story behind the song
I was performing Nick Caves "Wild Rose" in a Tafe band, and remarked that there aren't enough murder ballads around these days. So I did my part to bring more into the world.
Lyrics
C Dm Am G Hello my Dear, it's been such a long time Since that last night that we spent together. You Left in a fury, said you didn't want to see me Again, until I had left her. I told you back then I could never break her heart like that - What would it do for my Karma? But I found a way that she'd never have to know And I could get her out of our lives forever. I told her I'm not so sure, that I agree With everything said in the bible, So we sold all our stuff and we donned the white robes And set off to join a UFO cult. Down at the commune I just thought of you When I missed having earthly possessions. I put my plan in effect when the leader of our sect Said "Now is the time for ascension". I said "Ladies first", so my wife left the earth After drinking the cyanide potion, The leader said "it's your turn" I said "I'm not so sure That I've chosen the right religion". I'm a free man again now that my wife is dead So I guess that you can come back now. Yeah my wife is dead, so you can share my bed And we can live happily ever after.
