Prime Meridian - Blink of an Eye

This was a rehearsal. We called the song Mega-Closer because we used to sit on the last chord for about a week at a time. I liked the little instrumental riff, and I loved the dynamic changes. Otherwise the song is kinda hokey, but I still like it.

A holiday song. If I remember it came together in about 5 minutes. We started noodling on some goofy little riff and before we knew it the song was complete. It's been a long time, but I think Mike the... (more)

Prime Meridian - Instinct

One of our attempts at an overdubbed demo. It doesn't work. There is actually a couple of bars missing after the first verse. We had no isolation and no monitors when we recorded it so I couldn't really... (more)

Prime Meridian - Overexposed

One of our attempts at an actual demo. The lyrics are about being completely sick of the constant media coverage of the OJ Simpson trial. It was topical at the time I wrote it. Not so much anymore.

Prime Meridian - Accidently

Thursday

Written during Spring Break 2001. Can you guess which day it comes from? The lyric is about how I was on day 4 and had already run out of ideas. Kinda typical.

Something New

Originally written in my bedroom in 1992 or so. Later rewritten and played by Prime Meridian from 1998-2000. It was basically forgotten about until I found it on a tape in 2004 and brought it out for Break Even.
