When my 'whole morning for recording' turned into 30 minutes, I did this. Beep beep;
Driving all over the fucking road.
Left right left right doesn't really matter.
In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt
Left right left right doesnt really…
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Alex, are you familiar with the Dreamies album? This piece of yours seems as if it could have been inspired by that album... (Either way, kudos! This is favorite among favorites!) Your entire album this year is excellent!! Love the lo-fi inspiration!

its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.

More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Muriel Jeanne Skinner promised that if it were possible she would come back from the dead to
tell me about the afterlife. She has not returned..
Opened the window to let some air flow through
A bird flew in and landed in my living room

if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…
Mother your an a hole
I know cos father said so
when you left for bingo
he said you was a pain in the ass
Father you're a dick head
I know cos uncle mick said
when mum and him were in bed
they said you was a total douche
ah but its…

I love that you just went and did an album in 28 days for the joy of it...or because it seemed impossible with your time constraints. I would love to hear some of these (frankly) amazing songs re-done outside the parameters of the challenge. Sparks of genius here, Alex Moody.

RIP Tea Cozy Pete;
I was always the
one spilling out the pub drunk
early doors so me and he could speak
I knew his name he knew mine
id watch his smiling eyes shine
philosophising in the street
memory failed to remind me. strange. oh…
I am finding the lo-fi feel hard because I've been spoilt in the past with your awesome production...but you can't fault this song-writing! Brilliant, Alex.

Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
like the stumbly rhythm to this.. cant see anything particularly adversely affected vocals wise butty. sounds fine to me. thats all im onna say about that
~Decrepit shadow of a piano in the shadows of former visitors~
I've played in such a cafe, a long time ago, for a meal/drink, thru the night. Surreal it was; second life. Yeah ...
instant.. i hate 4 in the morning. 3 can still be the end of a good night. but 4's always shit whether you've just got in or just got up. Four in the morning!!!
Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…

It matters! Love your entire album, Alex! Thank you!
Alex, are you familiar with the Dreamies album? This piece of yours seems as if it could have been inspired by that album... (Either way, kudos! This is favorite among favorites!) Your entire album this year is excellent!! Love the lo-fi inspiration!
I say you CAN! And I'm glad you do! This is brilliant!
this song gets better and better every time i listen to it.
Worth the wait. Another classic! Moody fans are rejoicing! more more more
i got my two year olds voice on my Hefty Strongside RPM album last year. he loves to hear it. this is cool.
beautiful. i wouldnt mind having a go at this one.
this is such a bold collection of performance. blown away. your soul is louder than your awesome voice.
if this were fourty years ago they would be talking about John Lennons lost weekends with Alex Moody not Harry Nilsson...
blown away, brother!
this is like the deep cuts on a box set. the early demo that became a classic cut. you carry the torch of the great song writers from across the pond.
I love that you just went and did an album in 28 days for the joy of it...or because it seemed impossible with your time constraints. I would love to hear some of these (frankly) amazing songs re-done outside the parameters of the challenge. Sparks of genius here, Alex Moody.
Oozing with charm!
Awesome chops! Wooooo!!!
She's got a lovely tone. Like her Daddy. ;)
I am finding the lo-fi feel hard because I've been spoilt in the past with your awesome production...but you can't fault this song-writing! Brilliant, Alex.
Screw them. You can. And you should.
Oh, what wonderful lyrics - great song!
(Haha, sounds like you're sending up Gumbo Stu.)
Fabulous work, Alex. It matters! beep-beep.
