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!

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.

has anybody ever really felt complimented by a drunk? its like your words mean nothing/ and you have so many of them/ do you ever ask yourself/ why do i go on/ everything i eat tastes like sand/ theres butter in my underwear/ i had a dream there…
This song was written about one man's journey through the psychedelic wilderness that is the barren runescape which is the Badlands.
During this piece, imagine that you have landed on Mars, and that you are given free access to the Mars Rover…
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
loved the verse melodies on both this and the first one. like the sound of the vocals too - nice dark feel to the whole thing. It's like the good bits of QOTSA
Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.
Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
We move miles away from Bristol trip-hop and take a trip to Paris. This Daft Punk-inspire piece really allowed me to lighten up a bit during the lonely production stages.
Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.

It matters! Love your entire album, Alex! Thank you!

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.

Oozing with charm!
Awesome chops! Wooooo!!!
She's got a lovely tone. Like her Daddy. ;)

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.
