Driving all over the fucking road.
Left right left right doesn't really matter.
In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt

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!
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
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.

this came on straight after savages eclipsed. really worked alongside it. i think there might be cause for a chillout playlist.. if there isnt one. really dreamy this.. like it alot. im still not sure what she'd do though.. cat woman, even after listening all the way through. ill let you know if i work it out..
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

sorry for the silence
i'm not ignoring you.....
I…
oh yes yes yes.. this is incredible kavin. its got that voice you can trust thing to it like the American era Cash stuff. Makes you think.. this man knows.. this man's lived! brilliant, as is the playing, naturally. :)
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
smoooooooooooov... really like this one. Its got the surfy thing, but its also quite creepy and dark sounding.. and also reminds me of t-rex.. nice one slick!! :)
By no means the first song that popped out. It's just the first one I'm calling done beyond a remix. I think this will wind up leading in to a metal tune and will likely be shorter.
Worked on this track for a *long* time. Learnt a lot but it's time to call it done and move on to something else. Am pretty happy with it all in all.
Sounds include samples of me clapping and the Snowdon steam train heavily processed with Ableton…
really like this one colin.. s'got a big wad of potential id say and i second kirks comment on the guitar work. could there be some backing vox sort of responding to the main lyrics in the second verse and maybe chorus? oh and id put glockenspiel chords all through it too - in answer to your request for suggestions! Good luck with the rest mucker
To everyone missing.

I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould
6000 miles away
I finally recalled
the secrets on your skin
in scars and birthmarks
open wounds
secret stories of…
Rell Sunn, the Queen of Makaha, was a beautiful spirit and graceful surfer who lives in the hearts of all who knew her before she was called back home.
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...

triple favourite!!! man i love this. reminds me of something. not sure what but its kick ass. RPM seems to be going really well for people this year.. not me yet unfortunately!! Good luck with the rest doug!
Lyrics:
I was walking down the street
Looking for a place to eat
When I saw a legless man praying for lost souls.
He had Electric Jesus on a tape recorder
And every time he played it the tape got shorter
Until all that was left was the…
Lyrics:
Later in the evening, and I heard sirens all around.
Then I get up this morning, Seabrook Plant had melted down.
I turned on my radio, they told me “this is not a test.”
“You’ll most likely be a mutant by the morning but we wish…

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. ;)

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.
