gimmick: melodica (if you haven't played one, it's like a mini-keyboard that sounds like a harmonica and also really hates you if you have wimpy lungs)

a *song about songwriting* I hate that sort of thing but i loved this one?

not a song i'm proudest of, but 12-string guitars are such magic i couldn't cut it either.

three chords and the exclamation point title

seriously i can only get CREATIVELY angry in the weirdest and pettiest ways.

several songs were recorded in my bathroom, to my phone. This one got an actual-microphones-and-counterpoint-on-melodica treatment later, but here's this version.

when political rant but no, pettier! The good news is that i pioneered my "hit mandolin strings with a pencil to sound dulcimer-ish" technique, and not everybody gets that kind of chance in life.

Going to start uploading (some of) the old RPM archive. because. I remember this one came out of being mildly irked how many waltz-rhythm pop and alternative songs had "waltz" in the title. Why never a gavotte? A sarabande?

For FAWM 2019

Rebuild, rebound And start another go around (First demo done for FAWM instead of RPM. Also yes, I did listen to the Mediaeval Baebes a lot in high school.)

Downer week, downer track - but it's #10, so - goal met. grimly.

I've got darts and a map

about a car. a wonderful but falling-apart car that hasn't run in ... a while

what if i don't? (er, that's a lyric, not an answer to "tell everyone a story or describe this music for us".)

slow trudging anger is my favorite j/k

i wasn't sure i'd shoehorned the title in enough so i did it again and then a few times at the end to be sure.
