Recorded circa 2010 for a CD we made for my parents anniversary. We just recorded a bunch of covers of my dad's favorite songs. Although I don't think he knew this song at the time it's one of my favorite Tom Wait's songs from his 1987 album…

An outtake from "Eulogy for Music". I pulled it because I felt it was too spacy for the album. Around this time I would record sound-bites from the TV and then write songs around them. This song was inspired by the sound clips you heard during…

An outtake from 2008's "Flora & Fauna". I wrote this and recorded it on the same day, after watching a news story about a young soldier's body being flown home on a private jet. credits from Scraps (1994​-​2024), released July 11, 2024…

written in 2009 during the "Suburban Teenage Riot" sessions. It didn't seem to fit the album so I shelved it. I recorded this version the a few months later as a demo for the am/fm dreams & angie fights crime split cover LP "Faiths". I think…

An outtake from our 2011 album "You Won't Like It". Written by Marc and inspired by our 2010 trip to NY City, as were a number of songs from that album. Not sure why we left this one off. credits from Scraps (1994​-​2024), released July 11…

An outtake from our 2017 RPM album "Post". I decided last minute it was too upbeat for the album and pulled it. credits from Scraps (1994​-​2024), released July 11, 2024 written by Damian Lethbridge (2017)
