RPM 2014
clenching teeth
through an iron jaw
your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow
on your porcelain cheeks
there is nothing not a trace
happy, are you?
losing sleep
the weight is heavy
you can barely keep afloat
clenching…
RPM 2014
been so long since I’ve been out of the city
maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity
there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel
under the brush creek bridge…
RPM 2014
full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…
I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life
needs a drink or nine
shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime
it’s all…
RPM 2014
on the other side of the river
swollen and impossible to wade
underneath a canopy of cool dark trees
she’s waiting there for me
see her eyes reflecting in the swiftly moving water
hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

RPM 2014
take a stand against the man
when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor
it takes a village to decide
how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right
that don…

there’s hissing on the ground
keep your legs up high
listen for a rustle in the leaves
you can’t trust your eyes alone
it’s not a monster coming out
of a deep hole in the ground
this is real, I tell you
so real
you can’t trust…

It’s name is sadly the same as me, without me
It cannot follow through doorways, the same way
Just saw the rainbow fall over
It’s game remembers…
So Far to Get
Fire on the look-out
he's got me shakin'
Watch me blow it now.
Fire on the lookout,
It's got me changing
what, me worry now?
Fire on the look-out
It's got me shakin'
what me worry now?
watch me blow it now.

My 2009 Christmas Challenge song. It's rough around the edges and I didn't have a drumset, so fake drums, but all in all, not a bad little diddy. enjoy!
my entry into the 2008 Sidedown Christmas challenge.
I tried the original Mel Torme chords and version and it just didn't fit for me, so i came up with my own chords and arrangement.
this was done around the same time as g=gone so it's a…
star
just a star on a sheep on the side of a car
and the picture in your hand from a distant land
with a story can't believe this is happening to me
another mediocre man trapped in a master plan
it's really not the star but the dream inside…
i love how people listen to the first song of an album and then move on. this site is great for telling you exactly who is listening to your stuff and to what. too bad those people i sent links to this CD stopped at the first song. too bad they missed the juicy bits in 2-9.
A blatant attempt at exploiting the deep well of The Jesus and Mary Chain/Pixies/Raveonettes/House of Love. A lovingly loud, shiny and guitar-laden paean to those great bands.
the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well
Judge me, I want everyone all up in here
cast your stones for slandering…
this is 4 bass tracks and drums
the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere.
like a hunter hunts its prey
eyeing me, hungrily
can't keep her paws to herself
and i'm not about to fight it
it…
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.

Love the chorus very AIC
Liking the acoustic direction on this album. THe drums sound great, too.
I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.
Beautiful. Seriously, these song-opening arrangements are just outstanding.
Another outstanding track. Seriously great album, man.
New favorite. Seriously. This song is outstanding. Every part of it. Dang.
GREAT groove to this track. Seriously. What a sound you've got on this album. Just a brilliant unplugged album. Dang.
New favorite. These opening licks are outstanding. Seriously, I could listen to these acoustic arrangements all day.

is this really heavy metal? Tess made me take the heavy bits out :)
i love it, how do you get the vocal effect?

you should put this album up on your list, double exposure.
i was going for tom waits, maybe a little too much?
oh my, this is beautiful. nicely done!
maybe we should do a double album, my versions VS your versions
your demo's are way more impressive than mine :(
someday we need to collaborate. I'll let you sing.
god i love this one. someday you're gonna have to teach me how to sound this good.
well they're sampled loops from Garageband. It's probably time I either buy my own drumset or get some different loops.
I'm working on a new holiday song, should be done soon!

spectacular!
wow, this sounds a lot like Jesus and Mary Chain i love it.
your music makes me want to try harder.
are those loops? how in the world?
i had this guitar part bouncing around for a couple months, unfortunately i was never quite happy with the song itself, one of the parels of RPM.
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
and that's my kid singing at the end of the song, which is pretty creepy.
