This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.

Love the way this song builds in the beginning. How long did it take to build that rhythmic section in the middle? I wouldn't be done with it yet. This is the kind of song that one can get lost in. Well done.

Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes....
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Hey! Thanks for the visit!

I'm feeling new.
I'm seeing you.
I know right from my soul.
I don't need malady, baby, in my heart.
Rolling around.
Rolling ground, moving around the bend.
Is it true?
I'm in this mood.
It's coming from my…
I just couldn't sit on this anymore! This is a work in progress. I have some ideas for lyrics, but am waiting for time and inspiration to complete it.
Enjoy,
Doug

Have you been reading my diary? LOL Very self-revealing lyrics. I hear you, man. ER

My entire 2010 RPM Album had songs along the same line as your lyrics. I agree completely with what you're saying. ER
Truth is stranger than fiction! ER
Love the layering of the vocal tracks on this. Much better than I could ever do. ER
A cheery little tune - the constant bass note resonating throughout creates a unique mix. Lynda must be a very special person...
Fred and Ethyl are busy. I don't hear bowling though, more like jetski's.
"I thought this an instrumental band. What the hell was that?" The struggle of artist expression in nutshell. What a grande little tune.
Love those strings and things!
Glad you liked it!
haha. cool oldie.
Today, this is the tune that turns rotten days right around. This one, right here. Thank you!
