Seems the latest government fad is 'nudging' ie subtly moulding society without them noticing. Well, it's my body and my life and I'll f**k them up if I want to. And I've payed the bastards enough that they can fix me if I go wrong. So there!

In the winter when I have no work I survive by the good grace of my fine lady. She says she doesn't mind but I can't help but worry that one day she'll get fed up with it.
No-one seems to quite know what the Big Society is. As far as I see it, it's a way for the government to abdicate responsibility and then emotionally blackmail people into thinking they have a civil duty to work for nothing.
I was listening to this song on the Random radio bit and Storytime my mycoffeetastelikeshit was on at the same time. Belive it or not they sound quite good together and synchronize quite well.
Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.
One night I was seated in a lounge chair in my back yard when the thought ocurred to me. This is nice, but is this all there is? Is this the reason I work? Is this the reason I pay bills and worry about the future and make sure my kids do their…
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.
Vodka
I want the vodka
'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…
Thanks for your kind comments on my RPM effort. Love this tune, nice guitar work on this (and Bodybag) but I especially like the lazy, atmospheric vocal. Nice one
Lyrics by Brian McCloskey in somewhat of a suprise collab. Musically a kind of feel-good soul-pop. I quite like how this turned out, and nominated it my prefered RPM-track this year.

Part 2 - Courtroom and Sentencing.
Courtroom.
In which Angela cross examines the accused and his accomplice.
Sentencing.
In which Judgement is passed.
Call the first witness
Make you take the stand
Raise up your right hand…
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
this song was inspired from an ee cummings poem. it was composed for rpm 2009.
lyrics:
i'll tell you a dream i had once
up in the sky blue everything
flying away a kite on a string
i didn't have anything
i was cool you were warm…
I heard someone say to an undergraduate class, 'you're on your way to everywhere' and I loved that line. This is sort of a Beatle-esque tune. My friend Mike Levine stopped by while recording a showed me a new jig on the mandolin. I recorded…
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.

Sgt Pepper meets Wilco! Excellent song, beautifully done.
Great feel to this tune. Love the mandolin and lazy vocals. Nice one. Faved it!
