A funky tune about my step-dad. This is an out-take from my RPM09 effort. I used the rock version for the cd, though in retrospect I think this version is better! Oh, well...

well i have a special spot in my heart for arizona. i also have headphones that fade in and out at times so your mix is messing with my head. i realize it is you and not me. i see the heat has effected you as well. the horns work well. the choral thing at the end is sweet
thanks

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
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's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!
This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years.
Back in 2006 our band started working on writing and recording music for our project, TheSongOfTheDay.com where we released one song for each…
Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.
Great little hook to this. Reminds me a little of Aussie band Spiderbait, which is a very, very good thing in my world. Love this so much it's gonna be faved!
The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

Great song-writing!
wow this is fun!
Feels good...good energy...I'm a big fan of the tambourine.
A great relaxed feel and richly melodic...a real memorable track!
Love it! Bluegrass with a British accent! Oh that's right, Americans are the ones with the accent.
Amen!
I felt the same way about my 86 Buick!! (sniff)

Great rhythm, similar sentiments to it aint too late. Excellent. Thank you.
Let's hear it for fred. Another entertaining song.
Like the harmonica, and the harmonies. Good one.
Good all round song. Nice sound.
I must have heard this somewhere else, Rob. Faved.
Great harmonies. I laughed a lot at this.
Love these lyrics, Rob. Fred sounds like a cool codger.
Love the keys in this one!

Ooh, I love stuff like this. Lovely vocal, lush backing, what's not to like?
Another winner! Love the vocal
Love your off-kilter songwriting/production. This one transported me back to the late seventies. Nice
Great wierd riff. Love it! Fab lyrics too, been there in the past...
Nice Stonesy riff and production. Like all the vocals too...
A classic pop/rock tune! Nice one
Nice! Excellent little pop tune.
Top tune! Love the vocal interplay
Have to agree with the Sister. Great production, excellent vocals
In my head I hear a real big production behind this beautifully observed song. Very good indeed!
This is brilliant. The production/mixing is outstanding. Frankly, I'm deeply jealous!
Just remembered how much I loved this tune last year, so downloaded this album too.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I'm downloading your fantastic RPM album and it will be played A LOT!
Oh, how I relate to this song! Another winner
Man, you write catchy tunes! Love it
Great little hook to this. Reminds me a little of Aussie band Spiderbait, which is a very, very good thing in my world. Love this so much it's gonna be faved!
What a fantastic, summery, upbeat pop tune. Couldn't agree more about not wanting to work!
Sounds quite joyful to me! But love the title and the composition
Very pastoral. Looking forward to some warm afternoons! Again, lovely
Sounds like rain! Love the way you come out of the refrain at about 1.40 back into the rain motif. Very nice
