The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…

Thanks, Alex! What a great compliment coming from such a talented musician as yourself! And yes, of course.... er, how far down the line? :-)

Oh, I'm a believer. I can't count the times I've seen music transcend the boundaries of time and space in just such a manner! :-)
Cheers!
When they make the film about my life and times later down the line I'd like you to do the soundtrack? That ok? Makes me feel like im in a film, locked in dark contemplation. eerie. catchy. good. :)
This one.. believe it or not.. helped me sort out a problem thats been buggin me.. then, it turned out the title was exactly the conclusion I'd come to. Freaky!
A WildGeas and CaveStreet collaboration
some say once upon a time
there was a line
that was never meant to be crossed
if ever that occurred
you might have heard
an innocence would have to be lost
but having crossed that line
I can…

All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
Well, howdy there folks! Michael here from CAVE STREET. I'm back at it and I've got a (relatively) new demo track to share called "Shiny Things."
There is now a full-band incarnation of Cave Street, gigging around middle Tennessee. legit…
Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!
Technically not part of my RPM 2023 project, and it was mainly recorded in January 2023. It is probably not worth listening to, but I can't make a playlist with a prime number of songs so this is #6.
The song lyrics will not make any sense…
If this wasn't such a hot mess I'd be more ashamed of myself than I already am.
Use me up before I expire
Just read the label, the warning is dire
I'm Long past my best-by timer
Got a little bit of a rotten slimer
USE ME UP
Use…
As great as the previous songs were, I think this one is my favorite. Such a funky groove & then that descending progression had me hooked, but then that bass breakdown just puts it over the top!
Last song? Ever?? The hell you say! No way man, this has a great riff, funky bass, vocal harmonies. You need to put together a band and bring this stuff into a live setting!
OMG, these titles are cracking me up! Is the best singing you've ever done? Definitely the most emotive! Wow, Dave you really do keep getting better each year. I wonder if not having Olivia recording with you this year somehow inpired you push yourself? And again, I'd really love to be able to read the lyrics!
Great solo, Dave!! Put those lyrics up when you get a chance! This somehow reminds me a little bit of Psychic Ills, like maybe something from their Inner Journey Out record. Whatever, it's a cool stoney vibe!!
It's been brought to my attention that the component mineral is MOGANITE, not Morganite. Please delete me.

Thanks for the spins & comments, y'all.
@Dweeb, this is an old track from 2020. I tried multiple takes of this song.... not sure if this version was a vocal overdub or not, I'd have to find the old master tracks to figure it out. I found this on my old laptop when cleaning up desktop files the other night. I wrote/recorded this in April of 2020, not long after John Prine passed away. I guess it was kind of my tribute to him.
Can you hear me?
Can you see my screen?

I saw this beautiful name in a scientific paper. There are many people with this name, this particular one is a crystallographer. So I ignored all that and wrote a song about Indian food. I take full responsibility for the horrid mispronunciation…
Darn it now I'm hungry. Mmmm, gulab jamun.
I think I say every year that it's your best record ever, but I really do think you get better each year!! Keep on rockin'!!
Messing around with my Zoom H4N recorder. I cheated and re-recorded the vocals, added the harmonica, and mixed it down using Reaper. I plugged my ancient TR-707 and bass right into the recorder like it was the '90s or something.
I wrote and…
I went into the kitchen and I made a big mess

I pushed it all aside and I ate all the rest

It's basically a punk rock song about yoga. I have spend a lot of time during quarantine following along with https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene
Not really sure how I managed to get it to 4:39 long but that's what it is…
This year's six-minute depressive Dad-rock ballad.

Sitting around on a Friday afternoon, Feeling hungry and alone
There aint nothin worth eatin in the fridge, noone to call on the phone…
Well now ya hit me right in the feels -- when you sing "hungry and alone" I'm felling that. And more brown guitar stylings... always a good thing. This one's heavy, hope your gonna lift us back up after this!
Looking at your resume, one key takeaway is there ain’t a single thing you know
Comparing the candidates I gotta say candidly there ain’t no place you can go
So we make an offer of a minimum salary
What do you think of it? Does this make you…
Dave, you & Olivia have knocked this out of the park. Some of your best instrumental work with regard all the layers of sound, great arrangement! Do I detect a slightly brown influence on this track?
I look away, I cannot see the vase behind me
I turn and see, the flower very nearly dying
I try to fill the vessel up with the water from my cup, no timing
I try again, but another bloom is fading
I walk away, and to myself berating…
Holy Moly!!! This record is off to a great start, but this is easily my favorite song so far, and an all-time favorite Dweeb track!!! GLAA DEEE OOO LAS!!!!
Bonus points if you can figure out what this song is about before the end of the first verse.

Very nice, Brother Malice, very nice.
this is nice. Mellow and jazzy. Like the guitar playing too!
I have to confess that I can be confused by futuristic music, however, this is wonderful, I really like it. Lovely stuff.
Lovely and melodic, nice one Michael.

Yes, Jason Deptula on cello!
Oh man, this one is really moving!

Heavy WeeN vibes!! I was wrong, THIS one is my favorite & my new ear-worm!! Dig that solo mang. Gener would be proud!

Oh, I missed this one till now. Digging the acoustic vibe.
And so it begins. Again. :-) Have fun!!

Now this is too damn catchy! And that harp!!! Tasty!
More excellent guitar work, and another great bass line! This is surely your best record ever, Dave!!
Rippin solo on this one. Yoga rock, who'd a thunk it?!

Love hearing y'all sing together & the harmonica break! (And I'm probably wrong, but it seems like Mario 3 fits?)
