I'm really not this bleak... I was just looking for an excuse to use that VU/JAMC/The National drumbeat!

Many of the most harmful things seem small and/or innocuous.

I have a love for solid, well-crafted love songs. Unfortunately, that's not what you're going to get here!

Daft Punk and Wire hire Le Tigre for an homage to Bert Convy. And the password IS 'raincoat.'

An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.

Lorelei reaches her breaking point after years of abuse — via a failed attempt at an homage to Ennio Morricone (had he been Mexican).

The Creation meets The Three O' Clock meets (unwittingly) Oasis. I plunder shamelessly in a pair of striped trousers and mod 'target' t-shirt.

We move miles away from Bristol trip-hop and take a trip to Paris. This Daft Punk-inspire piece really allowed me to lighten up a bit during the lonely production stages.

Archtop Guitar, electric guitar and Roland vocoder. Drums are BFD2 and a tabla I picked up that week at a thrift shop.

Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.
