Back in 2006 I did an entire album of spoken word, or pseudo-rapping, whichever you like to call it... Stylistically it's very much inspired by Beck's album, The Information...
It began as a poem, until two separate friends inquired randomly how the song sounded... I replied, "What song?" and they laughed... So I went back to the studio and this came out... Enjoy!

This is from my 2007 album, 'Elbow Rhumba...' and explains how I feel about politics...
(Chorus lyric: O! Say, does that Star Spangled Banner wave goodbye, when the Altered States of America come down from on high...)
Fulla' Boulevard is about 2 street musicians who reunite after a long time apart... Thinking outside the jukebox isn't so hard, when you get fulla' boulevard...
This is an assault on all GMO producers and their sickly food... (Did you know the FDA co-owns the patent on the terminator gene, with Monsanto...)

This song ties in with a novel I hope to finish before the world ends... The story is about two elite secret society brats that sail a plastic boat out to the great garbage patch, only to discover a new ecosystem of advanced life, made entirely…

The percussive scratches and drum stuff is really cool on this track, though I feel the sheer volume of them distracts from the rest of the mix... Sorry if that's too critical, I am just trying to be honest and constructive...
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

Lyrics:
Spring time comes, the Robins sing
And love is in the air
Rain falls down, the flowers bloom
Romance…
Scientists say that solid things
are mostly empty space
Tiny motes vibrating
Distant and held in place
They don't really know how it works
They've watched things break apart
Fundamental forces, strange quarks
Fuse or remain inert
Isn't that…

This is the first music to tickle my eardrums this morning... I am lucky to be enjoying this sultry spectrum of sound...
This is beautiful!! In Holland, where I have been all winter, is just now beginning to warm up... I'm feeling the vibe now, so will see what happens!
Listening to this was a very fun and interesting experience... Thank you!
PERFECT!!! This track goes down the aisle and then EXPLODES... Wow!
Loving it... Chaos breeds beautiful offspring...
I like this song so much!
Is that first section in 9/8 timing? Wow...
I dig this!! Tim Bomb... And the lyrics are great!
That is by far the freakiest intro I have ever heard... I am disturbed and impressed at the same time...
Ironic and humorous, without losing the beautiful musicality!
They might be awesome!! It's subtle, it's ironic, and it's melodic and tight too...
Hilarious! I have a song called, 'Mice Pace...' and you are inspiring me to post it... Hee hee...
I love the title!! I'd love to see a cartoon with it, telling the story of this cancerous mitten...
I like the style and flavor, but the message of this song brings me down... Go Gandhi!!!
Incredible melody!!! Like CAKE and Sublime and Doughty and wow, this really does it for me...
Nice groove!!
Please stop posting this... It's disruptive to the flow of alonetone's radio... BOO!!!
