had a few changes throughout this project, breaking my head and shedding some sweat but hey, there's plenty of free time so what the hell!
Added some hard electronic metal halfway.
The vocal samples is a real television broadcast about propaganda…
I really like the string section in that one. Interesting combination to have that driven beat with the metal part in the middle with a completely unconcerned transcendend string section in the back ground.. Resident Evil meets Heaven? ;)
Worked with a couple of college interns last year who'd never heard of any band I like. I felt like an asshole bragging about going to shows that happened 20 years before they were born.

Like the bass line on this one especially. Really fun album, Dave. I like hearing you do different things with your voice. I'd like to hear some more vocal experimentation from you! Excellent RPM!
I wrote this song for my brother, who'd recently had surgery. Yes, I know it's long. I cut something close to three minutes out of it...FWIW it's supposed to butt right up against the next track "Oldie Bear" but you can't really do that in an…
A post on the Facebook RPM group featured a quote from an aging Dave Grohl complaining about Kids These Days and Their Terrible Music, pointing out that the current number-one song was about someone's butt. So, I wrote a song about my butt…
I wrote this from the point of an old person, such as myself, but my vocals came out so bad that I had to get Olivia to sing it for me.

Looking over a modern meme
It's the worst that I've ever seen
Everything looks a little strange…
There is actually a LOT of goose poop at my office park, but I opted to use the joke title referring to my favorite Beach Boys song.
FWIW, the drum loops came from https://www.organicdrumloops.com/
Woah, this is a woozy little number.... maybe it's the goose poop vapors going to my head. Very Weenish, especially when the vocals come in!! Nice one.
This one is the only track that I am a little disappointed in. I thought it would be a banger and a lead-off track, but I had trouble getting it to exactly where I thought it would be. I think the problem is that I am nowhere near as good a singer…
This song features my first attempt at recording myself playing a drumkit. I only did four takes, sorry.

They’re gonna say I stole this song
And I knew it all along
They own the copyright on C, G, C, G, D
They’re gonna sue the…
I asked Olivia to name something (in three or four syllables) that causes her consternation. Her answer, "Society". Sometimes she follows my scratch vocal line when I record a demo for her, this time she just let it rip, and it is probably the…
This song is for everyone who has failed at their Assertiveness Training.

Wrote this as a thank-you to someone who has been very kind to me, and who REALLY likes photography.

If ever there was a song that begged to close an album, it was this turkey.
A couple of things here. First, I don't really know what I was going for. Quiet, slow, boring? Probably not boring, but there you go. The cool thing happens in…
This one is pretty much your basic bad day. I mean hectic, frantic, crazy, pull-your-hair-out, everything’s going wrong, Junior puked in class and I crashed the car on the way to get him days. Really bad but survivable.
Make yourself the main…
The Glory of Love – Tiggy Acworth 121003
Let’s sing this song together, for the glory of love
Let’s get along together, as if forever is long enough
As if forever is long enough…
You always make me happy, you always make me smile…
