This song has been hobbling around half-written in my psyche for eons, and it took the RPM Challenge to finally finish it!
Like many of my generation, my first peek into the world of women (and what they looked like under their clothes) was National…
start here at the airport
feels like im going blind
middle of the day in a dark bar
1000 miles away from peace of mind
im tring to remember
when i was a kid
did the sun set in my back yard
i think it did
what comes before and goes on…
nearly there!! running out of time and could i get this recorded to a click??! Hell no, so i did it live and it shows. ah well, it has a certain charm!
I remember hearing this on the RPM player a little while ago and it really caught my attention. I love simple, elegant songs like this - so much more effective that huge, songs that drone on.
Sounds like it could be a Ray Davies demo - and that's about as good as it gets!
Thanks too for the kind words about my work.
Beat created for vocal collaborator Du Yun, mixed with a slowed-down Medieval recorder estampie. Created while dwelling in the suburban wilds of Cape Coral, Lee County, FL.
This song was written and recorded for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny". I was watching a biography of Willie Nelson and so this was my attempt at something I thought he might do. I don't hate the song, but I freely admit…
This is my big production number from my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny" that features Philly rapper Marvelous. It's a rockin uptempo affair that has a beat you can dance to.
Original working title was something like, "And after six years I finally understood why they sing in the streets here, and could go home." It's sort of about anonymity in the modern city. If that sounds pretentious, that's because it is.
i like your sound.
is this from your RPM album?
im soon to put my album here. the sound in the circuit bent song you listened to is a toydog thing from fisher price. i would love to get my hands on a speak and spell. but they are hard to find here in europe.

this sounds familiar but fresh. i think that's something to strive for...
A heavy list for 28 days. Very enjoyable. I hope we see more from you in days to come.
I like this song. It is totally ready to be used in a soundtrack or 12.
Eclectic, provocative, cool, new, beautiful; a wonderful list. Love the rhythms in this one.
Very nice - great lyrics. Has a good 'Iron & Wine/Bonnie 'Prince Billy' feel to it.
Beautiful instrumentation - it's very difficult to do without it sounding trite or cheesy, and you made it work perfectly.
It's like you channeled late 60s Cat Stevens and Donovan at the same time (and again I hear the beauty of the Kinks)!
