A song about whether or not to do something you're uncomfortable with...
Moving Too Slow:
Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you
cause I don’t want to do this one thing that you want me to?
Oooooooooh…if I want to get close to you
I…
The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love...
It certainly appears broken, Minerva…
This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word.
Unappeasable:
She’s so unappeasable
I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable
but she can’t see my point of view.
She’s blind…
This track is the introduction to the main bulk of the album. It says "WELCOME TO RPM '09" and doesn't let you go until you've gotten to "Dancing With The Midnight Waves", the penultimate track.
Why this represents 1993 is really quite a mystery to myself. I was 2 years old, so I've no idea why it strikes me as such a dark and mysterious year. I think I managed to get down exactly what I was thinking with this track.
I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.
A song about the lost art of the mix-tape and knowing that someone is trouble but doing it anyway...
Compilation Tapes:
Did I mention that I think that you’re a real fine dancer and I like the way you dress?
I’ve known a number of girls…
Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...
Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?:
Baby, would you be my engineer
and keep my headphones sounding clear?
I desperately need someone…
I guess it's a metaphor for trying to break through to someone who is emotionally removed...
Submarine:
I could write a book for you to read,
Take it in my car and drive away
Down to you and your submarine.
Your submarine…
Or I could…
What did this one sound like without the layered falsetto?
I like the oohs but I didn't think you needed to do the two vocals tracks in the chorus. But FUCK!!!
You could sell the shit out of this song.
