words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!
this is our drummers(P.L.M) debut song with us and what a cool rocker it is. it was inspired by another musician that moved away and changed his name. i got to add a queens of the stone age/radio head type lead guitar part. what a treat!
K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.

releasing my inner ozzy and tony iommi. had lots of fun with this one. started as a little middle of jam practice thing at the end of january. boy it took off. the whole band live on this one! this song is dedicated to Moschell, who motivated…
K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…

this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…

*excellent track* Vocals remind of the dude from Accept (I think -- is that the 'Balls to the Wall' band?) and I dig the heavy Sabbath influence.... you guys really got a great band going here with all the various influences you bring to the table
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
i held off listening to too many of your demos so i could just sit down and have my mind totally blown at one time. and it is. your one of most talented fellows doing this free music stuff. your last two rpm's are in a master class that has few members.
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Reg has left re-hab but now he has to fill those sober hours with something, so he has taken to people watching, but like everything in his life he has become addicted to it, listening in on there private conversation as he follows them, watching…
very entertaining words. love the line about the womens clothes. addictive personalities always have their latest "thing". once again great album. regards, M.F.
thanks for being such a great listener on alonetone. thetworegs are a living part of this site. your music is so very inspirational and incredibly dynamic. awesome RPM!
Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid
You can blow me up
You…

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
Final version
it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists
my third demo for RPM 2011
The cat's in the window and

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
I hear you
Calling my name
Like a whisper
And a scream
You haunt me
Forever
Twist your arms
Around my neck
In a dead embrace
Locked with love
You haunt me
You haunt me
I tore the paper
From the walls
To see what
Was underneath
You left no…
It enters us
Without us knowing
Not welcome
Uninvited
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let me rest
Eat us from the inside
Bit by bit
Cell by cell
Multiplying
Taking over
Invaded
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let…
Comments on Dirty Spirits's stuff
Awesome punk feel - love the stripped down arrangement.
Hahaha, brilliantly inventive!
Hooky and refreshing - great open road feel.
Rockin' start to what is gonna be an excellent album...
Great soul in this song! Digging the chorus.
I needed a kick in the arse like this this morning. Nice!
this is just outstanding. amazing guys!!! New favourite for me
Back for another listen,great stuff!
Most enjoyable rpm effort - went through the whole album without skipping a single track :)
another faved track. Nice to hear you guys cutting loose live.
Beaut. Could have come right off of Berlin.
Right on! I got a pistol for you!
Dig!
Lot's of attitude here. I love it.
This is some "Old School" Rock & Roll.
Hey ... This hit spot. Nice electric guitar sounds, Maybe you could party with Norm and I sometime.
Great ending to a great album. Total *WIN* for you guys... agree w/ MTC & am/fm -- a great variety of styles & vocals, job well done for sure.
acoustic guitar & swampy mix reminds me of an old old Beck album... the electric guitar sounds slowed down... another way cool track, for sure.
*excellent track* Vocals remind of the dude from Accept (I think -- is that the 'Balls to the Wall' band?) and I dig the heavy Sabbath influence.... you guys really got a great band going here with all the various influences you bring to the table
I love how different sounding your tunes are from one another. Cool Lou Reed-ish vox... There's also a Ric Ocasek (sp?) quality in there that I like
