really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
Hi everyone.. I wrote this song for Archie Watson, son of my dear friends Lauren and Bradley Watson, who sadly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease just before Christmas. Tay-sachs is a rare genetic disorder for which there is currently no cure…
DEEP WITHIN THE HISS, LURKS A SONG!!
what is a novelty song?
It's one that sits in your brain
Without room for another one
What is a novelty song?
well it seaps to our brain
and its there it remains
until it ruins the other songs
Ah…
This song is about bad relationships. The working vocals for this song were: "I like bolona, bolona it tastes good now baby." And, "I don't know what I am gonna do without a sandwich by my side." Guess you had to be there.
what a great collection of songs. very inspiring. i think of ditching the band and doing a solo acoustic thing. this makes me think even harder. great words. your vox keeps getting stronger . great stories. incredible rpm effort!
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
This was the song I had to pull out of my wazoo on Monday night to finish the challenge. I didn't try anything fancy, since I had not time for re-takes, but I think it came out OK. It could really use a country slide-guitar or something, though…
This song IS autobiographical.
I been thinkin about what they call the best-case scenario
And it's 20 more years of this shit, don't you know
dealing with stuff I don't give a damn about
in return for a certain pecuniary amount
ref:
can't…
Another song I once recorded badly on a 4-track. This one is not so much changed from the original, just a better performance (I hope!) and recording.
Well I'm rusting away and I'm soon gonna die
'cause my body is slowly being oxidized
and I…

Ultra cool! Dusty, rustic spook. Vocals are amazing. And the guitars make me want to spark up! ...and that's exactly what I'm a gonna do.
A hint of the Doors on this one. Nice groove.
Nice touch with the answers. Actually, the Be my lover line is pretty hooky. Build on that.
A little New Orleans blues sounding. Good work!
This is great. The playing is restrained, and yet this is precisely what lends the song its power.
Nice musical tension here, coupled with the minimalist lyrical observations. Really suggestive, quite an effective piece. Well done!
Love the TVZ, bless yer heart.
likin that vocal great backing vocals too thumping guitar yeeah!!!
bloody brilliant
I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
