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…
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…
we just started rolling tape and this fell out of the sky and it felt great as it was happening too. we are all pretty rusty after little practice the last several months. trying to shake the dust off and ready a new rig for this years rpm challenge…

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.

A rather flat version of an original instumental jam played live as a four piece in the studio.we played reserved compared to normal renditions. others wanted this on the album, i voted no. we made our 35 minutes. thank god!

Another beauty on this stormin' album crammed with classic rock anthems. Solid song-writing and no nonsense we-rock-and-we-know-we-do performances - loved it!

i tell K.G. that this one is like the allman brothers and bruce springsteen doing a tune together. another kick ass K.G. tune. we played this thing alot and nailed this take live!
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…
