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
I completely changed the arrangement of this song. Again. Previous versions included a wall of acoustic guitar. Out goes the guitar, in comes the trumpet and drums...
When I first put this track together, it was for a celtic music band. I found out 1., celtic bands have a habit of imploding, and 2., the whistle tracks were frequently in the wrong key. So, I dusted this track off, dusted off an old Yamaha…
If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.
APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…
MY SPIRIT
Spirit Father in the sky
Mother Earth, they hear my cry
Take my spirit from my mind
Leave the rest of me behind
Feed my ashes to the wind
I will journey back again
When the sky is deepest blue
Know I'm looking down at you…
DURING THE STRESS OF THE TRIAL REG HAS PULLED A NEW GIRL WHOS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT HEY SO IS REG....BUT THIS IS THE LAST THING HE NEEDS...IT'S NOT GONNA HELP.....
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Muriel Jeanne Skinner promised that if it were possible she would come back from the dead to
tell me about the afterlife. She has not returned..
Opened the window to let some air flow through
A bird flew in and landed in my living room
Something…
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.
everyone says I cant…
if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…

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.

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

another well crafted tune. just switched to headphones. great mix.
from across the room this sounded like Jethro Tull. up close it reminds me of REM . very nice vox on the repeating lines. nice one!
like the riff and the attitude.
awesome to hear some new FDR!. rocking as always.
Dreams don't mess around. cant wait for a complete album listen. im sure its another jem.
captures a nice late eighties dead vibe...
words couldnt be better. nie performance.
great song.
very nice mix.voices are cool.
very nice.
you are a prolific songwriter. go go go
good one.
love your lyrics. so much emotion in your vox. very good stuff.
yes! damn powerful!
Worth the wait. Another classic! Moody fans are rejoicing! more more more
i got my two year olds voice on my Hefty Strongside RPM album last year. he loves to hear it. this is cool.
beautiful. i wouldnt mind having a go at this one.
this is such a bold collection of performance. blown away. your soul is louder than your awesome voice.
if this were fourty years ago they would be talking about John Lennons lost weekends with Alex Moody not Harry Nilsson...
blown away, brother!
