Featuring my good friend Mr. Steven Phillips on electric guitar and backing vocals. Regardless, nobody seems to like this song but me.
BTW, This song is not intended as an insult of anyone. Don't send goon squads after me, please!
I still love the old version of Ugo Rez, and think of a reason to use it every year.

I love to wake on a monday
puttin my clothes on
Startin my day
I love to drive on the highway
smiling people…
I set up my antique Roland TR-707 Beatbox, a vocal mic, an amp, and tried to play this “live”. It came out pretty bad, and I thought I’d have to toss it. But after a couple day’s retrospection, I decided to save the rhythm guitar and drum tracks…
Written and recorded not long after the death of my favorite person ever, Jerry Garcia.
Originally Recorded on a Fostex 4-track cassette and remastered.
A song about the boardgame: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2842/transamerica
Lyrics:
I take a card of every color
Each bears the name of a city
You say my goal is to connect them
It's an impossibility
It just might take me several minutes…
A song about the upcoming End of the World.
They tell me that the world is almost ended
the calender runs out and there's nothing more to say
The sun will flicker out and leave us all to die
So many things will be left undone
You and I will…
Hey Dave, I haven't seen (heard!) any new music from you in a while, but if you've heard anything awesome around here in the last year, please add it to the thread:

Have you just not been doing music or are you posting it somewhere else?
A song I wrote when I was about 19 years old. I never thought it was good enough to record. Maybe I was wrong!
I float around in a pool of slime
I can't be seen with the naked ey
You know it's gonna be lotsa fun
To munch out on a bacterium…
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…
Another of the "Recipe Songs". Maybe not as successful as the first, but much better than the others, which I have omitted.
Originally Recorded on a Fostex 4-track cassette and remastered.
Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…
I like the little time-signature shifts and genre channel-surfing you do here. It's easy to tell that you really enjoyed making this - it shows in the results.
I was thinking about what I hadn't done so far - no instrumental, no synth, no vibraslap, no cowbell - so I just tossed all that stuff together. The title is in memorial of my brother's recent appendicitis.
Edit: I admit that I did a remix…
I had an incredibly hard time putting this together, and then at the end it fell together better than I could have ever hoped. I guess I should scream my head off more often.

Here comes my life again on the upswing
feels like I've been down

There's a feelin'

Hi Mike,
I have not really done any recording since RPM 2012. However, I should be back this year.
BTW, digging this album right now. Nice spare arrangements fit your vocal style well.
A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)
This is the fourth song from the Thomas - Lennon project.
A collaboration with Michael Thomas of Cave Street.

Michael and I always have something going on, So I'm sure there will be more.

Come Tomorrow

I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…
Who should come down the cellar to see Elvis but Bon Scott. Reg got on with him like a house on fire, i mean they have a lot in common. Reg told him all about his new love. S o they decided to jam and this is what they came up with…
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

If hero worship has no place in the civilized world, why am I here?? :)
Tell it! Do tell it!!
Toooo cooool....
Beautiful - great vocals.
Awesome! Leonard Cohen on Alonetone!
Nice rock caterwaul!
Alright, you've kinda outdone yourself this year. This is insanely hot.
OK, does it really make sense if I designate EVERY track as a "favorite"? - looks like I'm doing it anyway!
Cool percussion here.
A beauty...
OK, I'm dancing, I'M DANCING!! :)

Cool! I expect that Vancouver show will be something to tell the grandkids about!
The finest Christmas song I've heard this year.
