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:

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.

I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…
Nice rhythm! BTW, I've found a perfect way to get that "Slightly Intoxicated" sound...but it involves drinking. It's a great warmup for the "Severely Intoxicated" sound, though!
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Nothing like the sound of a strat through that classic "brown" sound. Gritty, driving, crunchy, lovely tones...This is my welcome back, did you miss me, RPM 2008 opening track.
