We all suffer from this. This was a song I'd written early on. One of the few times when the recording actually came out better than I expected. Unfortunately for you, the "good part" starts halfway through.

This was my attempt to write The Great American Song. I guess I didn't really achieve my goal, but I think it came out OK anyway.

I recently read Milton's Paradise Lost. I decided to "Summarize", but I couldn't do it in less than 12 verses. The song is so intractably long that I just left the many clams as-is. Sorry about that.

I've been told that the lyrics are a bit "creepy". I guess I should note that my songs are NOT autobiographical!

This was another song I wrote ahead of time. I end up enjoying these the least, but it gives me something to record on February 1st.

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'm convinced I've lifted this melody from somewhere, and I'm sure somebody will soon let me know that I have.

I woke up with this in my head, including the first line of the lyrics. If you dream it, you must record it, that's my rule.

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…

This was one of the two songs I wrote ahead of time to get a jump on RPM.

Recorded this to test a new bass direct-in box. I ended up liking the vocals and guitar better.

A remake of a song I recorded on a 4-track back in the 20th century. I am not really a communist.

I "wrote" this song before I even had a guitar, sometime in the 80's. I finally decided to record it.

Another remake of an oldie. Probably among my favorites lyrically.

Yet another remake of an oldie. I'd fantasized for years about how this song could be better, so I am slightly disappointed in this. I just don't play guitar well enough to do what I want, and I guess I never will.

Yes, this is based on somebody I actually know. People seem amused by the "throat-clearing" samples. The samples are mostly me, but the guy muttering in dutch is not.

This one seems to be a favorite among my friends. Maybe it hits close to home.

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!

Gotta love the auto-arpeggio.

I decided to go full-punk here, while desperately trying to avoid the obvious rhyme words.
