Today I learned 2 things: 1) Mick Jagger turns 66 tomorrow (a horrifying thought, to be sure), and 2) one of my loop CDs contains vocals from a man who does a good job imitating him. Soooo, with some appreciation for Mick's accomplishments, and…
Another older song, this is my attempt to sound like one of my all-time favorites, Robin Trower. While he never used horns in his songs, I like them (being a former sax player), so I used them in this song to enhance the sound. Let me know what…
This song speaks to a dichotomy I've noticed about the digital age. While businesses certainly have a lot to say to their customers, and use all kinds of electronic means to reach them, the same is not true of the individual. Now that we have…
I use texting in the studio to avoid phones ringing in my mic :) Otherwise, I don't use a cell. I prefer face to face. Expressions and body language are important and can not be perceived by emoticons.
Good subject to write about.

Thank God!... Something up-beat. One of my colleagues has THE party of the year on Labor Day weekend every year, and I play around the bonfire from dusk until everyone is unconscious... and the ladies like to dance.
I've been listening to several of your songs, and I very much like what I've been hearing. You play and sing very well. Will be back to listen to more later.

"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
A song for/about Charles Manson.
If you think you've found an answer
Inside a 45
You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise
Speaking on the record
Backwards just to you
First the curses then perverted verses…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this.

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
Beware all ye who enter here. This song's a stern warning that being the front man of a band is not what it's cracked up to be. Consider yourself warned.
An obvious reference to the classic movie, "Blues Brothers" (which takes place in Chicago -- where we're from), this song tells the cliched story of the band that reunites after years away from each other thanks to "creative differences", "growing…
This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…
Comments on Endicott Road's stuff
Thank you for your comments about our music.Like this song,very nice melody and back vocals.
Ooh check out that break! Is that you playing guitar?! Great!
One thing good about girlfriends, they do inspire us to write great tunes like this one. Nice work. Classic E.R.
Lovely melody, Terry!
Another not so quiet victory from your not so ordinary life. Lots of cool guitar parts too.
This is a really good track, Terry. I love the way it bounces along and thought the lyrics were great.
Like the jolly arrangement, and the quirky synth brass break!
I'm up, I'm dancing around. Another fun tune from Endicott Road......
Well done E.R. I like this one too! Faved.
Oh man, this is really cool.........
Nice up-tempo track, Terry. Optimistic with the feel good factor.
Mighty fine guitar work there!
I never heard of loop vocals. I must be as old as Mick. :)
:D Me too man, me too.
This is a foot tapper. The horns work well with the guitars. We're rockin' now! One Mo' time.........
I use texting in the studio to avoid phones ringing in my mic :) Otherwise, I don't use a cell. I prefer face to face. Expressions and body language are important and can not be perceived by emoticons. Good subject to write about.
Love the chorus. Hope it works out for you man!
I like this E.R. a happy little tune, but the lyrics reminded me that my ship is still at sea! It should be here when I'm 64 :D
Great rhythm and lyrics, Terry. Cool instrumental break too!
Sad but true... w;-)

Very nice. Your guitar work is excellent. Love the chords.
Another very good song. Nice vocals, too. I like the slow yet steady beat. ER
I like this too. I like the melody and the vocal work most of all. ER
I like the vocals on this, including some of the reverb and echo effects. Using an accoustic guitar for this was a good choice. ER
I like this. Sounds good. I like the beat and the lyrics. ER
I don't need much encouragement to sound intoxicated. Oh, wait, I usually am! The band sounds good, and so do you. ER
So is your nickname "Spuds"? Very funny song, sir. I admire your courage to do this acapella. ER
Don't know about blaming Bethan for anything, but I liked the intro. Is this a kind of Hokey Pokey in 3/4 time? Love the lyrics. Well done. ER
My boss thinks he's a donkey jockey. He's always riding my . . . ahem, this is a family site. Sorry. Nice song, though. ER
And a man doesn't just cook, he barbecues! He's a gourmet, right? ER
Love those harmonies. This reminds me of very early BeeGees music. ER
The "ShooBeDoBa" at the beginning gave me a start, but I like the song overall. Nice harmonies. ER
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this. ER
I think the lyrics work fine with this, amigo. ER
Nice light little tune you have here, Gumbo. Liked it a lot. ER
I have enjoyed all of the songs I've heard from your band since I bought the Cheapass Album. Keep rockin', boys, and you'll never go wrong. ER
I've heard this so often that it's part of my subconscious. But I never expected my wife to say that. LOL ER
Love the melody on this. Another song from you guys that I love. ER
How many favorite bands have we thought this about? I hope that never happens to me. Lyrically, you hit this nail on the head. ER
