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 would be much more likely to switch the call alert on my phone on, if I liked talking on it...but I guess that's a different point. :-) The only really great form of communication is non-verbal anyway. :-)
This is the first song on the first CD I ever compiled. You'll notice a piano as the primary instrument, and extensive use of horns. I wrote it years ago, and play it when I need some cheering up. Hope you like it.

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 is a lullaby I wrote for my oldest daughter when she was a toddler. Some think it's sweet, and I appreciate that, but I wrote so I could also sing it to her when she wouldn't shut the f*ck up and go to bed!
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.

You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise

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…

Lovely melody, Terry, and nice harmonies to boot!
Good one, Terry, great music and harmonies.
Yes, love the jangly music...very nice!
Love those guitar parts!
The moody sax and finger picking go really well together here.
Crazy days - great song!
Tip of the hat to the back up band :)
Nice vibrato! Great delivery.
Great lyrics, Terry, and I really like the harmonious backing singing. By the way, did your boss go bust?
I really like the piano, Terry, it quite surprised me, very nice!
Great guitar work! The horns are a nice touch too
Truly funky guitar there, Terry.
I totally dig the guitars. Creative and playful, nice variety of sounds. Like the horns too (I'm also a former sax player)
What sympathetic backing, Terry, suits Tess's beautiful voice.
It's lovely Terry, I like your harmonies as well.
this is so cool you remind me of randy newman! sooooo cool!
you've got a great voice. keep on singin!
I like the guitar sound on this.
Especially like the lyrics, Terry and your musical back up is great.

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
