Backwards acoustic! In synch with the beat! How did he do that?
I was messing with the acoustic and it was sounding too '67 for me, so I decided to throw a hip-hop beat on it. I kind of like the holes in it, as well as the harmonies. It doesn…
One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…
Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

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.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

A long one, something of a centrepiece for the record. Open tuning and ebow fun.

Fancied trying some fast piano. This one sounds like the single to me.
This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…

Great liquid groove; great change-ups and harmonies. Smooth...and amazing harmonies...
This is awesome. I love the chorus, especially the backing vox. Brilliant S-dude!
Great song, love the harmonies.
I was about to say this was nice and delicate, and then I glanced at the title again. Great minds I suppose? Wonderful playing.
Great sound on that acoustic. It's fantastic. Cool chord prog and cool song all around. Nice...

Great melody! I like the backing synth tracks as well coupled with the crunching gtr.
Great instrumentation and use of space on this song. The vox is great.
Awesome.

Better than the original. I speak with authority here. ;)
Damn Alex, is there anything you don't play? This is great.
