one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010

I really was carrying the ash from the fire out in the dark and looking at the stars and thinking how weird that was - to be throwing the ashes out in the middle of the night and pitch black and everything

This is utterly Sublime!
It seems to be one of those days where I Keep stumbling across Awesome Music!
I love the sparse Instrumentation, The driving beat, and the heartfelt Vocals!
Freaking Awesome!

This is great like a hangover.
I have a hangover.
I had a great night. I remember what fun it was and bits of it make me burst out in a big grin. And yet i feel very different today. Slowly, warily i get on with my life, bits of the past intrude without being asked, and I'm sort of unbalanced.
If things are too quick it almost hurts so I trust to the slow things.
Pictures. Songs.
Beautiful.
This tune was sounding so dramafree and happy-go-lucky that I decided to write some (uncharacteristically) dramafree and happy-go-lucky lyrics. The sound at the beginning is from my Nokia-phone which I also use as my alarmclock. I was then reminded…
Featuring a sweet reference to the Loretto Chapel's mysterious staircase and the most wonderful mylar balloon ever manufactured (with allusion to secret promise attached).
I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.
I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…
This instrumental song is about the rabbit in the moon. Fact: the ancient Aztecs measured drunkenness in number of rabbits. Like, "Oh, cheg out Bill, he's 300 rabbits." "Dude, I was like 230 rabbits last week and I got kicked out of the Florida…
Oh, I had such big plans for this song. Acoustic guitar, tin whistle, maybe go and drag the bagpipes out of storage (cough, or as the case really would be: fire up Logic, so I can use an external plugin).
I went to storm spotters training instead…

Sounds great man! Remember that other people only hear what you did. Not the stuff in your head that you didn't do!

This is gorgeous, Gumbo. Love the steady beat, the sentiment and the vocals.

Lovely! Great dual vox especially.
Beautiful! I love the subtle, understated quality of the arrangement and recording. Unmixed? Sounds pretty close to me.
Great lyrics!
Oooo great song! I especially like the emotion in the singing during the last 30 seconds or so. Great work! Wish I could play a banjo too ;-)
Great song and recording!
