Another example of the PSA theme (Pretty and Sad, or Angry), this one's about a political figure from our state who made it to the national stage, got slapped down hard, and is trying to make another go of it at the state level by touting his…

Will (Kenny's bass-playing friend) and I bonded over an appreciation for Les Claypool and Frank Zappa, so here's our Primus-tinged jam with my ham-fisted guitar noodlings added days after the fact. :)

Last-minute addition, and fueled by the same impulse that led to the PSA working album title (Pretty and Sad, or Angry).
We didn't have time to get the vocals right in the studio, so I just pulled my usual trick of making the computer say the…

Heh. :)
The first two verses are about a local town (Decatur, AL) with notorious sewage/drainage and chemical problems. The third verse is about a literal poop train that stunk up north Birmingham and Parrish, AL for weeks at a time within…

Ah, a true group effort!
John J. had the idea to record a song on drums, then hand it off to the rest of the group to build off of. I took him up on the challenge, adding rhythm guitar and bass tracks one night at the studio. Kenny had some…

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity.
Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

Not quite a rap "battle," but definitely inspired by Brennan's interest in such things.

This would be cool with piano, right? And maybe Bruno Mars singing it instead or something?

Gilronan made this up to sing this to his girls as they played dress-up with cold weather accessories.
