Dedicated to everyone that's written a lazy article or book about the characteristics of my generation. Lift up one finger, let's have another go-around.

Embarrassingly I assigned the wrong channel while recording drums and lost some stuff. Should be more low-end drums. Oh, well. Such is life in February.

This needs some rearrangement... yeah... even so, don't ask me about the future, there is no future.

This needs a better arrangement, but it's central to the album's themes and images.

Write-in contest for the second-to-last line of this song. I've gone through about 20 different ones, all terrible.

... and even if they are totally earnest in doing their jobs professionally, the execution of their work certainly has political consequences and must not be allowed to escape public scrutiny...

I'm probably not a good enough singer for four-part vocal harmony. Or maybe I should space the parts out more?

AAAAARGH HOW ABOUT PLAYING THOSE NOTES EVENLY THEN?
Uploaded
Rhythmic synth line run through a ring modulator & a line delay delay delay...

Slowed & fuzzed drum loops turn into the sounds of heavy breathing night marchers

Echoing 8-bit loops twine around stretched copies of themselves.

After five hours of attempting to sing as if I were Marion Gold, I gave up and attempted to sing as if I were myself. That seemed to do the trick.

This is the first track I wrote for the project this year. "Hmmm," I thought, "that's a good beginning." Yes, it certainly was, and it's not a bad title either. *pats self on back*

For whatever reason, pitch-shifting kazoo and running it through a lot of reverb is just fun for me. Working title: "Cirkus".

Featuring Al on noise guitar. Working title: "Drones".

Inspired by "Murder Mystery" by The Velvet Underground, with lyrics adapted from posts on Craigslist's endlessly fascinating "Missed Connections" section. I wanted to put positive posts in one speaker and negative in the other.

Completed on Super Bowl Sunday, and the title is an extremely dorky joke about that. I've discovered electric razors are a fun way to produce industrial effects.

This is a song that I arranged, a few years back.

Ok this is my parody for Genuine"s Pony. Its a comedy song about a bastard son. Pure fictional and has nothing to do with my real life. Just having fun! Enjoy

Hope for everyone that's lost a loved one, hope for the future.

This is an external expression of whats in my head.

Filler. Ideas stolen from Futurama and the amazing Answer Me This podcast. Nothing to see here, move along please.

I constantly need to remind myself that music doesn't need to be frantic, so I wrote a song about it, and ignored my own advice.

I wrote this in 2001, and wasn't a good enough player to create a releasable version. After 13 years and many abandoned attempts, I finally got it onto tape the way I yearned for it to sound all those years ago. This has been my Everest, and I…

This is for my darling Tina, the most loving, caring, and beautiful woman I could've found.

One of the first songs I made last year.Melancholy seems somehow (for me) the right title for it.
Uploaded
Yeah,I know it's a long one,that's cause it was part of the "RPM CHALLENGE". The other thing is that February is my birthday month!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

This is the last song to be finished for the 2014 RPM Challenge / FAWM. DONE!
I’m not an eloquent man
I do the best that I can
The words are hard to find
It’s tough to speak my mind
I never know what to say
it comes out wrong any…

This song was originally meant to be played on piano, but being a bad pianist I switched it to guitar. Being a glutton for punishment though meant I switched it to 12-string. I had a bear of a time getting the part right, and then doubling everything…

Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy.
FORTY-THIRTY
Well, your birthday rolled around again
The way all birthdays do
And this year it’s a big one
Once again you’re sixty-two
I’m sorry…

Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.
GIRLS LIKE YOU
You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face…

The title track to this year's RPM album. The lines actually forced themselves into being and then straightaway demanded that no other lines should be written.
When the songs speak that loudly, I do what I'm told.
OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR…

THE LIGHTHOUSE
You hide an ancient soul
Behind your tired eyes
You keep a heart of gold
Buried deep inside
At least you tried
Always in control
Of what the world might see
Has taken quite a toll
You’re afraid that you might be
Lost…

The Barn Storm (another band here on alonetone) is about as good as it gets. I had the fleeting idea last year that I should make an album inspired by the names of as many great indie musician friends as possible.
This is the only one that…

A piece in the style of Brian Eno's ambient recordings.

I thought about stitching two similar songs together with this as the break in between. Now that I have it all done though, I don't think I want to do it anymore.
