I am Ironman. With this one, I purposely kept it stripped down. I could have lavished it up, but I wanted the tone to match the stark clarity of realization. Sometimes this one sounds thin to me, but stark clarity sometimes has the same: "That…

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…

Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely. These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now... This one is meant…

This is a song for my RPM 2009 album. An echoey ambient piece with Tibetan bells and piano in deep space

This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It reminded me of early Leonard Cohen so I took it in that direction with the finger picking and spookiness

This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It seemed to be a meditation on everyday life so I decided that I'd whistle for the solo as it's the kind of thing I do when walking down…

A rough guide to the presidential race.

This is a random, ambient, minimal and free music.

reading too much sci-fi makes you paranoid and using too many effects pedals can make your songs repetitive, loud, and long.

i don't know. another paranoid delusion, i guess.

loop pedal + fuzz pedal + wah-wah = instrumental noise madness.

pretentious silliness.

instrumental fun

i have long legs...

just goofin around...

*Cover of* **_Shriekback_** *song from their album "Oil and Gold".* *Mixed with Ken Kessie. Backing vocals by Anne Kadrovich.*

I've been listening to early '70's era Eric Clapton quite a bit lately, came up with a riff and tried to write a song that sounds like it could be an outtake from Derek and the Dominoes or 461 Ocean Boulevard.

A surf instrumental written during a snowstorm.

The title and lyrics come from a spam email I received.

A jam written when I was trying to finish the verse for It's Crazy.

I started writing this to submit to the song fight challenge. I decided to put it on the album instead.

I wrote a surf instrumental in 2006 called 'Gansett Wave (Part 1). I always intended to write a part 2 for a single, but never had the motivation. I used the chord progression from part 1, put it to an electronic beat and used an E-Bow for the…

I recorded a demo of this in 2006 with a friend of mine. Never being satisfied with it, I've worked at it on and off over the last couple of years. I used my friends original vocal (which I ran through a vocoder) and rebuilt the backing tracks…

Started this track the last week in February in the middle of hurrying around, trying to finish the challenge. I put a complete backing track together and it seemed to fit the album as an instrumental. If anyone wants to contribute lyrics or…

It started with the opening riff. I liked the sound of a twangy guitar riff over a heavy drum loop. The B section has an almost jazzy feel to it. I'm happiest with the bassline.

I was listening to Dinosaur Jr. on my commute one day. I tried to write the lyrics in the vocal style of J. Mascis. The first line of the chorus comes from a fortune cookie. Inspiration comes from everywhere, I guess.

*Modern electronic rock. Guitar, synthesizer, samples, drums.* *Sounds like **_Depeche Mode_** *and **_U2_**. *Recorded at The Hive in 1997. Mixed with* **_Ken Kessie._** *When you're depressed, nobody wants to see you.* You all said…
