A song about a rather unsavory character. Fathers, lock up your daughters!

Best thing I've ever written. I still have no idea what it means.

I wrote this to be sung by a dear, now-departed friend who sadly committed suicide while working on a new album of very exciting material. I have a whole mess of "dead Kevin" songs which are in the wrong key, which I've been avoiding like the…

About twenty billion years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Roland's D50 was new, I found this patch called "spanisheart" and plunked down a new-agey tune. Which I promptly forgot about for years. Every now and then, I catch myself playing…

Just a mellow one to round things off. Thanks for listening.

I never managed to get this one to work before.

Feels like a lifetime ago that I wrote this back in 2002; sometimes it's good to remember .

Well look who made it halfway
I truly must be blessed
I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess
And I always do it my way
I make it up as I go along
I think I earned some slack to take a…

Gone To Stay
(C Maiorano)
Here at the crossroads, with no ideas
River of time flows, year after year
We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near
The light of our life glows, then disappears
We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…

Just Passin’ Thru

Take whatever you want from me (babe)
Take all that you need
I need to lighten my load lately
To a certain degree
Tokens only are slowing me down
There’s a lot of luggage in life
Chatter scattered across…

Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids
The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb
Why?
Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily
Dealt with things our own way…

Onward

The message they send us
Conform or be tortured
If it's left up to us
We can only do wrong
But we'll trust in our fortunes
Progress moves onward
Straight ahead
Immortally strong

I want to tell ya about my baby
She does a little kitchen dance
She turns up my heat
And grease's down my sheets
And she can rattle my pots n pans
She can start with a slow simmer
And turn it up…

A rubbish track by Tess got the Sandbags treatment here - the results only hold shades of the original. And it's just as well.

We were running out of time during the RPM Challenge 2012, so Tess applied a shedload of effects to Matt's piano motif from "Breaking Arrows".

Bob Kordas on dobro.

My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme.

Sort of depressing this one, it's written about my best friends (former) girlfriend who sadly took her own life in 1999.

A love song - not much else to say about this one.

This one is about new years eve 1998/1999, which was spend at a hippie festival called "confest".

Not sure if can call myself young now, but I could when I wrote this!

This one's about friend who was a heroin addict - and a camping trip. That's my memory of it. Written in 1999.

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

Another really old song from the early 90s. My lyrics were very obtuse back then (or just plain nonsensical).
Uploaded
A pop song about on-lane dating. Inspired by a friend, not auto-biographical. Not one of my best.

The is a song a wrote a long time ago, circa 1993, before I know how to write songs. Recorded 1999.

I sometimes use a random phrase generator to get song ideas. This time I got "fellow ghost".

The backing track is mainly the "Chanticleer Hegemony" beat in reverse at a slower tempo and pitch-shifted samples of my earlier track "Harm". The lyrics are taken verbatim from a note that once landed in my driveway one windy day. The ending…

I always like making these short little mood pieces. The instrumentation consisted of a beer bottle and a little bit of good ol' Powersockey, the cheap battery operated keyboard.

I came up with "Robot Pizza Militia" because I just wanted a title with the initials RPM, but oddly it did end up fitting the song.
Uploaded
A couple of the stranger sections of this song resulted from accidentally pasting multiple parts to the wrong tracks (and thus giving them entirely different effects than intended). I often try to embrace "mistakes" as just weird new directions…
Uploaded
While adding effects to a song, I accidentally put distortion on a leftover silent recording. I kind of liked the hum that resulted and made the rhythm track out of that.

A harmonica improv, slowed down, played backwards and multi-tracked - I was thinking of something like My Bloody Valentine's "Touched". This and the next three song titles are all anagrams for the same phrase, but I'm going to be mysterious and…

I was sorta trying to write a Mclusky song here - I wasn't exactly successful, but it was fun to try. All of the lyrics are sentences from the 37th page of different books I had lying around: See if you recognize anything from your favorite novel…

One of a few tracks where I made use of a toy plastic guitar neck that emits a laser which you "strum" to play chords... So in all seriousness, I can say that I played air guitar on this album.

I wanted to rap over this, but got stuck when writing lyrics - I have vague plans to make an album or EP consisting of old instrumentals with new rhymes over them, so maybe the rap version will be ready for that.

This started out as an idea for a Big Freedia remix, and I did still make it into one afterwards. All of those crazy fills were edited together via ACID Pro, and other than the rhythm track the instrumentation consists of a distorted harmonica…

K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.

this song is about my inner voice letting me down. i think i shorted it a verse or two. kinda hamming it up on vocals. a bit rag tag, but fun.
Uploaded
this is our drummers(P.L.M) debut song with us and what a cool rocker it is. it was inspired by another musician that moved away and changed his name. i got to add a queens of the stone age/radio head type lead guitar part. what a treat!
