Just a garage/fifties fun type of tune. Lots of guitar. I'm a Knucklehead, wouldn't you like to be one too?

The Dance moves in all of us. It's our inner nature, our link to the universe, and greatly submerged and denied.
The Dance:
The dance commences,
pulse fills our senses,
To lead us to where we begin…

"Senses" is all about Spring where all our senses are sharpened and we look at all the beautyful things that rises before our eyes.

Instrumental. Not as angry as the title sounds. ;)

Another instrumental "bonus". Sort of a tribute to Danny Elfman, whose soundtracks I'd been listening to quite a bit at the time.

An instrumental "bonus" track for the official release of the album "Thou Shalt".

This song was honored by peers at RPM in '07 by being voted into inclusion on an all-RPM compiliation originally intended for HEAR! music.
The lyric is about the inevitability of bad times. It's good to live optimistically, but let's face it…

This track replaced the one in this position which was on the orginal RPM album. Based on some tales from real-life Houston Bail-bondsman (and frequent collaborator) Jay Lindsey.

I co-wrote the lyric with Bill Liggett, and the music with Michael Kardoff. Don't do business with Ms. Calamari.

Additional instruments and arrangements by Thom Polimeros.

Everybody loves the Good old Days. Instrumental and production help from Phil Close

Instrumental assists from Michael Kardos, overall arrangement by Phil Close, additional vocals from Lee Cusenbary. Envisioned as a cheesy Costa Rican Tourist Board jingle framing a love song.

With Phil Close on multiple instruments/production. A song mainly about my disrepect for celebrity culture.

A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

Because of that,
I can make it stop.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldnât forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Uploaded
Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldnât hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldnât get…

This Lovinâ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
Uploaded
Loveâs Standing- A good change up for the flow of the album, this one is vaguely, very vaguely, country-esque. Thatâs mainly because of the heavily reverbed slide underneath the acoustic in the verses. I love pounding the strings on the acoustic…
Uploaded
Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. Itâs almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldnât overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
Uploaded
Summer Grass- I didnât originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
Uploaded
Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…

Sweet Tomorrow- Well, after the previous downer of a lyrical journey, how about a song of hope? Except, after a big downer, you may bit a bit leery, a bit closed off and nervous about taking a chance. So this song is a conversation between two…

Donât Talk Much- Perhaps itâs time you got over your big, bad self and moved on.

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I donât have a pretty voice…
Uploaded
She Didnât Know- So, someone I know got totally screwed over. The worst part was that her friends knew but didnât tell her what was happening. I am not sure she will love the fact I wrote a song about it, but that is the least of her worries right…

Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world.

Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyricsâŚkind of a cop-out, since itâs a song about song-writing. I didnât have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…

this song is a take on classicism and neo fascism, and not sounding like everyone else.

a protest song, out of time and space warp. a harmonica predomintates skillfully, while a deep slide guitar bass whizzles around, Her silky voice made distant in a reverb chamber while scant samples patter.

a monumentally simple instrumental. that might make you cry.

at heart a skitter bopping rythym guitar, overlayed with punchy kick drums and synthy mods at mid and low frequencies. Churreling winds spring through the upper atmosphere.

sixteen htz: as in the frequency of the majority of the noise in this epoch, reminiscent of kubrick. The frequency is thought to clear up mucus when played on a modified flute

an emmotional storytelling through instrumentalism. a whistle transcends the feeling of an explosive bowel movement. a noisy arcane reduction of bass jagged jarring hook and pursed lipped vocals

OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…
