During my Animal Collective phase. One of the weirder ones...

At last, my secret is out. What I really want to be is a Jazz composer. ;)

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…

The Intro track for my/our RPM '07 album.

Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t 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 couldn’t get…

This Lovin’ 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…
