Mauri 2000

Recorded live at Melodica Fest in Dallas. Dennis Gonzalez: treated trumpet; Stefan Gonzalez - drums; Aaron Gonzalez: contrabass.

A Bonus track. This was actually written for songfight.org. It probably should have been tacked onto the 2009 RPM record as the song fight took place between 07/29/08 and 08/08/08. I wrote it and recorded it with a scratch vocal in one…

It's not the worst song ever... but it's close.

Inspired by the bombing in Oslo... sort of. More about the news media scrambling to say something relevant even though the facts available are insufficient to lead to any intelligent conclusion. Speculating isn't always a smart idea.

I worked on this project in February and March of 2010, then again in January of 2011. In July of 2011 I made a final push, starting with the lyrics to this song. Hence the theme. On a side note, don't you hate it when you work a riff into…

I love my wife.

The lyrics make me think I had just watched Top Gun... or Hot Shots... but I hadn't watched either of them. No clue where this one came from.

I swear my cat is plotting to kill me.

Title Says it All.

What was I thinking about when I wrote the lyrics to this one? Probably driving South on a two lane in Pennsylvania again. Maybe drag racing? Who the hell knows.

I love my wife. I don't love this song. I had tried to use more settings on my Pod than usual. In some cases (this case) I don't like what I used.

Driving South on a two lane interstate in Pennsylvania at 1:00am can be hazardous to your health. Just saying. The leads on this one used an actual amplifier instead of a headphone amp. My crybaby pedal needs to be cleaned, as you can hear.
