What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when…

K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…

this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…

i tell K.G. that this one is like the allman brothers and bruce springsteen doing a tune together. another kick ass K.G. tune. we played this thing alot and nailed this take live!

K.G. had a moody theme going on some of his tunes this year. love his words. this song is very easy on my ears. hope you agree.

words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!

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!

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.

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 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…

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.

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 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…

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…

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.
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…

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.

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.
Uploaded
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…

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…

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.

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

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

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