The cosmic equivalent of standing on a ledge and jumping off, except, like Mr. Hawking established, black holes sometimes regurgitate their meals - the original matter is usually corrupted in the process.

Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw.
We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)

Why this represents 1993 is really quite a mystery to myself. I was 2 years old, so I've no idea why it strikes me as such a dark and mysterious year. I think I managed to get down exactly what I was thinking with this track.

The scene setter. This was the first track on the album and I've still got mixed feelings about it. Audibly, I like it. Cohesively, it doesn't REALLY fit in... My girlfriend told me "like it needs to represent the rest of the album. It grabs your…

There are too many amazing quotes from this film to not sample them SOMEWHERE in my album. Time after time, the 'yo-yo master' line got me laughing, so I thought I'd pay homage to it.

One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."

This track is an outtake from my Mellotronic EP. It was originally going to be the lead track on that EP, but as the concept for the EP gelled, this track just didn't seem to fit (despite the Mellotron). It's currently under consideration as the…

(1 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I regret not doing more about the stodginess of this song - it's the lowpoint of the album to me. Perhaps you disagree but I still wince my way through this. Alas.

Written and performed quickly (approx 2 hours) during a "dark day". This is not a political song but rather a song about the "helpless feeling" during the current strange economic times.

I've been listening to early '70's era Eric Clapton quite a bit lately, came up with a riff and tried to write a song that sounds like it could be an outtake from Derek and the Dominoes or 461 Ocean Boulevard.

reading too much sci-fi makes you paranoid and using too many effects pedals can make your songs repetitive, loud, and long.

This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It reminded me of early Leonard Cohen so I took it in that direction with the finger picking and spookiness

This song sounds best if you can drive through Hollywood Hills, or anywhere in Southern CA. Funny how I happen to live in NH, eh? Another song that came from a simple gtr line (the intro).

A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET, I don't care. I wrote it for me. Oh, and I am very…
