The most challenging, both in terms of writing/recording, and accessibility I believe on this album. I had a "vision" and I am happy with how it turned out.

Rough mix, first take on vocals.
I once was walking alone
And by and by I turned to stone
It never seemed like it could be
Just like a distant memory
And as you walk along
Your thoughts drift up on the shore
To me, a simple human man…

This needed a real band/orchestra. But the keyboard did a descent job.

When our band played a gig in January in Alameda, I realized that playing 4 hours of music for our collective "friends and family" was and is, indeed, as good as it gets!

This was the first track done for RPM 2014 - sets the tone with conspiracies, jet airplanes, martians, and explosions.

Another track from Deranged Lunaticks - this one actually ended up getting recorded first back in the early "oughts" It's been dusted off and spruced-up.

I wrote this for Kevin Callahan back in the day. It ended up filling something of a niche on the second side of MDL - so here it is.

Giving descriptions of these songs suck. I just realized that. If you want something profound you're shit out of luck. This song is fun to play.

This is a song I wrote for a girl I liked... I even performed a stripped down acoustic guitar only version for her. She loved the song but didn't exactly reciprocate how I felt. I'm a nice guy and she likes bad boys. Wish I could change that…

All the things you said and done
a different story for everyone
lies that make you play a role
with a heart that has grown so cold
You're just fooling yourself
when you think you have control
you don't have anything at all
Your obsessions…

I travel the synthesizer (two 5 minute tracks) and cymbal rooms at Guitar Center with my Zoom H2. Since I play in the same key more or less it works more or less. Thank you John Cage.

So this was my attempt at being nostalgic. I grew up in the UK in the era of Britpop where soulful working class bands sang about not very much in Northern accents. The words are pretty much meaningless, the drum beat is repetitive, the piano…

a song about lust...
We said the words in between lines, baby
It was in the beating of our hearts
and the sparkling in your eyes baby, baby
It was in the breath we didn’t breathe, baby
In the hunger of your sigh, stirred
Then whispered in…

Nothing fancy here. When I went to Maui in 2005 I was pretty inspired by the music, and decided to get a ukulele upon returning home. When I get a new instrument, I try to write a simple song with it almost right away in order to speed up the…

The latest Mondo Boss track is a true love ballad. Sometimes runnin' the game in the streets is worth it, especially for the love of a special lady. For real.
