This one is named after the resident cat who loved me dearly when I was a visitor. Now that I've moved in I'm pretty much only good for adminstering food and occasional petting- on the cat's terms of course!

instrumental of a flourishing nature with fun in its veins

A pop song without the 'ular' about the struggle of the addict and the feeling of obsession.

Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.

at heart a skitter bopping rythym guitar, overlayed with punchy kick drums and synthy mods at mid and low frequencies. Churreling winds spring through the upper atmosphere.

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…

Love’s Standing- A good change up for the flow of the album, this one is vaguely, very vaguely, country-esque. That’s mainly because of the heavily reverbed slide underneath the acoustic in the verses. I love pounding the strings on the acoustic…

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
