Piano may be easier to write on, but some days it’s really difficult to record on.
I only need one good take. And since this is going in as MIDI, “one good take” just means that it needs to be mostly right. And jeebs, today was a day where I…

While the name of the song is a Spinal Tap reference, this one is almost a period piece, taking us back to the early 80s when record players and mixtapes were how we listened to and shared our music.

This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!

Girls! Women! Birds! Chicks! This song's about all the pretty girls out there (and you know who you are)! This song celebrates each and everyone of them.

The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…

Ain’t that a shame, ain’t that a shame?

Lyrics:
I read a love letter that you wrote to me.
It started off honey and it ended in a frenzy of bees.
You wrote that love’s a translation

But it ain’t that simple…
Your love ain’t nothing…

I had to work with a musican that had a huge ego problem. I finally had to express my frustration with that musician in song. This is a James Brown funk feel with a pop hook.

Living in Milwaukee and driving throught the ghetto and working with kids from the hood, I felt compelled to tell their story in song. This song is funk like Sly and the Family Stone.
