The first song I wrote for RPM2017, and the first one on this 'album'. It was witten on Ukulele with two whole chords (Chord one is a barre at the second fret, and chord two is all of the strings open). Whilst not the most musically sophisticated…

Written/recorded for RPM2017 (album in a month). This one was written on Ukulele, (well that opening section was), and built upon that. The tongue in cheek lyric, is somewhat inspired by a friend who has recently become single, and isn't all…

Written/Recorded for RPM2017 (album in a month). A bit of a weird song, written on guitar (and it shows). A slightly unsettling chord movement which fights the prettiness at points, I think. The backwards guitar and wailing at the end was…

Written/Recorded for RPM2017 (album in a month). An instrumental, and quite a bit different to much of more RPM output. This stylistically is an area I sometimes work in when making music for media. The reference points when listening should…

Very quick to write and record. Basically done from start to finish in about an hour and a half (I look at the clock). Despite it's brevity, there's quite a lot going on (especially in how exact I've tried to be with the harmonies, and double…

That’s when the circling repeats its the same That's When i'm pulled from love again The face of familial exhaustion how it grabs traction it freezes repetition is so insincere And flattery the faker’s veneer And reputation’s advance…

Background garbage noise. I think someone was playing Overwatch back there.

I'm afraid I'm learning conventions That lead me to untenable positions I create to calculate A fatal fault of these walls A controlled insulation Truth be told you can Take back your broken heart to Make a more imperfect art Truth…

Another weekend working the franchises no surprises here We’re the disaffected mass you can’t excise, get excited From the beat, from your weak mistakes We demand the right to claim No excuses, no surprises that history beats on, that…

I can't criticize So we belong in free fall Will I be attacked I can't stand to be wrong I keep on running down the older avenues of shame Keep finding something new Like meaning in the blame Free play All bonus from here I can…

I like this one, but at the same time... I don't. It's just not quite good enough. Not as good as I was hoping at least. I dropped it from the RPM album. The amp is a Fender Bassbreaker. The rhythm guitar is an ES-335. The lead is a…

I had this thought this year that maybe I will try and come up with drum parts that don't sound very traditional. Sort of like mid-80's Neil Peart kinda things. In the end there were only a few songs that I attempted something. This is one…

A meditation upon painful death.

I love you, Jessie

Big Cliche was on "Psychic Sperm vs. the Profits." We made a sound check file this year and Sean Sheehan put killer keyboards on it so here it is.

Back from their Google Maps tour of the Punjab, Udon Noodles sheepishly present you "Shahi Paneer for the Devil" Who had the extra poppadoms??
