Archtop song... usually I play this faster... Vocoder for the lyrics... Drums BFD2.

Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.

Last song of RPM album. I'm particularly fond of the last ten seconds. :D

Soothing and sad, a synthesized tune for the lovelorn and loveless. And just those with a perennial tear in their eyes.

A song celebrating the animator for The Teller of the Tale. Music is post-avantgarde neo-progressive rock. New version uploaded 12 Dec 2010

This is the 3rd of the trio of UU auction songs. A love song was requested, so I wrote one based on my wife's favorite china pattern.

No, not those kind of angels. Hope in the dark.

There is a whole class of songs by singer songwriters who gush in various ways about taking the big chance, following your bliss, following your heart, living your dreams, yada yada. These songs are ALL from the point of view of those who are…

Another downer, what can I say? Oddly enough though, it makes me smile.

Probably the single saddest song I ever wrote. This album is kind of a combination of hope and longing and loss. This one is definitely about loss.

This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…

i just want to push through but i keep seeing your favorite foods. i can't get you out of my head so i bring up some sweet epitaph and when i said i would love you forever i meant it but now i also love someone else and i need to stop living…

life is always better with a little bit of tension. i think that we will make good friends because my life’s complex and you’re already taken.

you take me as is you don't mind a work in progress you say my flaws make me attractive you take me as is (thank you wikipedia)

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

i'm not afraid of being alone i just like the company in a forest with no one around tears are dry and wounds don't bleed

cheating is the main way bad communicators chose to end it and since we’re not taught to talk it is an epidemic

I was thinking about Haiti... i don't know what to say i don't know how to feel when i'm way over here and things are going well my house is standing still my friends are still alive the smell of spring is in the air and i just can't connect…

Another free jam, stream of consciousness type thang

One of only two tracks on the album where loops were used more than instruments, or at least as much.

Many of the most harmful things seem small and/or innocuous.

I have a love for solid, well-crafted love songs. Unfortunately, that's not what you're going to get here!

Daft Punk and Wire hire Le Tigre for an homage to Bert Convy. And the password IS 'raincoat.'

This is a song from my ill-fated 2010 RPM Challenge album. I really don't like much about this except the drums, I'll probably use them to make an entirely new track.

White walls, bare wooden floors.

Instrumental

...all one and the same.

A track from my 2010 RPM album. This is the 2nd installment of the Fear Trilogy.

Another track from 2010 RPM Album. This is the first track in the Fear Trilogy. I wish I had the time to edit it down a bit more but I still think it would make great background music for a haunted house display or Halloween party...

Album: The End of Happy Endings Year: 2010 (RPM) Written by: Damian Lethbridge

This was made with the help of the dinosaur-obsessed Laura Turner who wrote the lyrics, and Chris Harrison who played the blistering guitar solo \m/

written and recorded for rpm 2010.

You’re taking me down Breaking me down again Circling around Spinning toward the bottom It’s a place we know Where we always go We can’t get lost We know the way Do we crave the dark Long for misery Embrace the end To only rise again

written and recorded for rpm 2010.

This song is made entirely from samples from Left 4 Dead 2. Valve, please don't sue!

An anthemic rocker to close the show.

Like a Persian rug, only less cosy on the feet. Watch out for shamanic encroachings!

One serious track. It's not like me at all, but there it is.

Fun, Spacey, and *nearly* Infinite :)

I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…

this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!

eeeek last minute songs still arriving ....

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets]. A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times. This is the one act musical version. I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.
