An instrumental song about happiness and puppies and vampires and possibly vampire puppies.

How I love my wife . . .

Written while awaiting a CD from one of the artists who participated in the 08 version of RPM.

lyrics: The silence sometimes is all you have to say and I believe it, and you and everything surrounding the skin beneath your eyes Time's without a shield or an attack against the sight of a lifetime that was burning you by And I may…

An ambulance ride through the poor side of town; a delivery of self and social status lyrics: The outside was a barren wasteland; dilapidated houses garbage on the ground And the buildings' aging faces echoed the sirens and her pain across…

a state of denial/hope lyrics: I don't care what bad boys say with their little white lies to keep themselves safe drown themselves in fermentations all good girls go to heaven I don't care what bad boys say with their little white…

From your parents you will learn everything and nothing without even realizing lyrics: Don't look in the mirror, your skin will never seem as soft Don't wait in the middle when your mind is already made up Just make it home, please…

Fun little tune about the evils of strong drink.

Guitar and vocals. Kind of the opposite of last years 'Honey, Why You Stay With Me'.

10 – Strictly Rehearsed. Written 13th Feb. Recorded 13th/14th Feb. More upbeat shenanigans, this time attacking someone’s who’s off the cuff remarks are pre-prepared (and written as crib notes on their cuffs). Info and lyrics at www.butterflypolite…

08 – Feeling Confuzzzed. Written 19th/20th Feb. Recorded 20th Feb. Come on Wembley, let’s see those hands in the air. As poppy as they come, including plenty of la la las to sing along with. I was very pleased with my Harrison-style slide…

05 – Officer’s Mess (March). Written and recorded 2nd Feb. This is as close to beat-boxing as I am able to do. I can only apologise for the smutty pun. Info and lyrics at www.butterflypolite.com/uglifruit

04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb. Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…

03 – Meteorites. Written 2nd/3rd Feb. Recorded 3rd Feb. Inspired by the film ‘Stardust’ where our hero meets a (literal) fallen star. The painful low vocals were particularly fun, and their emotional cracking was acting rather than the fact…

02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb.  Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb. A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…

01 – My Prayer. Written and recorded 16th Feb. Paying homage to ‘Our Prayer’, the opening of SMiLE – the Beach Boy’s album that never was. An extended version of this song appears on ‘28 seconds later’, an album on which each song is exactly…

[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ] When You Least Expect It And you're out to dry And its all too hectic Thats when it comes x 2 And it feels electric And you feel alive Cos when you least expect…

You never let me smile You never let me out of sight You never let me live You never learned you had to give I'm taking it away x 2

Let me introduce to you Every woman child and man The place I did my growing up Raised by grandma's hand I think you'll find That folks are kind They're sure to ask you in Enter the warmth Close the door And my story will begin…

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John The day the world stopped being fair I didnt know what to say so I said yeah. I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand And said friend, only true friends understand He said friend…

I was a babe You was a man and i was a child. Oh and the pain You was a man and I was a child. You shifted the blame Onto the child I never forgave And if you were here you'd see a man gone wild. Through the eyes of a child. x3…

Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be. Caligraphy…

It aint like no ones done this before But how can you tire of beautiful chords In the fifties In Tenessee Where my love was born Two young men upped and crossed the yard both cold cos it was rainin hard. One of them turned said…

This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling. This song uses a lot of layers for bass along with…

This is a serious idea. Gives a good feeling of what this can become.

‘Cut Up’ was a very challenging song for writing bass parts. The guitars in that song are rhythmically dominating. The pay off was a dense piece of music.

We've scrapped many songs but 'Murray' is the oldest song that has survived the test of time.

This was written while living in the studio. For some reason this song seems like music appropriate for a chase scene. This is all bass and drums...no guitars yet. Vic's working on it.

For the RPMC album "Sabbatical"

A laid-back funk instrumental. My habitual place-holder while I work out what else to put up. Music, Guitars & Baritone Guitar - Me! Percussion - DrumsOnDemand

This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.

Cover of original track by Lowell Fulsom

Cover of original track by Beaus of Beethoven.

Cover of original track by The All-Night Workers (early song co-written by Lou Reed and JJ Cale).

You will be asked to take a small survey regarding your feelings at the exit.

Self-esteem to the xtreme. An instrumental track I've redone from scratch from a 2006 version, but still want to completely redo someday.

So, I'm picking up the pace now! Hope the quality is not too ropey...

Yeah, that's a mellotron cello sample. I knew you'd recognize it!

A narrative sound documentary.

Featuring a digital heartbeat, the emulation of an old rhodes piano, and real vocals.

The track is based on an actual 911 call a hacker made to police in Colorado Springs to "punish" the father of a girl who had spurned his advances. I played the call against a short distorted heartbeat-like rhythm run through a Mutron and several…

A track using Creative Commons licensed sounds or ones I created from scratch myself. From the freesound Project I used WHALECRY 2 by mkoenig, and bamboo wind chimes by jppi_Stu. I took 20 copies of the whale song, stretched & chopped them…
