I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…

He just didn't give a shit
Whose life he fucked up.
Poor Jo[h]n, just a pawn,
Revenge his favorite dish,
Always served ice cold.

Piltdown Man, a hoax?
Don't buy it. He is alive
In our midst today.

In a black stretch limousine
And grey flannel suit

Thwarts those who say "nay."
Piltdown buys and sells…

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

For percussion I used objects that were lying around my house at time I recorded this - a pair of scissors opening and closing is one, but i forget the others (it was 12 years ago). The lyrics were pretty much improvised

I promised you the world again
Everything within my hands
All the riches one could dream
They will come from me
I hoped that you could understand
That this is not what I had planned
Please don’t worry now
It will turn around
Cause I need more…
