This is the first song that was completed with vocals by Vinyette. It is inspired by a dream or nightmare really. The scene is set in purgatory, which happens to be a dark subway train running at full tilt into an abyss of track lighting. The…

I know, another terribly clichéd title... I'm just bad at naming them, I guess...
I just kinda sat down and wrote this one in over the past few hours... I liked it, so I'm uploading it... Or maybe I'm falling back to uploading everything... I…

A cover of a 2010 RPM Challenge song by A Beautiful Scene. Lyrics:
Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times
And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…

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.
Uploaded
I really feel that love and compassion are much more important than physical beauty and this song is about that belief. It has a Stevie Wonder R&B feel to it.

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.
Uploaded
I became fed up with all the half truths and lies that the nationw was told by Bush Jr. and had to put my frustrations to music. The feel of this is New Orleans Blues.

This is a John Lee Hooker feel that is fun to dance to.

This is a heavy, dirty shuffle that I wrote after reading some pretty heavy stuff about the poor in the US.

This song is has an old school blues medium shuffle feel.

I wrote this song for a singer that used to be with the band. After you listen to it, you'll get a good feel for her. This is a Delta Blues feel.
Uploaded
This is a gospel blues feel that evokes the emotion of the title.
Uploaded
This has a Delta/Muddy Waters feel to it and it was fun to record. The E stands for my daughter's name Ehlona and the A for my wife's name Amy and both the song and my home feel a bit like a train.

My bass player at the time really loved thick women and so I wrote him a song. It's him singing on this one.

This is the first version of the song we recorded with our original singer.

This song was written by the bass player and is a massage for the ears. This has a jazz/blues feel.

This is a John Lee Hooker feel that we just jammed on in the studio. I don't really like Gritz that much but the name seemed to fit.
Uploaded
This is the title track of this album. I wrote it about a girlfriend my friend had at the time. She was a bit of a gold digger. This is a shuffle with a Luther Allison feel.

To me is very difficult to describe this song, but I like it.

From the Himitsu jam sessions. Electronic punk jazz or almost anything else. A group of 3 to 5 musicians meeting weekly to just play. All improvisation, no planning or themes, just what you bring.

Inspired by a series of springs in the Hill Country, that are said to be so full of life that you can even see the ghosts. Or if you know the right time, the hummingbirds. A recent composition using samples and FS1R.

I know, I know, this one is so unlike all my other stuff. It's hard to believe a raggedy road warrior has this kind of thing in him, but, it's true. I used to wander the wild lands of the west, the red buttes and the lonesome peaks. In my dreams…

This was inspired by my fight (and eventual loss) with the city

This is for the couple that sat behind me while i was eating and were referring to everyone going into the Target next door as "sheeple".

Written after reading an article about Robert Oppenheimer.

Written while watching a good friend going through the run-up to a divorce. This song isn't a whole lot of fun, and for that I apologize... But when all you have is twenty-eight days, you have to go with what you've got.

Power outages, deadlines, and needing to leave home. A Girl Named Sam lends some beautiful vocal harmonies.

I was in a very dark place when I wrote this tune. Now I'm back in the light it sounds very self-pitying, but hey. From 2006 album Too many magpies

Just an old-timey thing I wrote. From 2006 album Too Many Magpies

Playing with reverberation and stretching, part of a larger ambient piece for the RPM2010 challenge. It uses heavilly effected and modified samples and VST Synplant.

Late night, last piece from a Himitsu session. Very laid back. All electronic. Recorded on minidisc and rescued later from a random hard drive.

A pop song without the 'ular' about the struggle of the addict and the feeling of obsession.

I figure if I keep trying long enough, I'll start channeling the great Django Reinhardt. Perhaps it's like squeezing blood from a stone but if I get a drop or two, I'm happy with that!
