A serious moment in the middle of a silly record. I took the death of my neighbor harder than I thought I would.

A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams. Tim played the roles of Simon, Nik, and Andy. Grant was Roger. Matt Parker was John. Tess and Meg were Pepsi and Shirlie. And Gary Fox played the role of Andy Hamilton.

A love song about the captain of a Canadian curling team. Yes, Valerie is a real person. Featuring Domino of The Jet-Black Project on bass.

When I first put this track together, it was for a celtic music band. I found out 1., celtic bands have a habit of imploding, and 2., the whistle tracks were frequently in the wrong key. So, I dusted this track off, dusted off an old Yamaha…

I completely changed the arrangement of this song. Again. Previous versions included a wall of acoustic guitar. Out goes the guitar, in comes the trumpet and drums...

The signature RPM song for this year. Catchy, topical. Sung by a room full of peeps!

Song written and programmed in 2000, for the Love Songs and Other Freaks of Nature.... Y'know, some songs don't end up being true....

Also written circa 2000. Updated lots of stuff on this track besides the usual (re-doing vox, etc.), like GUIRO and VIBRASLAP and SHAKERS.

Redone with a new arrangement, new (non-uvula-infected) vocals, and a whole host of tweaks... Now 20% more SPARKLY, and what I'd originally intended before my uvula was infected....

Thanks to Brian McCloskey for the lyrics on the this one.
