Track 8 from the RPM 2009 challenge album.

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any? I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and sweet.

I've never heard "Horse with No Name" all the way through, and i wasn't trying to rip it off, but i really like the melody i wrote for this and it turned out to fit perfectly with the sound of the bass. Really proud of my composing on this track…

This was supposed to be my "folky" track, but I love the way this turned out. It was originally written Napalm Shoot up but My Chair took it's place on that album.

Drinking coffee at my modest kitchen table around noon, after just waking up, I starred out the skinny window next to my door and saw the back of a stairway. These Lyrics were partly inspired by Bukowski's style, partly remnants of growing up…

A couple months in a metal band called Season's Legion inspired this song. The lyrics were written in what we (Katie Lawrence Co-wrote) thought would be what their singer would have written for this type of song. The title was supposed to be…

Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This was written as a poem before I started writing Slumber Love.

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned out great. Maybe a little too Velvet Underground. Maybe nothing is ever too Velvet Underground... Written just for Abide.

Supposed to be the biggest joke on this album, Candle turned more into an actual like-able song. I was trying to make fun of Sonic Youth stuff, but it ended up growing and becoming an instant Mud Octave classic track. The Lyrics were written…

This is one of the songs I wrote for Filthy Time that's been hiding in the back of a notebook waiting for music to be chugged out. I'm really glad I let this seep for a while before letting loose.

2. "This Wall Within Me" exposes the struggle to overcome one's own limitations during the RPM challenge. Story (and struggle) by Mick, music by Alan Hall

3. This is the "preferred" track from the 2008 challenge, and I think it stands well by itself. It is the narrative climax to the piece. Thanks, Mick!

brainstorming. voice belongs to Sister Savage. I hijacked it from some audio notes she sent for a song we are working on. The guitars and percussion were written and recorded in an hour. They replaced a previous musical section that I spent…

This is a song that I wrote. Once again I am playing all of the instruments and doing the singing. The style has been described as a mixture of Depeche Mode and the Human League, but I don't know why anyone would think it sounds like the Human…

This is nothing to do with what I've been doing.. The truth is I was bored and turned on my roland juno-d and I started mixing up some sounds and well this is it, I know its not my musical area but wanted to try...
