Of course the last song is about my hometown.

A filler track, obviously. Also, I got a cowbell for Christmas...

I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??

In 5/4-time, in case you're wondering what's wrong with it.

I'm sure I've ripped off the opening lick from somewhere, but I can't figure out where!

Featuring Steve Phillips on the "Left" guitar.

I bought an MXR Bass d.i.+ and I really like it, which is why there's so much bass on this album.

When I visited London I really liked the food, especially the breakfasts.

This is the one song I actually "wrote" ahead of time for the RPM Challenge.

I love my wah pedal.

Archtop Guitar, electric guitar and Roland vocoder. Drums are BFD2 and a tabla I picked up that week at a thrift shop.

Our first song, recorded with an inline computer speaker from a distance, so it's sound quality isn't great, but Nate's performance was. Recorded 2/26/2010

Archtop, electric guitar. No vocoder.. Not so sure on my voice for this one as I had a cold for pretty much the whole month of Feb.. Also think I put too much over all "warm plate" reverb on every track (that was a last minute RPM deadline decision)
