On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.

You know that I would be a liar

Girl, we couldn…
Justin, The drum on STEPPIN' ON SOME TOES is just poking the bass drum and the snare drum keys on my midi keyboard. Then I quantize it to the 1/16, because I'm lousy at playing on the beat, add some reverb to it and then pull the volume down until it sounds like it's way back there somewhere.
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…
Lyrics and music by Hank Williams Sr., but my cover is in Dm/D, with guitar and bass tuned to Drop D.
KAW-LIJA
Kaw-Lija was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store

LOCOMOTIVE BREATH
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going…

I don't remember a whole lot about this one. I wrote it along with two others in my bedroom at my parents' house, probably in 1993 or 94. I know the idea was to write stuff that I might be able to sing and play at the same time. This was played…
Originally written in my bedroom in 1992 or so. Later rewritten and played by Prime Meridian from 1998-2000. It was basically forgotten about until I found it on a tape in 2004 and brought it out for Break Even.
Written during a spring break writing experiment in 1999. Write one song a day. I did it pretty easily. This is about a photo of my grandmother that I saw at her wake in 1998.
Written at Northeast Broadcasting School as an experiment in replacing recorded sounds with samples. It was played pretty much as is by Prime Meridian in about '99 or '00 or so. It was heavily reworked and played by Break Even from '03-'05 and…
This is a very cool arrangement, with a fabulous rhythm, a sexy bass, a slick guitar, and a gripping vocal line. An excellent mix-down and mastering job. Keep tearing it up and Rock on!
Well it's funky Friday down here in the cellar and James has forced me to get it on…well he hasn't exactly forced me i was willing so here it is for Funky Friday………...
It seems i haven't had a moment ...life is very busy when you have a baby that doesn't want to sleep, i have found........I had a little time tonight to mess about and i came up with a little tune, then i saw this word "Bastardized" and thought…
A very colorful use of sound -- waves spread about like paint on the brush gainst a canvass, moving to and fro. The resulting paint, abstract and sur-real, is quite beautiful albeit with the gloom of late Autumn.

The single coil sound of my new used PRS guitar just got me in the funk. Had this partial riff on a Sony walkman from 10 years ago, decided to fill it out a little.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely....
Lyrics:
One cloudless night, freedom's candle was snuffed
Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he's not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his…

You did a little Marlin Manson like cover. Nice arrangement.
You got the touch. You & gene both.
Always loved this song. The strange buzz is perhaps gonzo attempting to amply the doctor.
How much fun it must be to recreate this old chestnut. What a time that was!
This is groovy.
Such a cool texture.
Old Hank! just a head! LOVE IT!!!!!
Nice rendition of an awesome song!
cool version man!
Dig this a lot - again very earthy, organic quality in what you do.
Nice cover with a sense of your own thing. Nice earth in this Justin.
Have y'all checked out the video?
Great version mate. Dig the guitar.
exploding the jet stream.
Cool.
Cool guitar
Comments made by Justin Otter Guy
Beautifully written and performed, but what a sad truth you've expressed!
Dig! I got off on this one! Rock on!
A rather catchy composition -- I dig the way you think musically. Simply put, you ROCK!
Very interesting lyrics. Diggin' the mood of the music, the way it underlines the words as does the vocals. An altogether powerful composition!
This is a very cool arrangement, with a fabulous rhythm, a sexy bass, a slick guitar, and a gripping vocal line. An excellent mix-down and mastering job. Keep tearing it up and Rock on!
Nailed it! Excellent job! Rock on!
Far out!
Wahwahwonderful! Funkilicious! Deeply groovy. Yeah yeah! Rock on!
I sooo totally dig your approach to this classic. Wondrous! Rock on!
Marvelously groovy! A bit outside the box, and then maybe a few inches away from there! A fun, entertaining, delightful ditty, for sure. Rock on!
You're using sound like paint, generating images in my mind. Tribal, Hypnotic, and Creepy (THC), just like I like it! Groovy and far out -- Rock on!
Oh holy dookie you're a frinkin' guitarist from hell! Wow! You are on fire -- Rock the Hell on!
I sooooo love this! You ROCK! Rock on!
It has an apprpriate name -- I noted the shards right off, keeping a grand rhythm. But I was particularly intrigued by the dangling, melodic noodles.

Nice, tight togetherness, nice mix-down, right professional job -- Rock on!
Groove on! Rich, sweet, rapturing, jazzy, bluesy, funkalicious, gripping. A great compilation with a smooth, slick hand. You're awesome -- Rock on!
Rock on!
Fun!
ROCK ON!!!
