I don't often make digital music, it takes longer than making films! This one minute took about 6 hours, which seems like a long time to me.

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

no one loves me. or the earth. whatever you wanna see it as. Big drum machine use is crucial to hitting the above the toilet line in music.

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it! This is now…

An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.

Remedies are funny things. You want to get better but you don't want to change. This is now a minimally tidied up version of this track 18/3/09

I started this one at the end of januari in preperation for RPM. I added lyrics and vocals in february. So it's kind of a bonustrack. Just another throwaway popsong with the awesome stylophone in full effect.
