Rooms
And never again is heard more and more
Pull the knives from the table and we’re out the door
And you’re alone again and again and for sure
We’ll be back and you know how it feels to be trapped
And never again is heard more and more
With a mask on your face going out for more
And you’re alone again and again and for sure
Your attack will be silent and carefully mapped

Hollow (Demo)
I don’t want to grow up
Don’t want to live for real
I Don’t want to have a coffee cup or office meals
Don’t want to talk a bout the market or the stock exchange
I don’t want to have to talk about your bad day

Paper Eagles (Version 20081202)
Dying to be cryptic in art - Opposite of life
Convinced I’m on the steel table waiting for the knife
And you might do good to hold on for longer than you can
Reread your inhibitions that you drew out in the sand
A million others offer up another fallen sky
I’d like to take a number but the queue is getting high
Preparing for the last day only opens up the door
If I was breathing in the vapors I’d be out for sure
In every single issue of this magazine I die
I wish for silly little things that I can never try
Knock me over, pick me up and leave me on the shelf
There’s never any apex when you know the way it ends
A million paper eagles strung from one end of the fan
The blades and I are spinning and it’s getting out of hand
To overcome a lifetime of a lifetime of a lie
I’m breaking pencils at my desk and I’m still only 5

Yes. Lots. Music related? No, not really.
I have kinda been slacking in the production corner lately. I’ve been busy with shows and general life stuff. Excuses. Excuses. I will have some time this week to hopefully square away a few more tunes to get a proper demo together. Check out the ones selected thus far (they are right in the header, no matter where you are on this site) and leave me some comments with your feedback.
I have decided to pick up where I left off with the Hills & Valley series. After my 2 most recent performances (which both went very smoothly) I have gotten excited to further explore the Hills & Valley sound and process. I’ll be doing VIII - XIII in the second series. I am also exploring means to get the original 7 releases pressed to CD and/or vinyl.
Yesterdays (9/28/2008 edit)
Its been nearly a decade
Now its so far away
I’m still having those flashbacks man
I had had one today
I can still smell that greenhouse
See that smile on your face
We had some good days
Then they locked you away
Thats the funny thing about yesterdays
The feelings close but you can’t reach
The only thing that you can change is your mind
I remember it clearly
I’m sure you do the same
We stayed up for a month straight
Just making drum and bass
I got high and that keyboard
Smashed all over the place
I still have the cassette tapes that
We made for that rave
(True story)
Thats the funny thing about yesterdays
The feelings close but you can’t reach
The only thing that you can change is your mind

I brought So Strange back for my last show and couldn’t help but tweak it a bit.
Here is the most recent version, complete with halftime breakdown and Lil Wayne “Lollipop” style vocal processing.
