Comedian 03:22
lyrics

Slummin' around where spirits are down and almost out, Where nobody goes and everyone's clothes could use some Shout, Some dreadlocked guy pulled me aside to bum a smoke, He said "Lighten up, it's all a corrupted running joke." Comedian take me for a walk, Come on man, help me roll the clock, I'm punching in but I wanna stop, Take me for a walk. I feel like a tool, like some April fool who's stuck in March, A slap-happy junk rummaging through junk that's over-charged. The voice of reason won't admit when it lies to you, A taste of treason with a kick that surprises you, I'm not that sure that I have what it takes. Comedian take me for a walk, Come on man, help me roll the clock, I'm punching in but I wanna stop. Take me for a walk.

Monsters Don't Exist 03:15
lyrics
buy track
I'm a monster from an under-budget film, With the Goodwill face paint, I don't look too convincing but I have heart. There's some fake blood sitting with my toothepaste, Near a bottle of Prozac and some self-help post-its I keep on the mirror. 'Cause they replaced a Frankenstein with a Calvin Klein in Hollister clothing, They bleached out all his bloody teeth and made them clean, For public showing, Try to look in my eyes and tell me that monsters don't exist. Got an Ed Wood movie on cassette tape, And my Wolf-Man lunch box, I keep some pringles there inside to make fake teeth. I notice all your dirty looks and your crooked books and cardboard buildings, You see the world in black and white and full of fright and always reeling, Try to look in my eyes and tell me...

about

Early examples of my music, these songs are the epitome of DIY home recordings. From raw sound clips to experimenting with unique recording settings, this collection captures that Indie Indy feel. Some mistakes are left in the mix to retain what I considered authenticity, and as a slight revolt against the perfected projects we can now achieve using technology (which isn't really what music is about to me). In fact, I used a phone to record "Lovely." Everything else, however, was recorded (similarly to my second album) on a Tascam 8-track recorder. Some of the crowd favorites are "Blue Moon"; "Monsters Don't Exist"; and "Lovely." I hope you enjoy these examples of potentiality.
