your first loss
your first loss well, i've pretty much got a full time job now - which is good news.. but it does make it harder to write. and do second takes. ha!

I Might Be A Station Agent
I Might Be A Station Agent how am i gonna get any of this work done with you distracting me in the background? too much to ignore and you make it oh, such a chore. you push til my anger is found. you push til my patience is drowned and i can barely keep my rage down. a panicky feeling i almost take action but once the word's out i lose traction, back away, and apologize and agonize later about my behavior when really it's yours i despise. i'm not violent by nature. i just have certain expectatio...

Details in the Tea
Details in the Tea the dreamy end-part in this song has a little Amajor to Aminor chord change, which is always nice.. and it would be a bit cooler with live drums at the end, playing a little jimmy chamberlin style.

Significant Cuts
Significant Cuts this song was written last night, sorta on accident.. it was the very first thing that came out when i sat down with a guitar and some words, and it seemed to work right away. and then i dressed it up this morning. and emily came home and played the crazy march stuff at the end....

tiny hand
anybody ever read Pynchon's Slow Learner? it's a small collection of early short stories.. including one that involves Pig Bodine and a junkyard/landfill adventure with elf gypsies.. or something. i love Pynchon. this song doesn't really have much to do with that.. except for the elf girl, i guess. ha! tiny hand

invitation
invitation i wrote this song last night, in the hour and a half between the end of austin city limits (with jack white) and beginning of SNL, which turned out to be a re-run anyhow.. so i recorded a quick version late last night, and then re-recorded it today. yeehaw....

All Shapes
this little guy takes a few twists and turns, all in about 2 minutes.. which is a little bit cool. day three! All Shapes i thought this song was mostly finished when i took a nap today, and when i woke up emily had transformed it into something much cooler.. more expansive and dramatic. so i guess i should take more naps.

an island at least
day two! so far so good. also, the weather in portland is very sunny. an island at least i just shrugged try not to read too much just a little trouble sleeping a bad dream without any meaning oh man to be in fashion having plumb lines to keep.. i saw her through the fences hiding in leaves i think i got an answer: i'll hide her in canyons build massive defenses a few feet of peace we could steal a boat at least conquer an island let the ocean's violence set us free...

week four
well, i found a local MC here in portland.. and that's super cool, but i only found one.. and in the meantime, i made a few more beats. i think these are 'technically' a bit better than my first round, but they also might be a little less experimental.. they're all in a pretty narrow range of tempo, and i didn't include a lot of the failed attempts.. in fact, you might notice many of them use the same drumbeat (and tempo, more or less..). 'cause i'm such a geek for hiphop right now, i wanted to ...
