here’s the flipside of chump’s first single.
it was the world’s first double b-side. gallow’s humor to the end.
it’s a little slower than i remember, and clocking in at barely over two minutes, most of the song is the ending.
but dammit if i haven’t had the chorus in my brain non-stop this entire week. next week too, i’m guessing.
still digging through the old boxes to see if i can find the rest of the tapes.
enjoy!

“we heard you missed us. we’re back!!”
long forgotten and seldom heard, the debut album from chump. (the ‘h’ is backward)
side one. track one.
the untimely demise of drummer roddy myers made me nostalgic.
if the inspiration keeps up, i’ll post other tracks.
enjoy.

this started as an attempt at an original song for the kids to sing for new year’s, as is our tradition. but the further i went, the heavier it got, and in the end, it was just too much fun to resist going all the way with it. this one definitely sounds good loud! More »

as you may have noticed, monday songs has been silent for much of the year. up till the last post, the prime reason has been an overabundance of non-musical work.
but in the weeks since ‘balloon’ i have been actively working on a pair of album projects, each composed entirely of monday songs. i will be releasing something next year, though at the moment, i’m not sure which. More »

he was holding her hand when the world changed.
one moment she was laughing and he was admiring her generous spirit. her freedom.
and then it hit him.
something had changed.
profoundly changed.
this was not the same person.
this was not okay. More »

it’s the first time he’s been alone with her.
he scheduled a six-top conference room to prep a powerpoint deck explaining third quarter dividends. it’s his presentation, but her boss asked her to contribute a pair of slides, 3-d pie charts breaking out revenue by market.
she grabs the monitor plug and connects it to her laptop, ‘i’ll drive.’ More »

once he was in love.
once.
but not anymore. far from it.
it was all the touching.
she liked backrubs, and he was cursed with strong hands. it would have been a perfect match if only he had some patience, if only he liked to give back rubs, if only he found some pleasure in physical contact. it was a task that grew oppressive almost instantly. and when she asked for oil, it crossed the threshold into torture. he tried to breath through it, push on to the other side, but he could never play it off, no matter the intensity or duration, she was always disappointed. he wouldn’t even get credit for the forty seconds when he was nailing it.

he’s twenty-seven.
he sits in his apartment, a movie on the dish.
he pours himself another drink. he likes to get just the right amount of wasted before calling it a night. it takes careful calculation. with the hard stuff, you really have to pace yourself. it’s not about the number, it’s about the speed, and he’s got a nice momentum going. he has at least an hour more fun.
and if all else fails, he has a safety net. work is better with a hangover. More »

at the end of the longest day she can remember, mrs. kelly pulls into the parking lot of the children’s hospital. it’s been years since she’s been here. thirteen to be exact.
she’s tired of being exact.
she starts to climb out before she’s turned off the engine. the car bucks forward and hits the low cement bumper. she couldn’t be any more frazzled than she already was, so she takes it more or less in stride.
she opens the back door and coaxes out a large cardboard box. she has to put it on the ground to close the door again. she hoists the box up and makes her way toward the front door, or at least where she remembers the door to be. the box blocks her view. she shuffles forward, inching her feet slowly, one by one, concerned that she’ll to hit a curb. she really doesn’t need a broken arm to remember this day by. there are other broken things.
