note: it’s been over a year since i’ve posted any music. during that time i’ve recorded and mixed a new album, ‘monday songs,’ which will be out on the lazy bones label, aug 1. i’ll put a link up at that time. between now and then i hope to add a few more songs: i’ve missed doing this.
monday song #68: debbi wallace
here’s the flipside of chump’s first single.
it was the world’s first double b-side. gallow’s humor to the end.
monday song #67: stoopid
[WARNING: Music should be played very loud.]
“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.
monday song #66: (pump up the) valium
i’m going to let this one speak for itself.
monday song #65: another perfect day
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!
monday video #1: ghost story
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.
monday song #64: her beautiful balloon
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.
monday song #63: the garlic eater
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.’
monday song #62: newark state of mind
once he was in love.
once.
but not anymore. far from it.
it was all the touching.
monday song #61: 12-yr-old
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.
