Moving
Originally pitched as a theme song for U-haul, but rejected. Their loss, your gain.
Satellite of Nothing
Contract work for NASA. Expected to be part of the first manned trip to Mars.
Something on the Way
Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
Loveshirt
Around this time I’d started recording some music with a band, and I had found myself unemployed, so I took advantage of all that free time to make an album. It was a concept album only in the sense that I made the whole thing in a short period of time, so it kind of…
Babylon
We kind of considered this the end of the “album.” Seemed like we were ending on the right note.
Diabolickal
Not only did this track provide us with a name for our act, but the laid-back groove gave us our second video, which is sufficiently abstract that I think it holds up pretty well.
Electrick Eel
This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Swimmin
I think we were playing a melodica. Neat instrument. I didn’t realize when I bought it that it was often associated with dub, but it’s fun to play.
Trio
“Me, myself, and my microphone” sang Lee, basically just freestyling over the beat. We did a bit of editing and called it a track!
