Bar of the Gods
During the year I was making a lot of this music, I also spent a lot of time at this bar. They also hosted my video show every month.
So I wrote them a theme song. Like Cheers. Just like Cheers.

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.

The political theme, and lines like “we are patriotic by design,” were surely rooted in the first term of George W. Bush. It was 2002; after all. This was a demo and I played many of the instruments myself, but Mike Squires pitched in with bass and lead guitar.

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.
See Me Thru
Another retake. Transparent, you might say.
