Cover Me With Paint
Rejected pitch for Sherwin Williams. Assumed it would sell a lot of paint…

This song would be rewritten as “Tellina Lie” and performed band-style. Vocals in bridge just had to go.
On a bit of a whim, Lee Armstrong and I ended up making a hip hop album in 2002. I had been playing around with making some beats in Reason, but didn’t have much of a direction. We decided to use the equipment and beats that were sitting around to some good use. We recorded…
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.
This must be my third or fourth take on this song, now with an actual band. It’s certainly well-developed at this point.
During 2002 and 2003, I curated a number of video “shows” in Portland. At first they were all at Bar of the Gods, and so I wrote a theme song (and produced a video). A bit tongue in cheek.
One would think it would be a happy song!
