Sara Lee
Pitch for a theme song for Sara Lee Corporation, but the song was too “edgy” and was not actually “played” for them.

Revisiting an earlier demo, this time it sounded a lot more like it should. RC plays great drums, I do my best Elvis Costello impression on the keys.
Delay Inevitable
Didn’t dive too deep; came up jaunty. It wasn’t easy to fit “inevitable” in like that but if Dylan can do it, so could I.
Word Is Out
Another song we developed from a demo of mine, this one features us beating on the air ducts with sticks to make percussion loops.
Lionize
I’ve never been quite sure where I stole the chorus at the end from but I’m pretty sure it’s been done before. The first half was built onto that, drawing on Guided By Voices for inspiration. Another surprisingly disciplined mix.
Hello! Video Theme
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.
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.
