Another in the holiday calendar series, this is of and for Kerry my sweetest. Not so afraid of love songs after all, I guess.

Sweetest Day

On one 3rd Saturday of October
the candy came to those with none

In those dark pre-Christina-Hendricks-on-MAD-MEN days of 2006, I spat this song out of frustration with a culture that seemed to be literally starving out a generation of the young and talented. But... a straight guy ranting about female body image…

The 32nd piece I worked on with my digital 16-track is an instrumental using the Moog MG-1 into the Boss GT-3 "riff" setting, while also recording a raging thunderstorm through the window.  "32" is also the title because of a…

This song came quickly and in a single piece, as if straight from the hangover of Athena.  For those of you that don't like puns, here are some puns... with booze!

"Break" is another in a long line of cases where a lyric gimmick tricks me into revealing my state of mind.  I'm grateful that I'm still this subconsciously gullible after 23 years of writing songs -- many of my favorites…

This song started when I realized I'd never written a song that prominently featured me singing "ooooooo." So I decided I would, and what would be good to rhyme with "ooooo"? "Papathanassiou," the surname of Aphrodite's Child keyboardist, Jon Anderson…

I've been writing songs about various holidays for many years -- some day it's likely that my Greatest Hits album will be a calendar...

This is the first song I've ever written starting from a Facebook status update.  "Dolph…

Here's me trying to laugh through my anxiety attacks.  Most of my immediate family has dealt with anxiety disorders; I've fought them since I was 13.  At the most anxious periods in my life, I have experienced hallucinations, many involving…

It started as a joke.  I just couldn't resist the idea of singing a love song about refusing to sing love songs because of love-song phobia.  Then I fleshed it out with references to other phobias and superstitions, and in…

One of 3 short interstitial instrumentals I used to break the album into sections.  Telecaster --> Boss GT-3 --> board.  Basically one marching chord, with a couple of mutations.  The title is because this was the 37th song recorded on…

Did you think I'd forgotten you?  Never fear.  Just dealt with a mind-fogging cold and some other energy drains for a few weeks.  Back to comments about the tracks on GLASS BREAK DEMENTIA.

"Queen For A Day" started with the…
