2008 Miscellaneous

2008 was a year of rebuilding. in addition to re-recording songs and working on organizing albums, i experimented a little. "(driving in) l.a. (bizarro mix)" was a test in combining analog and digital recording techniques. and, because i love them oh so much, i did another cover of a nofx song, this time with a ukulele and bongos.

"(driving in) l.a" - 7/26/02
(bizarro mix)

driving, driving, driving, driving, driving in la
is making, making, making, making, making me crazy
i wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna kill someone
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme a shotgun

i feel so excluded by this crack cocaine environment
plastic mind and plastic eyes make for a lovely disguise
hold your breath and make a wish, capitalistic selfishness
down rodeo, up sunset, i didn't say start breathing yet

i believe air pollution is slowly driving me insane
stupidity--quick solution--to feel like part of the game

sometimes i close my eyes and feel like floating down
but then i realize my feet are still on the ground



"leave it alone"
(nofx cover, ukulele mix)

breathe
ever so soft
we wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
never alone
cautious afraid
i hear the voice of reason on the p.a.

leave it alone
follow the grain
we couldn't stop the irresistable force
leave it the same
change with the leaves
bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
leave it alone

dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana

breathe
ever so slight
we couldn't take away your god given right
leave it alone, heel and stay
roll over and shake and beg for the bone
leave it alone

dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana
