“She Suggested Pittsburgh”, after some words told to me by a cocktail waitress. It’s a lazy country song – that’s what I’m calling it, at least. After being tired of working on the same two songs for the last couple weeks, I took and break and wrote and recorded this one in 1 day. All instruments by me, etc. Enjoy.
Here are 2 of the 3 Christmas songs we recorded a while back. These two ended up on some British compilation last Christmas. The third song was a cover of Hefner’s “The Little Baby Hefner’s Xmas Song For Holland”. I can’t find the mp3 of that one.
Anyway, “Marshmallow World” is based on Dean Martin’s version. “Candy Cane” is an original creation, written by me. Darrin plays bass and drums on it. I think he did a keyboard line on “Marshmallow”, too. Neither of these are personal favorites of mine, but who am I to judge?
Enjoy. Ho ho ho. Etc.
All tracks from the album and EP can now be heard and downloaded by heading to the sidebar on the right.
I know, right? That’s 15 high-quality pop songs, free for the taking.
Calm down.
Well then, here you go.
This was known as the Florida EP. I recorded it all-by-my-lonesome during the Memorial Day weekend in 2006. None of these songs existed prior to that 3-day weekend. My roommates went out of town, leaving me with the opportunity to make a ton of noise (and to borrow their violin, banjo, and shamisen for a couple songs). Instead of working on older material, I decided to write and record 4 brand new songs. The end result remains one of my favorite batch of recordings.
I made 10 copies, then – one week later – gave them away to old friends during a visit to my old stomping grounds in Florida. A fifth song was included with those original copies, but (a) it wasn’t new like the others and (b) it wasn’t very good.

autumn's where it's at.
Fuck summer.
Here is a song to celebrate the ending of summer. Because summer sucks. Hard.
Enjoy.
The Yahoo Media Player is now set up for the site, so you can listen to any of the songs posted before downloading them. Quite convenient, no? (Yes!)
There are currently four songs over on the right that you can listen to. Many more are coming shortly.
We’re switching servers. God – this looks so generic. But switching everything takes time, especially since I’ve also got a full-time job and a music blog to run. Oh, and I got bit by a dog the other day. Yep – spent the whole goddamn afternoon in the emergency room getting injections. How fun! Not as fun as Paris Street, though. We go in through your ears. There’s no pain, no breaking of skin – just sweet, little melodies.
We’ll be up and running shortly, so come back soon. In the meantime, I guess, catch us on Myspace.
Be good.
