i thought that if you had an acoustic guitar…

Temporarily Not the K-Man With all due respect to Pete Seeger, I'm not a big fan of folk songs or protest music though I can certainly see their purpose. Maybe it's just those 'round the neck harmonica holders...they look like evil orthodontia from Patrick Bateman's closet to me. I initially intended this blog entry to … Continue reading i thought that if you had an acoustic guitar… →

hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

Goodbye to Summer (Version) Two goodbye songs in one month, hooda thunk? Summer deserves a send-off as well, and despite the big ugly mess it was on the Jersey Shoreline CD, I always liked this song for some reason and so decided to give a shot at re-mixing it to see if it might be … Continue reading hey, that’s no way to say goodbye →

draggin’ the line

Goodbye Old Maple A few weeks ago, we had to take down one of the old maple trees, the one by the patio. It was a siamese twin of a tree at one time, its counterpart having been removed a few years back due to the illness which finally invaded this one. Like most any … Continue reading draggin’ the line →

golden living dreams of visions

Lion Water Sign In the Zodiac, the sign Aquarius is known as the water-bearer, and is almost always depicted as pouring water from some small vessel he's been toting around. And yet, for some astrological reason, Aquarius is an air sign (as opposed to a water sign which, I think, would make much more sense). … Continue reading golden living dreams of visions →

low rider is a little higher

The Whole Point July has been weird. Filled with malfunctioning tires, computers and airplanes - as well as guests both welcome and not (sure, raccoons are cute and they can really take you down with those little faces, but the hours they keep could make a shy bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder) … Continue reading low rider is a little higher →

bodies…i’m not an animal

Everyone I Know Has A Body It's been said that the only reason we have bodies is so we'll be able to take our heads to the places they want to go. That's kind of funny when you think about it, but it implies the body is just a shell - a container - for … Continue reading bodies…i’m not an animal →

syd meets the marble tea

Alphabet (written by Syd Meats) Some of my favorite songs are witty, British and short. Much of that probably owes to a childhood love for the infectious tunes of Herman's Hermits and the chance discovery of Monty Python's Flying Circus on PBS in the early '70s. I became a die-hard Anglo-fan with a short attention … Continue reading syd meets the marble tea →

a new free single for tax day!

MP3: Good In Black (5.1 mb) Hey, before you check out the new free blog song, let me tell you about the new free Marble Tea single. I'm calling it the Back in Time / Demi Moore Single since the song titles themselves are rather long. On the A-Side we have The Girls Who Went … Continue reading a new free single for tax day! →

the final countdown

Don't Look At Me That Way At the risk of ending up like George Oscar Bluth II (GOB), banned from the Magicians' Alliance for revealing the tricks of the trade, I am going to tell you how easy it is, my dear friends, to become your own personal pop star. This month's song (sketch, really) … Continue reading the final countdown →

life goes on within you and without you

Faces on a Train You know how sometimes you'll be having a conversation about one thing and several minutes later you'll be talking about something totally different and you think "How did we start talking about that?" and when you look back through the topics you discussed you see how one thing led to another … Continue reading life goes on within you and without you →
