mission has failed reprise (with Video)
I've posted this song here previously, but I wanted to share the video I made for it with the help of my lovely and talented assistant Jacob Guza. Hope you enjoy.

Untold Demons
I unearthed the very first song I wrote in 1986 and flinched at all the clueless chord progressions my 14-year-old self used. But I could sense some potential behind a few of the ideas. So I reworked it extensively and brought out more of the subliminal inspiration that went into: mid-'80s Heart. [more inside]
Stars
I took a second crack at this not-a-love-song from my 2002 collection "Same As It Never Was." [more inside]
dance in the ruins - vampire deer
song 4 of 10 of the rpm 08 album wolf moon
One of the Perks of Being a Well-Known, Albeit Ineffective Superhero
This is the fourth (and maybe final) People Will Blink song posted on this page. This one is definitely a prog-rock tune. It's about a day in the life of a superhero who doesn't really.... do anything. But there's an epic battle at the end. [more inside]
Julianne
Just a song about a girl. [more inside]
Disease
This was my favorite song during my time with Suneral. [more inside]

Wasted Hearts
A love song to the state of Michigan. [more inside]
It's Nedroid!!!
Nedroid's unofficial theme-song (with official, Nedroid-penned lyrics!)
About five years ago (in the early stage of my mefi lurking) my good buddy, TheMadJuggler asked me to throw together a little tune for his net-buddy, Nedroid. Here's a pretty faithful version of the song I came up with.
I post this as the last song recorded in my shitty little Haverhill apartment, as a fan/love letter to a fine cartoonist. [more inside]
Beauty of Love
This song is from the band I have been with for the longest, LOX-P, and was recorded at the same studio and under the same conditions as the last song I posted, War Waltz. On this recording I am the bass player, however I wrote the guitar line as well. Hope y'all like it. [more inside]
Ambient Evil
My husband and I are writing and playing music together. We're just starting to do some recording. Here's one of our first attempts. [more inside]
Jetpack
This is the first song off our new album, The Continuing Adventures of the 23rd Century in ... The 23rd Century. [more inside]
Ask For Me By Name
A little alterna-power-pop from the 90s. [more inside]
War Waltz
"The tribes of war are rising again, they're brutal and raw and lying the same"
That's my favorite line of this song. Warning: turn your volume down it's quite loud ;)
The song was recorded in one day and mixed on the next along with 2 others for the band's first demo Cold Day Waltz. [more inside]
Venom
This is a southern rock song about starting over, shedding your skin. It's my favorite song that I have ever recorded, and one of the first ones I ever recorded as well. [more inside]
Till I Can't Run No More
Another song from yet another band I'm in, The Eric Weiler Band. Generally the quick-and-dirty go-to description many people find for us is along the lines of "Tom Waits singing for the E Street Band." Make your own call. I play the Hammond.
Sissy Mean Jeans
Android is the new Gay... [more inside]
All the Same
Another time-warp alt-rock bruiser... [more inside]
Dusk
A track from my new project called Mustache, as seen in the phrase "In Space, There Is No Mustache". [more inside]
(8-Bar Wake) Before an Irish Funeral
First song off of the new People Will Blink record. This song was written about 3 years ago and went through many transformations before it began to sound... well... listenable. When we played this song live, Azeem used a vocoder during the bridge. He forgot it in California when we recorded, so we used a clarinet, melodica, and recorder in it's place. [more inside]
Erase It
Rounds
A song about a night out on the town [more inside]
Bananas
Kinda Panda? - Bananas [more inside]
Ghosts and Robots
Or "Hooray for the Humans"
a meditation in Post-Apocalyptic Folk-Rock!
Every now and then, someone favorites (or unfavorites) this little line, which I dropped as a comment on a great post about the world after humans. It's actually the opening line to a song I've been mean to post forever. Here's the cleanest version I've got so far. [more inside]
Chester
This is the intro to a song my band has played live a few times. Live, I do it with loops, although it's not quite this developed. This is another Pro Tools experiment, thanks to the wonderful Swem Library Media Center.
Some Other Boy/Girl
Wherein I discover you can lyrically abstract and obscurely rearrange an interpersonal situation, but you can't make it blink. [more inside]
Modern Love
Wherein I decide to do weird things to my favorite Bowie song as I learn how to use Garage Band. [more inside]
i'm a piece of hell
I'm a piece of hell, burning like a champ. I'm in love with you. I don't know exactly what you're supposed to do about it.
(it's a touch noisy) [more inside]
Too Much For Me
A goofy little rocker from a few years back. [more inside]
Had Enough
Here is a song off of an EP I just released. [more inside]
Ghost
Um, here's a song I wrote in my bedroom/basement. [more inside]
Nothing to Say
This is an alt-country-shanty by The Mulligrubs--the band I play bass in. They let me play piano, too, sometimes. We're playing a show tonight in Boston, MA. There's more examples of our smoothness on our MySpace page. [more inside]
At The Airport
Another song from my forthcoming album "Save You From Yourself", featuring my buddy Michael Spaly on mandolin. [more inside]
Brooklyn Cars
Recorded with lots of bleed to 2" analog tape in a very cold studio in an old barn upstate New York (and vocals, keys and other overdubs done in a warmer environment back in NYC), this is a song about fan culture in the internet age. Sorta. And fun. [more inside]
Order of the Dual
Riff-heavy rock/metal, from a long long time ago. Lyrics inside. [more inside]
cakewalk and the pocket lights
Quick little ditty about the joy of watching shitty bands in Northampton.
Still not sure how I feel about this one. Little help? [more inside]
Lazy Susan
Our bass player wrote this song about a little girl in Afghanistan, probably the closest we come to a political song
Three In The Morning
This song was written about a friend with too many loser friends.
No Other Way
A song we wrote about a month before we recorded it last August, with lyrics by our singer Red
gone
I think this is one of the catchier songs I've come up with in a while, though I never seem to be a good judge of that. At any rate, it's a short and simple track about intense love gone missing... or something like that. [more inside]
Surfer Girl
No, not that Surfer Girl. I wrote this years ago back when the internet was still pretty new and AOL chat rooms were becoming popular. Recorded on my first Mac with no bass and a drum machine that I had absolutely no idea how to work.
Tryptophantastic (2007 edit)
A happy happy holiday fuzzy buzzy song. Play at loudish volume. [more inside]
in memories
A collaboration with non-mefite Riadsala, who sometimes records bass for me. This is a pretty strange track, with a lot of effects going on, with a weirdish tempo change into the chorus which is backed by something in the vein of guitar shredding. [more inside]
Mothers
One of the earlier songs by Kinda Panda [more inside]
Fairytale
Mostly acoustic strumming. Maybe the simplest song I've ever written - but I like it, for a' that. [more inside]
