Life Through Veils
Old recording from 1990. Music Recorded live, with the middle section and ending being written extemporaneously in the studio, vocals are the only overdubs. Originally 24 track, but this was rescued from cassette, hence the crap quality. I wrote the music and the singer wrote the words and melody. I sang backup. [more inside]
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]
