"The Disco Song"

take what you want
take what you want
they can say what they want… about me

(song for the innocent!  )

in the city we see many personality types
some see life in shades of gray -- others black and white
but of all the types in Myers-Briggs i hold a grudge
the one i most dislike i like to call the party judge

because you dont fucking know me... at all
and yes, I'd like to find a job, but it's just that
i dont wanna live like all the people who dont live except brief minutes of their lives between their husbands and their wives and jobs then for the briefest instant  as the sun catches their eyes that's when they realize their lives have been for nothing all this time and then they
spend five minutes with me and then diss me call me a hippy like it's my fault that i can't
have their holy office job security
and watch youtube in a cubicle with my fat boss
who laughs at cats that dance with babies who sing in praise of the next generation of Ipad!

yeah, but it's like that!
all they need is a trigger sometimes

it's just like that
all the judges really need is a trigger
some little thing you do or say

it's like that
all George Bush needs is a trigger

it's like that
all the judge, jury & executioner needed was a trigger

take what you want
take what you want
take what you want
take. what. you. want.

"The Disco Song" (live w/ band Chimp Mode

It feels like channeling… sometimes when I sing it’s like different energies come through me. Maybe it’s me, but it sometimes feels really crazy.. like it genuinely comes from somewhere else..Some of this music sounds really different.  It’s all my songwriting and singing  —-some of what I’ve uploaded here comes from my solo prowhich — these are songs I’ve written, performed and produced on my own.. but also some stuff with bands I’ve been in, whom I credit and respect their collaboration. I hope you enjoy some of these songs, or connect with the music in some way. …oh yeah, I feel like SoundCloud is kind of a special place, which makes me feel like it’s ok to share hidden, unreleased or alternative tracks that I’ve never released officially on major commercial platforms… I guess that makes it a bit rough around the edges sometimes in terms of production.. but also more excitement in the unpredictability… dig it!
