Dan sings his original song "Curious Night"

Curious Night

Dan plays his James Brown inspired song "Turn Out the Light". This song was inspired by some appliance lights that never shut off. 

Turn Out The Light

This is a tribute to people who had to endure Hurricane Sandy in the U.S. northeast in late 2011. I tried to recognize people's struggles, helpfulness, and optimism in the many days of no water, power, or gasoline after the storm. Here's hoping the song lifts their spirits and serves as a memento of the event. 

Here Comes Sandy

A song about having Burt Bacharach songs stuck in your head. Complete with piano, horns, and violins, just like a real Bacharach song.

Bacharach Attack

Dan plays an original song Submerged. I got a bit spooked by a local news article, a woman's body discovered in a local lake. This song describes some of the events, part true, part fiction. All instruments played by me. 

Submerged

 It started out as an original tune, but then I was strongly influenced by Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock. I give him credit for the melody, but the lyrics, bass, rhythm, and arrangement are me. All instruments (including the highly important güiro and vibra-slap) are done by me. 

Trenchtown Bot

Dan Becker and Aaron Hernandez play a song No Job Today. Together we wrote a song probably based on the fact that Aaron was in Austin interviewing for a job. 

No Job Today

It started with some jazzy chords, but then with the piano solo, it ended up sounding like a Burt Bacharach tune. Oh well, I guess Burt has implanted a chest splitting alien in me.

All instruments played by Dan. Most done in one take except for the vocals with which Dan is never happy.
