An incomplete selection of music I've played on.

Selected Session Work

Another work in progress from some of our last home recordings at the end of last year. This song came to me in a dream, David Bowie was like a lounge singer/waiter or something in a restaurant I was eating in, and was just singing "Hoola Deranged" to that melody. It was perplexing. He then spilled water on me.

Clinton Degan: vocals, guitar; Frank Hegyi: drums, SPD11, percussion; Maxwell Butler: piano, organ, theremin; Curtis Killian: guitar, vocals; Abram Taber: bass;

Recorded at home with initial engineering by Luke Sullivan.

Lyrics by Curtis, Degan and Frank:

hoola deranged

queen of the strange
a fish in the drain
yeah she's all of these things

you've got nothing in your brain
just mechanical pain
an expensive display

yeah you might be insane
or partly unchained
i think god made you that way

come on on
come on on
come on
 
hoola deranged

perpendicular plane 
beezelbub's play
in a backgammon game

yokahoma by train
see the hoofchamber maid
in her bilbo beret

little peach giant james
peanut butter in flames
with a side of raisins

come on on
kimono
kimodo
comode

hoola deranged

vernacular saint
elbow scratchy with grain
and a new coat of paint

the ol' in out of phase
put you back in your plaze
in a cortizone daze

forget what i say
just be on your way
with the hoola deranged
