I'll let the lyrics explain the idea.

I’M SO MATERIAL
(c) JunkHeap Oct 19 2025

I’m sort of old school, trying to live my life,
but it’s changing so fast I’m going cross-eyed.    
I wish I had all of the things that I see on my screen.
I never seem to be happy without them in my room.

Looking at the screen with the blinds all the way down.
I go outside and spend a bit of time looking at my phone,
while the beautiful world passes me by.  
Shopping online oh ya.  
Pretty girl gives me a smile,
but I’m staring at my phone waiting for a reply.

I’m so material.  Just want a little more.
Forget the mindfulness.  We want to consume it all.

Spending money I don’t have,
then spend a little more.
until the bills eat me alive; 
while the world buzzin’ like a beehive.
Not sure how I’m going to survive.
Never enough to satisfy.

Thrill of the purchase, 
done with the splurging,
telling myself I need to pull the reins.
Lights a flashing; ad enticement;
much excitement; cash exchanged.

Never seen a moment, like this. 
Like a drug in the veins, such bliss.
but it’s more than that,
We’re all matter of fact,
Missing that something that resonates.

Pretty girl doesn’t give me the time,
because I’m begging on the street,
sitting in the grime.

I’m so material.  Just want a little more.
Forget the mindfulness.  We want to consume it all. 
...consume it all.

I'm So Material

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer

In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances and sometimes house party's but at the time, it was electrifying. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.

Progressive Metal Guitarist, Drummer, Bassist, and Keyboardist.

The name JunkHeap came from creating song ideas and leaving them for later, and then picking through the junk heap of ideas to enhance a new song idea.  Explore my discography, find something you like.  

All of my albums on Soundcloud have been reduced to a sampling of a few songs.  The complete albums are available on all streaming sites.

JunkHeap is a solo, alternative rock music project.  Unapologetic, thought-provoking, emotionally raw music for the masses...

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.

Thx for visiting and listening, I am an amateur guitarist, play a little keybord, bass and drums too. I love music.
