this is out of the vault.  I  think recorded this on a 486 (maybe a Pentium 1) in my bedroom, bahaha.  

I used to have massive latency issues because of the computer... I thought I couldn't play in time. 

Mixed signals

Meredith napalm death jr rough demo

Grabbed it from one of my old soundclouds.  on Thursday to align with the spirit of the internet, I figured I'd start posting old stuff. 



Late night 
drive out
past the city's
defined bounds
far away 
from the noise pollution
And the lights'
hypnotizing illusions

I'll keep to myself
I'll keep this to myself
Won't share with no one else
I'll keep to myself

Legal pad
# 2,
in my hand
trying to move
up and down
forming letters
I pray to god
It turns out clever

I'll keep to myself
I'll keep this to myself
Won't share with no one else
I'll keep to myself

But I want recognition
I want to be seen
to keep this to myself would do
nothing for me.

(Throwback Thursday) Crafting - Kelley Karas

Don't think cause you're a man
that you're better than I am
cause you're not

Don't sit and politic
dredge up all the stupid shit
Cause it's fun
to blame
anyone
who's not the same
gender in the workplace 
you disgust me
what a shame..

its so dumb
machismo
it's  so wrong
machismo\
like you dont know
machismo
get a grip
on your pprejudice

its so lame
machismo
a stupid game
machismo\
like you dont know
machismo

power trip
for an idiot

Don't think cause you're a man
that you're worth more than I am
cause you're not

Resolute

I just wanted to help
I couldn't stop myself
from lending a hand
in the kitchen, my friend

You needed some grease
to calm the skin of the beast
The microwave was a way
to melt the butter
save the day

Hey
I don't need a plate
I don't need a bowl
I don't need anything
but the package from which it came
I am not a chef
how was I supposed to know
The box isn't adequate
to catch the fatty flow
 
I just wanted to help
I couldn't stop myself
from lending a hand
in the kitchen, my friend

Maybe there's a mess
I promise that I did my best
Salvage - what's at stake is that supper will be delayed

We can take a ride
if you want
Hop a train
and get off
at an exit
we rarely go
Forget the world
that we know

Sometimes
I feel so lame
Like there's something wrong we me
I'm not excited
by anything
And I fantasize about leaving
everything behind

I've had the dream
More than once
I'm on a fence
Loosing my balance
But I can't decide
which side to fall
Wrong or right,
It's still at fault

Sometimes
I feel so lame
Like there's something wrong we me
I'm not excited
by anything
And I fantasize about leaving
everything behind

Once in lifetime
opportunity
A gold paved pathway
right in front of me
But I'm running through the grass
judging the future by the past
If I can't be happy withmyself
there was never hope for someone else.

Don't be passive
just be agressive
Don't play tired games
to mess with my head yeah

It's impressive
how suggestive
you try to come off
obviously you're pretending

Like you know more than I do
Good for you
That's a great way of making friends
and  acquaintances while influencing
or others you've just met

Don't insult my intelligence
Don't insult my intelligence
And I'll do the same for you.

Status quo
it's all about who you know
To take a leap
you have to keep
your finger on the pulse

of what's popular
whether it's topical
or deep
the constituency is fickle in belief

Like you know more than I do
Good for you
That's a great way of making friends
and  acquaintances while influencing
or others you've just met


Dont Insult My Intelligence

Oh Yeah Maybe Baby (the Crystals cover)

Not much to describe.  It is a very quick live cover


Used To Love You (Gwen Stefani rockish cover)

Live guitar/vocal  take with a solo added later + a couple background parts.
It's crazy
the way you still want me
after all the things I've said
I've been mean
i've been
cruel
Totally not cool
Yet somehow we're  better friends

I don't know how to pulla punch
it always connects
The knockouts/casualties kept piling
but somehow you're exempt

You got a steel jaw
and an iron will
determined to love me still
until the end
of time
the final days
always so sure you're gonna get your way
(and that's okay)

you suit me
like no one else
yet i can't seem to get overmyself
i need some help
the kind you're willing to give
you're awesome amazing 
You're driving me crazy 

I'm not worth the effort
still I apprecite the gesture
Even if it's conjecture displayed without a censor

Steel Jaw

It's unfair
It's not right
I don't know how you can sleep at night

You insist
Because you can
You're simply able
because you are a man

You don't get the arm rest
You should have booked a different flight
keep your knees in your seatpath
I'm taller than you
you must be aching for a/There will be a bloodbath/are you looking for a fight?  You aree not 6'5"

Where's your manners
Did you ever learn to share
The space between is room to breathe
You do not belong in there

Now're so entitled
You didn't ask
You've overstepped the boudaries
With your foot on my backpack


You don't get the armrest
stop calling the stewardess
I'm not afraid of your threats
You don't get the armrest

Economy Class

You're a masterful
multilevel marketer
you "sell" lu la roe
and claim yourself
an entrepreneur

challenge your friends and family
to spend while you collect dividends
On the latest in trends

Acting like it's charity
and there's some sort/form of scarcity (Self inflicted scarcity)
it's all imagined
and hyped for fashion
(Cash in Cash in)
Made in america 
There's an asterisk
after it
"only when the optics  benefit"

It's no different than those that came before
scores of branded products
sold from door to door

MAry Kay (hey hey)
Makeup, Knives and vaccuum cleaners
it's all the same system
If you're a true believer


Ride your fucking unicorn
across an obnoxious pattern
the quality is average
And the products fail to flatter

You're a masterful
multilevel marketer
you "sell" lu la roe
