A sound-collagey tune that preceded my ability to control loops

To Do List

super belated birthday song we wrote for our biffle Dan Cerruti. The lyrics go a little something like this:

Dan we are so glad that you were born
We like every outfit you have ever worn
The stories from your dreams that you must write
Contain the gods all bathing in your light

Happy Birthday
Don't move to LA
(No hate)
((But don't move to LA))

Dan's Song

We'll have a full CD master (i.e. tracks with proper spacing) and a version of "Younger" with the full ending in a couple of days.

On Purpose

A swan song for the L train. And a choice between two different loves.

My L is fine
Do you L my L
Sometimes it sits and wags its tail

Against the nature of your sea, my ship stays at rest
Against the nature of your sea, my ship stays at rest
While you digest the sound of L

Shored up entente
With spit and rain
The L runs with or without a name

Against the rhythm of your sea,
My ship stays at rest
Against the nature of your sea
My ship stays at rest
While you digest the sound of L

Annabelle got married to a figure skater
Bought her a dishwasher and a milk separator
"Can't help but drink," she said, "The leftovers,"
"Desire has nothing to do with L!"
Even stones can be thrown across town
Flattened into earth but stretched wider than the mountains
Grow into it, if you can't do it now
(Grow into it, if you can't do it now) Hell, even the wind on embarcadero skies
(Grow into it, if you can't do it now) Isolated from its other properties
(Grow into it, if you can't do it now) Just won't do
(Grow into it, if you can't do it now) Calico
My L

Against the nature of your sea, my ship stays at rest
Against the nature of your sea, my ship stays at rest

Lyrics:
You're crawling out of your skin
And you know you gotta keep moving, not knowing where you're going
Just gotta get away from this grey dark grey black and white 
Grey dark grey black and white 
You know there's a whole wide world out there
You know because the world wide web told you so
The All Seeing Eye told you so,
Uh huh it told you so
It told you so

You happen to see a bridge rising out of the water along your morning ride
So you pursue a notion further and stop for awhile
The bridge rises into the mist and disappears
Nowhere you're going nowhere 
Or have you really come out the other side?
You'll never know because you've never been away from home
But anything's better than home

Your world divides and multiplies
Your world, suddenly in color

You hear voices calling from a distance
And you wake up tangled in your sheets
And you cry out you were there and you were there
Because the brilliant lights you saw were really just their words, their touches and their thoughts

And like a gift
Momentary afterimages
Will appear in later years
That you can touch
Revel in
And fully recall

In Color

Like gold spun from straw
The crown already on your head
It's gone
The next day it's gone

Like leprechaun coin you try
To test it between your teeth
But it's gone
The next day it's gone
The next day it's gone

You're not fooling, you're not fooling anyone
We know you've got your face painted on
You'll do anything, call back your youth
No matter who you were then
No matter who you are now
How much is your youth gonna cost you?
Everybody is waiting for their chance to act out a teenage romance
But it never comes

Like lips pumped full of collagen
And eyelids taped up on high
They're gone
The next day they're gone

Like a schoolgirl crush
Hot down there, hot to the touch
It's gone, the next day it's gone
The next day it's gone
