Original Instrumental: Monkey Parts

Jon shared “Monkey Parts” with me while we were discussing an unreleased track we were working on. Jon’s original track instantly inspired me and the lyrics easily flowed onto the paper (actually I write all my lyrics in Apple Notes, lol) and then into GarageBand (using my Apple headphone mic to everyone who mixes my vocals exasperation). I held onto the unmixed track for a while (really for no good reason besides it wasn’t in the stars’ plan until now) and then finally worked up the urge to “git er done.” 

As for the lyrics, the last time I had anything weed related was probably 11 years ago in California. At that time, all things marijuana were relatively easy to acquire since many of my friends had “doctor’s notes” to go to the medical dispensaries. It was fun to try all the new novel dope products people were making and selling. Since living in Oregon, for over 6 years now, I have not once thought about partaking in the herb, even though I can easily walk to several cannabis stores from my home. I think there are more pot stores in the Portland area than convenient stores, I do not live in a reefer desert, lol. But still, I was inspired to write a song about maryjane.

Lyrics:
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

I was feeling alright my baby
Until you ruined my vibe with crazy
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling alright my people
Until ya’ll ruined my vibe with fecal
Specially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

But I shoulda saw it coming 
Now my Karma’s got me running  
Fruitions always gunning 
This life
Future life 
Past bad acts got me on slumming
Always on the worry 
On what I am becoming

So with my right thumb and my two right fingers 
I set my intention as I’m foldin’ up the papers
Right right right right

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
Interlinked eternally
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling stressed out my baby
And then I lifted my vibe with hazy 
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

When I’m feeling stressed out my people
I gotta lift my vibe pineal
Especially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

Yea some say it’s in the dirt
But It don’t matter when it hits it still hurts
Attracted by ya’ll hertz 
Best to sit still
Keep chill
Let the mind go inert 
Purify ’til the soul reverts

Use my thumbnail to press down and tuck the edges
I set my intention and seal it with some praises 
Right right right right
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
My vibe guides me

Thinkin' Of A Sushi Roll

Jon Lock, Russell Sinfield & the Couch King - Thinkin' Of A Sushi Roll

I wrote Drunken Fist as I think its a good way to 
explain the feeling of determination and fighting for something. Drunken Fist is a martial art where the movements and motions seem unplanned, yet they are defined by years of training. Sometimes in life when we fight for a relationship, or a passion, it can seem accidental or aimless, but in reality we have the end goal always in mind. In my case that’s to be a Musician and write good music. 

This is recorded on an IPad.

*Thanks to Joel Baker who inspired me to write this song.

I’m fighting to keep this going
Unsteady on my feet
Ready to fight it uncertain
Tip toeing on the edge of reality 
I ask, Is it okay to miss someone 
Who’s already there 
Even though they’re still there
Let me fall
Let me fall
Drunken Fist 

Drunken fist, falling motions 
Seems so messed up
But every movement rehearsed
Let me fall let me fall let me fall let me fall
Drunken Fist 

I’m fighting to stop this showing 
Unsteady I can’t speak 
Ready despite the desertion
Fist slowing on the edge of brutality 
I ask, is it ok to miss someone 
that’s already there 
Even though they don’t care
Let me fall
Let me fall
Drunken Fist 

Drunken fist, falling motions 
Seems so messed up
But every movement rehearsed
Let me fall let me fall let me fall let me fall
Drunken Fist 

Drunken Fist you are a strength 
This friendship, I don’t want to end 
Seems unrehearsed and weak 
Heart now silent, cannot speak. 

Drunken fist, falling motions 
Seems so messed up
But every movement rehearsed
Let me fall let me fall let me fall let me fall
Drunken Fist

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap slide


  This song began its life as a composition that JJ wrote one evening on the piano and synth. He also wrote the lyrics and sings this one. He was very excited to share it with us, so he invited Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez into the project immediately after finishing. However, we couldn't make the thing work at first, so JJ went back and retooled it, streamlined it, and gave it back to us. We all really liked the Floydiness of the groove, and his signature psychedelic coda ending. 
  After Ken had laid down his inspired, foundational  drums, Josh laid down his bass part with his big monster five-string bass, which is good for really low tones. Then it was Tez's turn. He came up with something very Gilmore-esque, with his always exciting leads throughout the first section. Stephen then added some brilliant, filling acoustic guitar to the first section. He, along with Tez, also added some trippy electric guitar to the coda. Finally, Josh just thought it needed something to push the coda over the edge, so he added the slide at the end, too.
  Then, of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Also, we wish a very happy holidays to everyone! 

JJ's lyrics:
PUSHED AND PULLED AND SWUNG THE CLEAVER
MY TIME IT RAN AWAY.

FOOLISH HEART AND SOME DECEIVIN’
DIE TRYIN’ TO STAY AFRAID

DESERT CHILL IS WHERE IM SLEEPIN’
HARD NIGHT TURNED INTO DAYS

BETTER GO AND FEED THIS FEVER
TWICE BLINDED BY THIS FAITH



SHOULD’VE KNOWN WHILST IN THE SEASON
BEHIND BLIND BRAVEITY

TRUTH COMES HOME TO ROOST THE RAVEN
FIVE STEINS MADE OF JADE

TREASURED HILL THE SUNS RETREATIN’
CARD PLAYED YOUR HANDS AN ACE

LET IT GO THIS BIRD IS DREAMIN’
DICE LANDED AT THE TRAIN



COULD’VE SHOWN MY HEART’S REATREATIN’
BLIND SIDED BY THE SEA

PLEASURED TONE OF THE BALLADEER
FIND A HIGH AND LONELEY PLACE

SEED IS SOWN THIS HEART’S STILL BEATIN’
FIVE LIONS IN THE DEN

GETTIN’ COLD THE BEAST IS LEAVING
SOUTH BOUND IT ALL THE WAY

Balkan Break Circuit wires Balkan folk energy into a charged grid of breakbeats and machine pulses. Clarinet riffs spark over syncopated drops, glitch fills crash through traditional rhythms — a rogue system upgrade built to move bodies and disrupt norms.

I'm a hobbyist I dunno producer?, musician? composer?, trying to be a bit of all three and having lots of fun, I have many hobbies which I hope one day will coalesce into one awesome project but I have many years of learning to go, this is just a small part of a puzzle I may never finish but its the journey not the destination.
