Solaris

Long Time Gone (Live @ The Store 11/24/13)

You were mine
The Pride of the White Star Line
The Eastland turned on it's side
Vesuvius in your smile

You were mine 
A train wreck and the plague combined
Meteors falling from the sky
Airships exploding in your eyes

You're a Disaster
But you were mine
You're a Disaster 
And you were mine

Don't know how
You found Mrs. O'Leary's cow
A sweet conflagration in your frown
Now Chicago is burning down

You're a Disaster
But you were mine
You're a Disaster 
And you were mine

Nineteen-aught-six you were on the town
And you shook San Francisco to the ground
1918, the Spanish Flu
I'm sure they'll trace that back to you

You were worse
Than King Tutenkhamun's curse
Women and children first
You carry calamities in your purse

You're a Disaster
But you were mine
You're a Disaster 
And you were mine

Disaster

Thirteen (Big Star Cover)

This episode of the Spindown is about jazz, poetry, being in the pocket, feeling fine and mellow, and why the lady poets must not marry. 

The Spindown Episode 5: dream a little dream

This episode isn't quite ALL apologies, but an apologetic refrain does keep popping up. Also: weird poetry tweets, bitching about the mayoral election, and more. 

The Spindown Episode 6: All Apologies

ButterBean's debut performance at the 13th Alex Chilton Birthday Bash.

I wanted to explore some more music from the 1980s. I also love the instrumentation and lyrics of this song! 
I sang all of the vocoder parts, and all the orchestral tracks were a combination of my Yamaha M06 keyboard and the East West Hollywood Strings Library. The guitars were a combination of my custom MarbleHead and Ibanez guitars. The drums are the Session Drummer 3 Glam Kit.
