I think this song was written by our friend Mark Pringle, who was in a band with Larry way back before I met either of them. What can I say about this one? I played the drums. Larry played guitar and bass and sang. And that’s all their is on this one. It’s simple but …
I always liked the sound of this one. Deep bass. Sweet. Sad. But it’s really sad. It makes me sad to listen to it now. It’s all about the past. Past dead relationships of Larry’s that sound just like past dead relationships of mine. But then again, I think there’s something else in it, Larry …
This is another one about Larry’s travels, I think. Driving across the country for 36 hours and not stopping. He’s the rest stop junkie. Let’s see. We have machine drums on this I think, plus some real drums in places, a couple of Larry guitars, his bass, and me on piano. That was nice to …
This was the second song we did, I think. I think we did Cat In The Desert first, then this one. You can tell because it uses other methods besides the straight real drums, bass, guitar shtick. I sing on this one! It’s featuring Aaron Trumm! Aaron Trumm! This one’s also got some Larry poetry …
So Roll Back is a move in Tai Chi and the concept of it is really important to Eastern Philosophy in general, and the concept of Tai Chi’s softness and wisdom. It’s not necessarily about non aggression, per se, but it is about the wisdom of when to step back and let the opponent take …
This one’s sort of interesting. This was the first version of it, but we actually did another version because we felt like this version was way too “movie theater pop” ish. We just thought “oh how lame, we’re a couple of wankers for this mix”. So we made one with stronger drums, and just harder …
This is another one that I think is the hit single on the record. I played the drums on this one too. I think this one was co-written by Larry and his friend Mark Pringle a long long time ago. Maybe just Mark. We never could find Mark to make him join BMI and give …
This song’s interesting. Larry said it was basically about him and any number of his friends and friends’ kids. It reminds me of the characters from the moive “Go” (Katie Holmes’s breakout flick – GOD she was pretty in that movie). Of all the songs, this one talks about something about Larry which I really …
I think this was the 1st or 2nd track we did for this record. It was either this first, She Owns Me second, or vice-versa. Between this and Right On Time and Another Yesterday (which were later in the process), you can see how we sort of evolved and came into our stride as producers. …
Ok! New subject!! I’ll talk about somebody else’s record! But I recorded this one! Larry Lines “Numen”. Larry Lines! Of Larry Lines fame! LarryLinesBlog! We did this mostly at Rock Romano’s Red Shack. We did a few things at my place, like a few little vocal lines and maybe a guitar or two. Right On …
