Better Than This – listen[mp3]
Written for the Zero To Phantom Songfight.
The Rhodes is super-saturated, Herbie Hancock style. I was actually going for Radiohead, but the consensus is I got Seal playing the Doogie Howser theme.
Not A Lie – listen[mp3]
Gregor’s Taylor, Kev’s mic, my Les Paul.
I’m still not happy with the verse arrangement. The atmosphere isn’t right. But the song’s all about the guitar solo, which is perfect, so I’m leaving the whole thing alone for now.
Kobayashi wins another eating contest, this one the Krystal Square Off, 2004 [flash]. He won by eating 69 Krystal mini-burgers (Krystal: White Castle clone for the Southern man.)
In other news: Hardee’s just released the monster thickburger (so big, they had to invent a word.) It’s a 1420-calorie beast… And at only 160 calories each, you’d need nearly 9 Krystal mini-burgers to do the same damage to your system.
Put another way, Kobayashi managed to eat just 7.8 monster thickburgers. Poser.
In other news: The Hamdog consists of one hotdog, wrapped in cheese, rolled in ground beef, then deep-fried and topped with bacon, onions, chili, and, just to shave one more month off your life, a fried egg.
Nights And Songs – listen[mp3]
Written for the Dark All Day Songfight. (This is a better remix, without the digital clipping in the Songfight version.)
The lyrics mean more if you’ve seen Time&Whiskey play at The Grove in Port Credit.
Another Day, Another Bottle [Time&Whiskey] – listen[mp3]
I wrote half the lyrics driving to a gig at the The Rock. (I think it was the night we headlined, Brampton music gods that we were.)
Jay conjured the monkey image after hearing 30 seconds of the half-finished song. Such was the power of Mr. Shit.
Not counting Radiohead covers, this song’s the most fun a band can have in 2½ minutes.
Whole Story [Time&Whiskey] – listen[mp3]
Time&Whiskey re-recorded this a couple of weeks after the rest of the album was done. The original version (MP3 - note: low quality demo-tape rip) was wicked fast, and I was never happy with it. The tempo sped up gradually, and you can hear me burst something trying to keep pace near the end. Of course, I now think the original version is way better.
U.S. citizenship is required for voting today, but it’s completely optional for election day drinking games:
The offical Election Day Drinking Game (only ’cause they got the URL). The non-partisan competitive Election Night drinking game. Throwing up for Nader. If someone passes out, they lose. Last one standing wins the election.
NOTE: International drinking rules may apply.
Galway [Time&Whiskey] – listen[MP3]
I still think this was the best song on the Time&Whiskey album. Needs more mandolin, though.
