Hello everyone! I've finally finished my CD "Grass Stained Twilight"!
As most of you know, over the course of the past couple of years I wrote and illustrated a book full of strange little poems, pictures, and songs - kind of in a Shel Silverstein meets the Beatles vein. Then, at the beginning of this year I started this little website on a dare from my brother in law Andy Baio over at Waxy.org, I started writing, recording, and posting a new "Song of the Week" every week (little did I know at the time that there was a long running tradition doing just that over at Song Fight that I would soon join) (Oh, and by the way, Hollywood Wax won Song Fight again last week! Thank You!). I ended up liking all the new stuff coming out of this experiment so much that I ended up going back to the book and adding these new songs and pictures to it. Then, I went back, cleaned-up, and re-did some of the songs. I've learned a lot more about mixing and mastering, however, I make no claims that it has a traditional "professional" quality. I prefer the "home-spun" vibe anyway.

So, "Grass Stained Twilight" the album contains a collection of songs from the book and my own "Song Of the Week" experiment conducted right here over the course of 2008. It's got the "sunshine pop" sound and is meant as an all ages affair. I hope all of you like it. Your input has been invaluable to me. I'm having a great time here and look forward to many more exciting things in the new year.

Order the CD here, it's $9.99. It comes with a booklet featuring some illustrations from the "Grass Stained Twilight" book and it's wrapped in a paper bag, an idea I got from Empty House Cooperative.

Thank You!

Short attention span or just a lack of time but I didn't record the second verse - just repeated the first. It also ends abruptly - but we're gonna go play in the snow for a few days so I'm leaving it for now. It's a story from the new book but the song is brand new - just made it up tonight.

And, the book is ready!!! Already got an order (thank you sis!)

No One Waits (for you to change into your cape) Anymore

A new song... yay!

This mp3 cuts off right before the very end of the song but I wanted to move on to something else so I'm putting it up.

No, this is not on the Grass Stained Twilight CD. Most everything I post here will be new/in progress stuff as this one is. The sketch above along with this song will probably end up with a final revised version in an upcoming book with an accompanying story.

Gina and Cooper thought I should include the lyrics:

They all escaped -When I went - To put on my red -Cape - I flew all over the Earth - And Sun - Singed my best boots it's no use - They're gone - How'll I explain? - It was a wardrobe problem Commissioner - That sounds so lame - I've got a Super Sister - They'll commission her too - No one waits - For you to change - Into your cape - Anymore - I'll find a way - To get them all back and I'll save - The day - And then I'll say - It was no problem at all Commissioner - That sounds so great - As for my Super Sister - She'll come on a mission or two - No one waits - For you to change - Into your cape - Anymore
