This is the kind of song that gets written while stuck in New Hampshire for spring break. Apologies in advance.

Everybody and their half-deaf second cousin have covered this song. Whatever. I wanted something fun to do this afternoon and found it. Plus The Boss rules. Enjoy.

In honor of President’s Day, here’s a song about about being sovereign and self-contained…I’m just fucking with you, it’s about drinking and sex. As always, enjoy.

Not much to say here that isn’t being said verse-to-verse. Just another one laced up with Springsteen-ish desire. Enjoy.

Here’s a quick re-imagining of one of last year’s best songs/least-expected-but-ultimately-brilliant album-openers ever.

Here is a no-frills folk song (even by this blog’s usually frill-less standards) written in shreds over the course of the past few weeks. Loosely based on a true story and designed for wistful consumption. Indulge. Then enjoy.

Here’s a brand new song, not just for the world wide whatever but for me as well. Straightforward with a buzz, like black coffee, thanks to some A.A. Bondy inspiration.

Yeah, yeah, it’s a Tumblr. Think of it as a dumpster for my unprocessed musical garbage, of which this is the first piece, written sort of on request a long time ago, with a wink.
