America’s Worth Dying For

New single “America’s Worth Dying For” on http://www.Starvingraptors.org and Headhat Records Bandcamp Compilation. I made this beat in 2002 with a keyboard and wrote the lyrics in summer of 2011. It was originally made for a new album, but based on how news gets old quick I decided to release it now.

No One Loves You

This song is from an unreleased solo effort called “Picnic”. “No One Loves You” was recorded in 2010 featuring Barrie Rose of Tes Elations. It was the last song I recorded in my Silverlake Apartment before I moved in with Barrie and soon after left to Philly in 2011. I looped the sample in 1999Continue reading “No One Loves You”

New Album “Living Room”

I purchased the cover photo for 75 cents at a store called Mostly Books in downtown Philly. From 2008-2011 I recorded a numberContinue reading “New Album “Living Room””

How to Flip the Gummo Sample

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVtZ9g41mQM

I saw the movie Gummo by Harmony Korine in 1999. I was living on my friends couch in the living room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I remember liking it at once. I saw Kids when it first came out and liked it also, but Gummo blew it out the water for me.
In 2001 I sampled Gummo’s cowboy kids cussing at the rabbit for a song that doesn’t exist anymore. Then in 2004 I sampled the sounds in the film arriving with “Don’t Forget to Water the Radio”. A demo was recorded, then in 2010 I re-recorded the song with the same exact Gummo Sampled beat and hook, but changed the lyrics slightly. Since 2004 my songwriting became a little less enigmatic. The song was put on my 2nd album “Swimming to Cambodia”.
