It baffles me, but this seems to be one of my most popular songs. I get that it's catchy and kinda fun in a Robyn Hitchcock meets Jonathan Richman way. But, still leaves me a little cold, personally.
Still, I'm happy if you even HAVE a favorite song of mine!

You should really buy - or at least download - my records. Even if you pay nothing for them.
Because there are some good songs on there. I know. I listened to them.

This song. A ballad that is about the closest thing to an anthem that I've written.

I wrote a song called "Tortured Artist" a little while ago. It's on the second Hop on Pop record and I think it's kinda fun. Especially the last little bit, which makes me giggle.
It's fun to be clever.

Happy #BandcampFriday!
I have nothing new to offer, but the same 4 or 5 albums that have been up for a little while.
I cover a bunch of styles: #IndiePop, #Americana, #punk, #IndiePop and more.
Please support indie artists, whether it's me or someone else. Thanks!

Today's song of the day. Maybe I tried to do too much with the production/arrangement? I still think it's one of my better compositions - I mean, 9-TRACK GUITAR HARMONY!

A writing exercise I did a few months ago: tell the story of 5 minutes in your life in EXACTLY 100 words.

“This is My Guy” (100-word memoir)

I was having brain surgery.

In prep, as the sedative creeped into my veins, the surgeon appeared; a serious, hard-faced man of 60 years.

Reminiscing about when I started writing. I really wanted to be #JayFarrar from #UncleTupelo (and #SonVolt). You can hear it clearly -- maybe too clearly. But I still think the songs were pretty good.
