Chemical Cats

We've had Death's Dog now it's time for the Chemical Cats. I guess since you're probably reading this blogum (Pronounce BLOW-gum, not BLAHgm, so it sounds better) in the reverse order to how I'm writing it, and yes, right now it seems preposterous that anyone is reading this in any order, except that as I listen back to these simple acoustic recordings, I've got to say I like the songs, so conceivably people might want to follow along and read liner notes and watch videos and such, you know, the whole purpose for this blogum, I should say, here are the Chemical Cats, and get ready for Death's Dog!

A jaunty shuffle about my misspent youth. And my misspent young adulthood, and my misspent middle-age. Did I mention that Death's Dog is coming soon?

The Money's Running In The Wrong Direction

Here's a rocker. I actually had a situation, after I wrote this song, where I tried to buy a burger at McDonald's and the clerk confused my dirty dime for a penny. I was almost "Hey! I've got a lyric about that!" but I'm starting to learn that complete strangers don't want to hear about my songs.



This song is about money. Ultimately, money is not important. Of course, as Keynes said, "In the long run we're all dead." Until then, the money's tight.

One thing that doesn't cost much?  FREE.

Get the money running in the right direction! If you've got it, donate!

Drink & Drive

Phil Spectre did the same thing on "I Me Mine" audibly what I did here visually. Took George Harrison's half written song, looped it, and presto, there's a song! Likewise, when the camera ran out of memory half way through this performance, I just looped it.




I've got a whole fantasy where me and Stevie Wonder debate this song on TV, and then become friends.

You don't need to drink and drive anywhere to get this song.

Seriously kids, don't drink and drive. Drink and donate!

The Sun

What a great solo by former K Ray Beyda! Still a joy to listen to. This is me trying be David Bowie. This song is bad science: Our sun shall never go Nova, it shall merely peter out and turn into a white dwarf, or something like that. Let me know if I'm wrong.




This song is to be found (or not found) on my "famously" lost album Rain Rain Hail and Rain, recorded with the great Billy Burke at loveless motel studio in rainy California. I hope to get that album released someday.

Until then, you can get this live version for free HERE.

A small donation would make the sun shine for me!

Hologram

Now THIS is a love song! I'm fond of this one. Happy with the guitar riffery, the lyrics, the flow, and the whole classic rock "Maybe I'm Amazed" vibe. I hope it gets to a wider audience before the technology becomes quaint. With the advent of 3D printing and 3D television, we're verging on that territory, but the laser images that brought Princess Leia to Luke Skywalker's attention haven't arrived just yet, so hopefully....


Great to be reunited with The Ks guitarist and good friend Ray Beyda.


You can send yourself a "Hologram" for free by downloading the song HERE.

I've also got a solo acoustic version for you Dan Kilian completists.

Donations are real and essential!

Trapped In Hell With You

The Girl took this as a negative song, but I was all "No, it's positive! Sure we're trapped in Hell, but it's a love song!"

When I put together my show of short rock operas this will be in the revue of Songs From Hell, of which I've got a few. Catholic!

Death's Dog

Been a while since I've posted to this, got to get it regular. This a blogum, not a blEP.

This song will be fleshed out (if you can flesh out a skeletal dog) on my next album, ...and Now This. I'm pleased with how it works with spooky effects.

This was for Dave Benjoya's birthday party. Thought it'd be an amusing song to play. Hope he was amused.
