I just want to thank you personally for they way to strategically took advantages of musicians and artists since the birth of rock and roll.  I think the Internet is a perfect fuck you to all of the bad decisions you made for the sake of money.

Are You Tracking - This is a pretty heavy song.  There is a lot of dissonant guitar in the background.  It expresses the feeling of wanting to be with someone, being let down by them, and the desire to treat someone better than they have been treated in the past.  (October 2006)  

Cha Cha - Ok, so once upon a time I was totally into a NYC punk band called Richard Hell and the Voidoids.  The Guitar player was tight and clumsy at the same time, missing notes, out of key, etc.  You get the idea.  I recorded this song with 2 opposing cassette players and still like listening to it today. (August 1985).

Classic Winter Playground - More fragmented ambient abstract expressionism.  Picture yourself in winter overcoat and boots, walking across a icy sidewalk next to a fence with kids playing kickball in the school playground on a cold day in December.  (August 2006)

Come Come On - This is probably the shortest song I have written and one of my favorites.  It has a sense of hopefulness about it.  The ending I add a few samples to the song that drive my son crazy, but I like them anyway.  (July 2004)

Donna - I went out on a date with a really nice girl named Donna.  I was in a weird kind of I totally don't understand how I feel about dating.  She was on the receiving end of my craziness.  She was a nice person.  I'm using a drum machine and my Godin Guitar thru the synth.  It makes a really nice sparkly song.  Listen to how things break down at the end.  (November 2005)

Dreams 20061118 -  I am not stoned or on drugs.  I am just sometimes weird.  I know, say Terrence one afternoon,  I will create a daily broadcast of random thoughts and just share it with the world.  That idea lasted about a day.  The May All Your Dreams Come True radio network.   (November 2006)

Hillbilly Dance Loop Party II - Before you listen to this song you have to put yourself in a place, a hillbilly place, in the back woods, with ma and pa and all the kids sitting around playing hillbilly music and the whole county comes out to see you because junior has learned to play a wicked guitar lead that everyone just loves.  Made with software program called Acid.   (March 2002)

Intro to Genocide - This is a really abstract song that I did for a compilation disc.  I took fragments of songs and BBC radio samples and patched it together.  It actually got a write up in SPIN magazine and I guess it was played in the LA and NYC markets.  It expresses a bit of my anger toward war and the injustice of it all.  The idea was to create a song that made people think by giving them basically an anti-song.  No melody, stops, starts, bleeps, and noise.  The critics understood.  (April 1992)

It's Just Not Fair - This song includes a haunting melody that I have loved for so long.  Its such a sad melody it belongs in a movie like Braveheart.  Anytime I play this melody, I end up writing bittersweet lyrics about lost love.  I'm not really that sad right now, just for the few minutes I wrote the song.  (Oct 2005)

Jennifer Slowly -  This song is an instrumental about the girl that got away.  Or I let slip away or I screwed it up with, or what ever.  Jennifer was very pretty and I was in love with her, and I was afraid that she would never be happy with me.  Low self esteem really sucks, then when you combine it with regret, it just hurts.  I wish things were different, I wish I could see her on the street and she would smile and me and I could get a second chance.  (Feb 1999)

Jaguar - This is a song that I wrote the words to about 25 years ago. I only got to play it once on stage back in 1980.  I thought it was a very cool set of words.  Anyway about 5 years ago at Lee's Liquor's some guy walked up to me and said that the remembered the song Jaguar and that he always loved it, even though he only heard it once.  Its moments like that which make it all worthwhile sometimes.  (Sept 2005)

Ministry - This is another song with Red Shadow Chorus.  It was definitely the crowd pleaser.  We were always getting crowds going crazy when this song was playing.  I did a really good job on the guitar.  In the middle of the song there is a guitar lead and I am using a drum stick to get the slide sound.  Christopher's drums really shine thru.  (June 1997)

Moon - This song is easily the most commercial song ever.  You can easily take the first 20 seconds of the song and see it in a car commercial.  It was written when I was in Red Shadow Chorus.  Renee on vocals, Christopher on drums, and Shawn on bass.  I was doing a bunch of harmonics on my guitar.  I'm quite proud of this song.  (June 1997)

More I cant remember -  This song was done on one take with Willie McManus on vocals, I was backing vocals, and we switched lead guitar.  I like the melancholy nature of the song and hope that I can crank out a few more songs like this with Willie in the future. (April 2006)

Moving On - No I am not moving on, or sad, or broken hearted.  Its just a song that came out while I was daydreaming about a guy standing on a train platform, watching her girlfriend pull away from the station.  He realizes that it isn't going to work between them.  (December 2005)

My Dreams - are sweet as pie, just like your eyes on a full moon night.  I mean, come on give me a break.  What is this song about...not sure...probably something to do with falling in love with someone that turns out to be a lot different then I thought.  I love the little sonar ping that happens throughout the song.  (December 2006)

Parker - This song was written using my new Yamaha keyboard, guitar and vocals.  Its suppose to be a rap song of some sort.  But it kind of breaks down in the middle.   I have to shorten it up and redo it with better microphone.  But overall I like the song.  It was written based on one of my short stories called Brown Eyed Girl.  (August 2003)

Paying Your Dues - This was a Tucker Get Down song that we wrote right after I had another marathon session listening to The Fall.  If you don't have The Falls - Infotainment album you need to get it.  It's a classic.  I really like the heavy distortion on the vocals.  Its kind of a goof of a song because all I am really saying in the song is "You must have lost your shoes"  We did a video using the Wizard of Oz movie because when I was singing it all I was thinking about was Dorothy's red slippers.  (May 2005)

Petunia - Another song written during the heights of giddy falling in love.  I seem to write music during the extremes.  My good friend Gerard once stated that I have two speeds, in love and depressed.  I suppose its true.  I am developing a few more, but having only two speeds sure keeps life interesting.  (November 2006)

Picture - An abstract thought crossed my mind about meeting a girl and because I left my camera at home I was never able to take her picture.  Now its twenty years later and what she looks like to me is fading away.  (February 2008)

Rock So Low - I was lucky enough to see Joe Satriani once in Las Vegas.  His guitar playing was so great that I was rocking out in the crowd and crying my eyes out at the same time.  Surfing with the Aliens is one of his best albums and he plays all the instruments.  I play all the different instruments on this song. (June 2003)

Secret Lover - This is another Red Shadow Chorus song.  The words always made me cringe a bit for some reason.  Renee wrote the lyrics.  The think I really love about the song is that it totally sounds like a 50's love song.  The guitar lead in the middle is very nice.  (June 1997)

Sha Ma La - This was a first take recording with Felix Hampton Brown in my loft.  I met Felix on a warm Autumn day in Loring Park.  He is an outsider artist and he stopped over to look at my art.  He stepped up to the microphone, I stepped up to the piano.  (Sept 2005)

Shira - I lived for a while out in California.  I stayed with my friend Cindi and her roommates and I was trying to justify the cost of living.  I met a girl name Shira who was a talented architect.  I came home and wrote this song about her.  We only spent one evening together, but she made me feel hopeful that I could meet someone new and have a nice time.  (December 2004)

Sweet Tangerine - I think I am finally figuring out vocal harmony.  At little bit late in life but what the hell.   I like the way this song rolls.   Groovy song about a girl in a movie I saw called Jackpot.  Her name was Tangerine.  I love that name for a girl.  (November 2006)

Take it Back - I like this song a lot.  It's a really rough mix song, the vocals are totally distorted, but I think it expresses a combination of anger and love.  When I was writing it I was holding a thought in my mind that someone was saying something bad about a girl that I loved, and I want to punish them deep inside.  Kind of a primal feeling.  (January 2004)

Telephone - This is another first take song.  I actually think it is one of my best song.  It is dissonant, out of key, found sounds, noises, and more.   A girl named Lisa was on the drums for the first time in her life and I hit the record button.  I started playing the guitar and it was out of key and keep hitting the microphone stand, but I kept going.  I added the keyboard and sound effects later.  (April 2005)

True Fun - I found a cassette on the street one day with Mandarin Chinese Language instructions.  About a week later I listened to a band that Jesse recommended to me called the Books.   This song is true fun. (April 2006)

Ultralove - This song was recorded with Lisa Debruzzi in the mid 90s.  Lisa and I formed a two piece group called Painting Angels and only played one gig at the Terminal Bar in Minneapolis.  Probably the most dive bar in town.  We wrote about a dozen songs together.  I met Lisa on Christmas Eve one year when she came to audition for an ad I had in the paper.  (June 1997)

What would Johnny Cash Do?   Ok, I have never been that wild about my voice when it comes to singing, so I wonder what Johnny would do?  I can't give up music, and this is the voice I have. I refuse to take singing lessons. (January 2007)

Where are you - This is a first take of a song with Willie on guitar.  Its a bit long and rambling, but there is some really nice guitar stuff on it.  We are planning on cutting it down to size and turning into a real song, but I actually like this long version a bit.   We recorded in the music room upstairs in my house.  (July 2006)

Wish - I wrote this in 1986 in my basement of a new house.  I was using a cassette player.  Jesse was 1 years old and I was foretelling the future as I was missing all of the things that I had at the time and knew that they were only temporary.  (July 1986)

Yippee - I took this song off an old cassette tape.  The idea for this song has stuck with me for about 20 years.  When I was at Atomic K Records I reworked the song in a country format for a young singer name Samantha.  We thought it would be a great hit.  This version is very heavy and way too fast, but I still like it.

You're the One - Just me and the acoustic guitar and a tambourine that I used my foot to tap on.  It's kind of a song that just happened.  Kind of different from my usual style.  I remember I had on four strings on the guitar at the time.  Once I replaced the bottom two strings the song was tougher to play.  (March 2005)
