LYRICS
written and recorded in 2002
when i was operating incognito as molecule, this
cut is from the record meador,
a musical journey triggered by the sudden death
of my father.
"one for the dealer" is a bookend for
the disc, imagining the feeling of letting go,
and moving on into the next realm.

"elizabeth parker"
(video clip)
PLAY
IT
this week's serving comes to you circa 1995,
when i was with a little band known as the
lucky charms. we ran a spot on nantasket
beach, ma called the box. this
was a place where we sold used stuff like records,
antiques, musical instruments, etc.. but, mostly
the box was a place where we
could excercise our creativity. we had art shows,
musical performances, theatre, produced records
(via our own label called noisy revolution)
and lo-fi tv....
"elizabeth parker" was one of the many
videos we made. this one was shot on super 8 with
filmmaker hilary
weisman (who co-produced, wrote and directed).
from our dakota arts release
toast, which went on to do some nice things.
the song was a musical response to a local writer
that could not quite understand just where we
were coming from...i couldn't help it...you know
how it is.

"angry man" (mp3
- 2.9 MB)
in the spirit of free speech...
this week's song is a testament of our independence.
what better day than the 4th of july.
written in about a half an hour...total stream of
consciousness. lot's of fun to write, even more
fun to play. recorded it in the early morning so
i could hit the low notes. sorry about the dirty
language...i'm going for the bar of soap as we speak. |

"soulflight
e.s.t. " (mp3 - 7.1 MB)
PLAY
IT
this song
was originally written and recorded in late 1999. it was included
on the faux original motion picture soundtrack 1999.75
that i recorded as a response to all the pre-millennium paranoia
that was taking place at the time.
working
on a film in miami now, i sometimes find myself amidst the
early morning quiet of a busy city asleep. i've chosen this
song because it evokes that feeling of peace, while at the
same time, paralleling the joy of a city right now reveling
in the championship victory of its beloved heat. |

LYRICS
this is a true ebenezer song, with all the instruments
and singing performed and recorded at once.
i've been accused at times of having happy songs
with desperate, painful lyrics. as they say... go
with what you know.
as i was writing this, i couldn't help but feel
that i was in the process of creating a broadway-style
showtune. how'd i do? howdy do. |

LYRICS
this is my first attempt at playing and recording
banjo. the bass line is played on a wurlitzer electric
piano i picked up at an antique store in green cove
springs, florida while on location shooting the
indie feature
things that hang from trees. the drums
are courtesy of my trusty ol' rhythm ace. and the
lyrics? well, the lyrics pay homage to the hip hop
aesthetic of boasting while laying down a fat beat.
maybe. |
