Rainy Days and Tuesdays…

They Must Believe I Was Born Yesterday, They Must Believe I’ve Got Sand for My Brains

You Know In Your Heart You’ve Got To Break The Chain
Good Morning, Mackrophiliacs, I won’t lie to you, kids. Your Uncle Eddie has been tired. It’s mostly a good tired, brought on by honest effort. I played almost all the parts for Here It Comes Again over the past month … Continue reading
Don’t You Think About It, What You Could, What You Could Do With Your Life?
Good Evening/Morning. It’s 3:10 AM where I live, and I’ve slept as much as I can, it seems. That means you get to read me blathering about something before I’ve had caffeine or my mood stabilizers. Naming Conventions For those … Continue reading

Speaking of New…
Here’s a sample of what we’ve done so far. It’s pretty rough, but we’re both pretty rough around the edges at the moment ourselves, and it shows. Better recordings coming soon… I Want Someone Close To Me 2010 v1 The … Continue reading
Kharmic Revolution Number Nine… Number Nine… Number Nine…
