Working in an office, I'm very familiar with websites like The Customer Is Not Always Right and PassiveAggressiveNotes.com. I saw this gem on the latter, and as the poster suggested it, obviously I needed to write this song.
I then sent it to PassiveAggressiveNotes.com, and they happily put it under the original post. Thank god.

Lyrics:
My world is round on the outside
But your world is round on the inside
And my world has trains and buildings and people
And your world has blood worms and glass
I go to parties and concerts
And restaurants and bars and the ocean
And earn myself money and learn things but you
Don't go to work and you don't go to class
Carey, I can't tell if you like me

Hey guys. Hey. Hey. I think this is gonna start happening again, starting today.
Lyrics:
You're not the first to do me once
Then only wanna be my friend
And every time, I feel like crap
And have to start from scratch again
So then I try to problem-solve
And find and fix what's wrong with me
There's awful lots that I can see
It might be every part of me
So next I try pretending to
Be into doing people who
I wouldn't want to talk much to
And don't like the same things I do
But I'd be lying if I said
That bullshit doesn't make me sad
It doesn't matter who I do 'cause
In the end I'll end up feeling bad

Official Kickstarter Launch: PRETTY
Labels:

::
Well I got off my butt and did it: I applied for a Kickstarter project page to help release upcoming album PRETTY. 'Cause I've been promising an album for forever and haven't been able to afford to make a nice one.
The pledge system is set up as a preorder. So if you want to preorder just the vinyl album, you can pledge $15. IF (this is a big "if") I make enough to actually press it, the $15 transaction happens on December 1st. If I DON'T, it never happens; the $15 stays in yer pocky. There is no way money can come to me without you getting something in return. It's a pretty neat system for everybody.

Today was my third day with this horrendous cold, so I stayed home from work and caught up on sleep lost being unable to breathe, and once I was able to get out of bed I wrote a new song, and then made a ton of videos.

Lyrics
When I stay home sick
With a cold I
Drink soup like my
Mother told me
To and even
Though I'm older
Now I put a
Record on and
Lie pretending
I am in the
Sky and that my
Bed is like a
Cloud and when I
Play pretend I'm
Louder than I
Ought to be 'cause
Now I'm all grown
Up you see and
Also have a cold
The Sneaky Mister: "Sickie"
The Sneaky Mister: "Sleep"
The Sneaky Mister: "Pavilion"
The Sneaky Mister: "Dog"
The Sneaky Mister: "Friend"

Goings-On

I'm writing this sitting on the train.
So a couple weeks back you may remember the video for "Time," which was mysteriously getting a lot of views on YouTube, and I finally figured out it was 'cause some lovely person had embedded it on this blog (second video down). The blog by the way, Ukulele Hunt, is freaking awesome.
In life, right now, I commute every day and like my job, live with approximately three people in a sweet old house, and have a lot. Of shit. Going on. Recently finished filming a short in which I play the uke, and getting paid a little bit for the use of a couple songs in that; painting a window for a consignment shop on Cabot called Elite Design & Consign; swimming in the ocean. You know. More to come.

Covers Week!
::
I love doing pop covers. Don't judge. (The Pinback one isn't a pop cover, anyway; they're, like, some kind of awesome indie rock band.)
"Umbrella" by Rihanna
"Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga
"Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga
"June" by Pinback
These were videotaped in my living room. The background tiger's name is Ethan Berry, after one of my old professors.

My mom is awesome. I'm one of the few people I know who really enjoyed living with my parents after graduation. Now that's all over, and I'm back in Beverly where I belong, and I'm not ashamed to say I miss my mom.

Mom, I owe you so much money
And you still like me, that's so funny
Other mothers get so angry
But you understand me better than anybody

Lyrics
My friend sings to me
When it's wake-up time
And I sing to him
When we make up time, time
How many songs do we
Sing so desperately
Trying hard to mend our friendship
He and I are loathe to end it

White Room with Fast Molasses
::
I've been going over to my neighbor Christopher's house to play cello a lot lately. A couple nights ago his buddy S.wee came over from ...Pittsburgh? and I brought the cello, and we played some sweet shit, and recorded it, and here it is.
We were in a completely white room in the attic with a really lovely window. The house is pretty old.
Guess you could tag this as Fast Molasses and the Flavored Blacks featuring The Sneaky Mister, or the other way around, as you see fit.
1. Spring (Song of the Day #40)
Vox and cello: me
Guitars: Christopher and S.wee
2. Wayfarin' Stranger -- actual song doesn't start 'til almost halfway through
Vox and cello: me
Guitars: Christopher and S.wee
3. Unknown (Savannah)
Vox and guitar: S.wee
Cello and vox: me
Guitar: Christopher
4. Helplessly Hoping (Crosby, Stills and Nash)
Vox and guitar: me
Awesome harmonica: Christopher
Guitar: S.wee

About Song a Day Hiatus
Labels:

Hi, maybe you noticed that Song a Day kicked back up and then stopped--I have legit reasons for this. I'm working on all three albums (details in last post), getting ready for a veritable wave of shows with the Sneaky Mister Friends, slowly preparing the new website, and trying to stay sane while working full-time. I love Song a Day, though, and plan on starting it up again as soon as I have a moment to breathe. This will likely be when the new site is done.
Awesome.
