The other night we had some friends over and I was playing pool with Mountain Bike Dude, and I had reloaded iTunes, so it had reconfigured itself, and that's the only explanation I can come up with for why one of my D-Man songs came on, and even though I was a few whiskeys gone, I was still able to act quick enough to shut it down before it got too far in, but my friend had already heard it and when I went to the toilet he somehow found my D-runken Hearted Tunes folder on the computer and then loaded up an old song and what was probably one of my worst vocal performances (What? Impossible!), and I could tell by the cringe on his face and the embarrassed laughter that followed that he was thinking, What The Fuck Were You Thinking, and then D-Missus came down stairs and shut the song off because she hated it and I thought

Oh. Well. Man. Well. Ouch.

Critics.

What the fuck do they know, anyway?

Anyway. Here's a new song. This was inspired by an experience the New Guy at work had recently. For a nice guy, he seems to attract crazy ladies. And yes, well, most ladies are crazy, but his seem to be particularly more crazy than the normal kind of crazy and that's some crazy shit. This chick was “only-just-met, jump- up-and-down- on- the- bed- and- demand- to- be- Love- Made, and but-I-won't-get –out-of-your – house –because –you're –my soul-mate” crazy. Actually, the love making part doesn't sound too bad, but I'm assured that the potential-knife-through-the-shower-curtain part of the crazy was not.

After he told me his story, I wrote down some lines and threw them at him. He threw back some more inspiration. And before I knew it, I had something resembling a song.
He's sort of in a band. Well, there's just two of them. But the other guy built a recording studio in his house. They've got one really good song. They've been Myspace-invited to play parties based on that one song. But they only have one song.
They were meant to have written a whole bunch more by now, but they only have a bunch of half-finished stuff.
I've given the New Guy this song. I sort of figure it's his anyway. And he's got some pretty cool ideas to take it to a new level.
He's hooking up with his other band members late tomorrow night and wants to try and get me along to help work on this song.

He will be singing. (What? Outrageous!)

I'm keen.
Even if it just spurs them into action, that'll be cool.

Anyway. Check out the work tape. If anything better gets produced, you'll be the first to hear.
