My Lucky Number

"i've been listening to a lot of superchunk lately. a lot. and i'm totally enamored with the way their songs are written and the imagery that mac mccaughan uses. so i tried to a write a song like they do, more an homage than a ripoff. I'm not entirly sure about the results and i'm pretty sure i'm flat in some places but i think it's pretty good nonetheless."

I Want To Be With You and Around You (All the Time)

"this is a little rough around the edges but i like it a lot. just a good pop song. c-boo was a real sport about this, recording her vocals with little preparation in just under an hour’s time. she also helped with some of the rhyme scheme and word choice, although it’s all me on the harpsichord, folks. shabooyah!"

Stupid Mistake

Rock and Roll Me Over

"In this song I tried to include as many things as I could that I love about rock music. The ballad-y intro, totally rad drumming, that stadium clomp (which is hard to pull off on your own), and especially lyrics about being on the road. Nothing signifies hard-rocking more than the song of the road warrior and I wanted this to be like that. It took a while to get it right but I think this song does it right, even if I couldn't do Hagar vocals for it."

Sail Away

"No one loves smooth music as much as the Lucey family and with Ferbuary being such a trying month, a little smooth can make a lot of things easier. Also, my attempts at a Michael McDonald vocal made me sound like a super smooth Gene Ween. Awesome."
