Dude you wrote a dozen original songs and recorded them! Unheard of a century ago!

Do you like John Cale? Halfway through your album I noticed you do these little conversational-sounding bits at the end verses, cramming a bunch of words in.... that is totally out of his playbook. I like that.

I think in general you should relax your voice a little bit. Start lower and take a more "talking blues" approach. But then again you kind of capture the folk-punk sound with your voice so I guess you're at liberty to play into that as much as you think is beneficial. The instrumentals don't do much for me, I'm sorry.


I think Waking Up with Strangers is catchy but a throwaway. Maybe transplant the chorus? Who knows how a crowd will receive a song about cumming. Do you play live often? Try that one on 'em for the real scoop.

A Great Day to be Nude might benefit from if you sing it lower.

The Burban has another great chorus and I know you are limited by your recording set up but that would really come to life with some other musicians.

Dogwater needs a live band too, man.

Kicked in the face at GBH is good but too short! I like the straight 4/4 kick drum that breaks up the song rhythmically.

One Bedroom Apartment....this is the one song I'll go out of my way to say I don't like.

Billy Joe needs work.

Hangover Day is my favorite. "Local Man Decomposes" haha great line.



Throw She Left Me for a Soccer Player into the garbage forever. Don't end any song talking about how some dude had a big cock unless he used it on Margaret Thatcher.
