what you wanted to do is not important for what you halt to break through is the persistence of time altruisitc approach no doubt consorted advantageous and faulty as hell cause you won't desert all your pride and hurt you won't make right what you cannot fight you had the chance to decide yourself and you won't don't disrupt the balance of nature don't disrupt the balance of time no don't do that to me, the ruler of all spiritual things i see in other dimensions and they give me instructions to carry out the will of the gods i see these other dimensions and it's making me suspicious when i see all these people making motions with their hands and nodding at me it's all very interesting and suspicious and crazy and psychopathically introverted and disgustingly sincere and polite and dear to my heart and such i walk into the sun every day yeah that's what i said i walk into the sun every day and i stole some time and i sold some time to the past, and it's entertaining me, whenever i ask try to keep your pants on try to keep your face on cause i won't do that to myself disrupting the balance of all that is sacred, and holy takes away all my time, and my choices are few and my looks won't get me through i'm in league with a ghost and it's all because of you i'm in league with a ghost and it's all because of you

A Step Up 02:20

about

Released 8/24/11
Approx Running Time: 73:14
Tracks 23-28 are bonus tracks I rounded up from the DVD-R backup for this album, that were kind of not-done, but I felt done enough to put here. Maybe not, but what's done is done!

This is an interesting excursion into the land of lazy [that was actually a fair amount of work], made while I was living in what could be described as a large closet, at this really weird musician/artist/wacko hive called The Compound in 2011. Armed with a few different acoustics I borrowed from random ppl that were around, I quickly wrote a bunch of songs and recorded them in my room. It was either that or get an actual job.

released August 24, 2011

jul 16 - aug 24 2011 at the hole, austin tx

thanks to one of my roommates named bonnie [i think!] for letting me use her guitar on a lot of these songs. actually that was probably the reason i started making the album, cause at that time i had no acoustic and she let me borrow hers and i really liked playing it. don't know who she is or where she is now!
