It's the Hangover Adventures!!

Hangover Adventures

This is a song about what it feels like to have a hangover; in recording this little number, I attempted to make the song sound like how a hangover feels.

Pulling Weeds

Pulling Weeds

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. In this one, the main character goes to her folks' house for spring break, and for whatever reason, a miracle happens. She's sitting in the sun, pulling weeds with her mom, and they're just talking about regular stuff, including how fucked up the fucked up relationship is. Something about that made the sun come back out. The girl's soul comes back. Her depression is gone all of a sudden!

Just for kicks: here's the original version that I recorded of the song earlier in the day. I decided it needed a little extra something, so I did the more peppy version, which is the one above.

Pulling Weeds Slow Low Version

 

Hammerhead

Hammerhead Mix 4

An idea for a song came to me in a dream about a weird double-entendre sort of thing. A hammerhead is a type of weird shark, and maybe, the term "hammerhead" could mean someone who gets hammered all the time. So, this song is about a shark that gets hammered all the time.

Dissertation Proposal/Typing

Dissertation Proposal

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. The main character is working on her dissertation proposal, or I should say, she wants to work on it. It's due the next day. But her poopy boyfriend is keeping her on the phone, talking her ear off about boring stuff. She comes up with an idea she wants to get down, and she starts typing it up. Fucked-upness ensues.

What Happens Next???????????

 

All I Want To Do Is Songs About Death

All I Want To Do Is Songs About Death

 Here's a song about how I've been mainly motivated to write about death and existential issues and stuff these days. I guess it's kind of a statement of the obvious, given my recent track record.

It's the Night Before My Dissertation Proposal Is Due

It's The Night Before My Dissertation Proposal Is Due

 This is a true story, and the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It as the night before my dissertation proposal was due. I was workin' on it and thought I'd talk to mean controlling boyfriend dude for just a few minutes. Y'know. A goodnight call and all that. And he proceeded to talk my ear off.

I Did Not Tell My Boyfriend

I Did Not Tell My Boyfriend

 This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's about how when I auditioned for that play, I didn't tell my dumb boyfriend about it.

Let Her Speak: A Lost Voice Comes Home Again and an Ice King Loses His Crown

 

I'll write more about this book in weeks, months, and years to come. But the description on the back of the book says: A clinical psychologist lets herself speak when she tells her own trauma narrative in an indie graphic novel. Drawing on her education and training in psychology, she embarks on a journey into her psyche in order to exorcise an abusive ex-boyfriend from 20 years ago. Fasten your seat belts: This trip is trippy.

Fun Fact: If you follow this blog, this is the book that the Fucked Up Relationship Album is based on.

She's Turning Into String/Ghosts

She's Turning Into String

 Here's a little ditty I wrote 23 years ago. I'd been goin' through a major depressive episode, and then it resolved suddenly. Once it resolved, I wrote the song. Fun-fact: in my original recording, I played the same banjo I'm playin' in today's recording. I'm old. My banjo's old. But my banjo isn't as old as me.
