Feat 52: Week #16
wicked late.  pisser…  this new years resolution is officially kicking my ass.
just got a starter lapsteel this week.  unfortunately, it’s a bit harder than it looks.  i have a hard enough time singing in tune and now i’ve added an instrument to my collection that requires an ear for pitch.  great…
 

Feat 52: Week #15
early spring morning… we do it to ourselves.
 

Feat 52: Week #14
i’m slow… i think about things a lot… too much, in fact. it gets me in trouble a lot…  ok, just a little. and just for fun, i’m gonna blame it on my parents…
 

Feat 52: Week #13
Feat 52 has reached the end of it’s first quarter!! holy shit… didn’t think it would take this much out of me…
this week’s song is about moving… and maybe also about not really having any good allies in the process. but at the end of it all, the move is for the right reason…
 

Feat 52: Week #12
ever notice that when you start listening to and consoling a friend, someone in a rough patch, that you at some point get around to talking about yourself? “yeah, that happened to me… this is what i did/said/felt…” etc.
no? just me then. i’m the only jerk in the room…
not the kind of song i typically write. i don’t usually… well… pop rock.
 

Feat 52: Week #11

another song that was born in a conversation i had with my friend sarah.  there was a piece on npr earlier this week about another great american export: the hatred of our own bodies. it is, after all, the american way. shut up, be productive, buy lots of shit, and cheat death/aging along the way.  no wonder we’re more depressed and alone these days than ever before.

 

Feat 52: Week #10

the other side of a break-up…  i have a good friend who’s going through one now.  they always suck…  even worse in the spring when the body’s electric with… it.
