This week you get a full production demo. The tune is called "Trick of Time" and it's got a nice big chorus lyric of "We all fall down" that speaks to being hopeful after being let down. The kernel of this tune goes back many many years musically to early work with my songwriting cousin Jeremey in Tampa Bay. The riff was always one of my favorites but the song never got finished or recorded. So, I thought I'd get it out, dust it off, and finish it up for fun. It's very ,a Cure like with the driving drum beat. But the chorus not so much.

ALSO! The Podcast contains a super special rarity! A live acoustic version of "Melt With You" covered by Atomsplit in Borders boodkstore in Athens, GA in 2002. This alone is worth the price of admission folks!

This week you get a sensitive little number I decided to call "Thick2Thin". The weird spelling be yet another homage to Prince. The song speaks to the dilution of a relationship through time. Typically early on you might call one "thick". But then as time takes it's toll. And reality takes it toll. And the Law of Rhythm takes it toll. Etc, etc, etc. You become "thin". You all know what I'm talking about. Think about how many "dead friends" you have out there. Such is the way I suppose. For the earth is slow, but the oxen....the oxen are patient. Hang in there kids. I assure you there will be light at the end of that tunnel. Also on this week's show is "Ms September" off Atomsplit's ONE TON SUIT classic digipack cd record. I mean it's September? What else would you expect.
