They’re pretty rough, especially “Perfect Timing,” but I liked them enough to throw at your face. (Feel free to play dodgeball with them!)

While I’ve been waiting for Applewine to be created from things I’ll never know, I wrote and recorded demos to eight (8) songs. At least two of them are hits: “Nuke Song” (written while watching too much CNN after North Korea tested their first nuke) and “Love Working Over Time.” Good musical notes, you see. But yeah, I should be getting the CDs in my grubby little mitts about a week from tomorrow. And shortly after that, Applewine will be available to order online.

Also, I will be co-recording the second Shaky Hands album along with Nathan Delffs, who has also recorded and played with The Castanets. That will be a fun album to make, like a unicorn party. I swear, homebrewed recordings are the best. WE’RE TAKING THE POWER BACK.

My next album is going to be called Missing Briefcase.
