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

To further add to the deluge of Michael Jackson commentary and tributes out there in the past few days, here is a cover of “Man In The Mirror” that I recorded in an afternoon over a year ago. It was recorded just for fun, because at the time I was listening to that song a lot. I had to get it out of my system. It’s a great song!

I just uploaded six new mind-moisturizing songs from my new album Public Domain Rainbow to my Myspace profile. The album isn’t coming out quite yet, but I thought I’d put a little “sneak peek” out there so you can see if you REALLY want to continue living without Alex Arrowsmith in your life or not. Maybe the songs will even make you refer to yourself in the third person. Like me. However, if they make you refer to yourself in the second person then you might need to seek holistic medical treatment.
Here’s a rundown of the songs:
Sexual Taxi — A Prince/Beck-esque romp through the wrong (or most awesome?) part of town.
A Different Story — Slightly proggy, late-80s/early-90s R.E.M. pop complete with sped-up vocals that only Ween would approve of.
Bad Vibrations — Multi-movement power pop, somewhat reminiscent of songs like “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” “Paranoid Android” and–oops!–”Good Vibrations.”
Saving Up The World — Shiny, hipster-friendly pop complete with ironic synth.
Painted Over — Bouncy, Beatlely, not for rooftops.
My Minimum — Straight-forward power pop that mentions clam chowder.
Like I said, I don’t know when Public Domain Rainbow is coming out, but hopefully sometime later this year. I gotta get my funds together and whatnot. Or find a filthy rich oil tycoon who will release it for me. Those oil men sure know good music when they hear it, believe you me.
Post a comment on my Myspace or something while you’re at it! Let me know that my reality is not a trauma-induced illusion!
Peoples! Lovers! Dudes! Fiends! I just made a video for a new song called “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Actually, it’s an old song; it was co-written with Mayhaw Hoons from The Shaky Hands back in 1999, who also put in some singing and clapping duties on this recording of it. After years lost in the wilderness, it finally finds a home on my forthcoming album Public Domain Rainbow, which is being released someday by somebody.
Hopefully more videos of new songs will be coming soon!

Small change of plans regarding the EP: it will no longer contain the song “Bomb Iran,” because I don’t even really like it that much and I don’t wanna deal with any potential legal issues with a song I can’t get behind. Instead, it will be called Make Me Dinner and will be a digital-only release. I just wanna get the songs out. I might add another song or two to the EP as well, and the final track listing will be announced as soon as I lock it down with indestructible chains and a force field.

Applewine is currently in the process of having its packaging printed and its master stamp made at the factory in Jersey. Yes, I know this. I’ve been checking the status online several times a day. I should have the CDs at my doorstep a week from today. Hopefully neither a hobo nor a white baseball-hat wearing jock get to them at my doorstep before I do.
And remember, you can download “Engulf The Manatee” from Applewine on this very website! It’s been over in the free songs box there for a couple weeks now. Maybe you noticed. Please imbibe that with your ears and get ready for the whole pancake, coming so soon.
