Extreme Man

Spring has sprung! The songs are certainly in full bloom around here. We actually had two songs written this week to choose from. We opted to record "Extreme Man" because of the more simplistic musical aesthetic of the song. This will allow us to do two very important things: 1) Spend more time making next week's song as lush and fabulous as it wants to be and 2) GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY NOW!

Full Drawn

While the title of this week's song is "Full Drawn", it marks the halfway point of our little blog project here. It seems like if a band or artist is around long enough they always end up with at least one Spanish flavored song. And we figured that since we are 26 songs into our 52 song journey it was time for us to do one. Consider this our "La Isla Bonita", or just a tequila fueled duet.

Don't Wig Out

This week's song is the long awaited, much talked about new Luv Club jam! It's a bit like Ladytron meets Lady Beware. The song is sung from the point of view of an eight-fingered stalker who obsesses over long-haired women because of their ability to grow and regrow hair while he is stuck with two bald spots where his missing fingers once were. Now dance!

Chicken Egg

When people hear that we're writing a song a week for a year they often want to know just how we do it. What inspires us? Do we come up with the music or the lyrics first? We really don't have too many solid answers to give folks. Some weeks the songs are a struggle, other times they come together easily. There have been some weeks where I've written the lyrics and handed them to Scot to build a song around. Usually though, I wait for the music to be done and get my lyrical inspiration from the sound and vibe of it. This week was a magical anomaly where the lyrics and a melody just started flying out of me in a wonderfully unstoppable way. I was even able to overcome my technical difficulties and record a scratch track of the song into Scot's itouch ALL BY MYSELF! So you see, it really doesn't matter which comes first, the chicken or the egg, we love this song and hope you will too.

Pie In The Sky

This week's song is seasonal...a Lenten song loud enough to resurrect the dead. Scot likes to scream and I'm finding that our heavy songs are my favorites at the gym. By now, I'm sure you've all seen the mark of the smudge-faced parishioners trying to give up a few of their favorite vices. You might even suspect that the early completion of this week's song means that we gave up procrastination, but really we just want to be able to go out on a Friday night. It's been awhile. We'll probably be back to barely making deadline next week.

Adam's Rib

Nothing goes right to a boy's head like the kindly worship of his mother. Usually does more harm than good though, right ladies? This song explores the ego reconstruction that a man has to undergo if he's ever going to be worth a darn and truly make his mother proud.

Chalk Met Ink

This is our most delicate song to date. Almost feels like it could break apart at any moment, much like an egg shell or brittle piece of chalk. "Chalk Met Ink" tells the tale of childhood insecurities that later manifested themselves in an Easter egg hunt for love which eventually culminates in a Pentecost of sorts, enabling the songstress to finally hear and speak the language of love. Listen to this song after Vespers.
