my mind is like a piece of fruit picked and shelved too long it’ll start to rot, and stink to you my love is like my mind gotta cut into it dear baby and take a bite my heart, i think it’s fine my work is fine i just came here to tell you that i’m locked inside but that’s alright — i’m a regular guy cause you know my heart is dark inside like yours, it slips in time [unintelligible] oh my mind is slipping by it’s like a piece of fruit come by and take a bite etc etc i know what i’m doing i’m sitting here tending the bone i do you just might not like the way i am you might just think it’s alright my mind is fine even though i’m not i’m soft for you if you think that i’m good you don’t have to be tell me beige is the piece of heart i know i’m not the one to be counted on my brain if you want a serious man, you’d better look the other way

about

i hadn't had an acoustic guitar in several years until a couple of days ago when i found this sorta intermediate-size first act at the thrift store for $8, which i purchased for the smaller hands in the house. i piddled around on it for about a half hour over the course of the next 2 days, then on the third day (9/14) i had some free time and got the recording gadget out; i "wrote" (well, i did write a couple of lyrics, but mostly improvised them, as with the music), and recorded this ep, in the sequence it appears here, in a chunk of about an hour. i tried to stay open and let some sounds come through me, and i had so much fun. i'm pretty pleased with the result(s), and i hope you'll be also. it's raw and compelling, i think. and, again it was tons of fun & good for my health. *it's very much inspired by the music of avey tare, especially the album "campfire songs," and the newer track "man of oil" (thanks, avey!), and some "crust punk"/squatter songs a friend recently shared with me (i'm pretty unfamiliar with the "genre" but dug the aesthetic). anyway, good. the title is a reference to an old joke between two college friends; admittedly, it annoyed me at the time, but it definitely stuck. be well, friends. w/t
