to all my friends
To all my friends, here's a 101 on depression and fear and anxiety. Let's turn to the luna landing for inspiration. So, I ask the question, 'should I stay or should I go?' In the end, I'd like to see no more sorrow. Instead of making friends, it feels like I'm losing everyone. No matter what happens, don't lose your head.

utopia is banished
Cling to the things that make life worth living. Support art before it is abolished.

suburban home
We all want to leave something behind when we depart this planet, work hard and stay strong, fight the good fight, but sometimes we shouldn't be afraid to run. I don't need society if it is full of chickenshit conformists, I don't need a suburban home... and, make no mistake, these are the new dark ages.

to rise above
To all my friends... here is a 101 in depression. Speaking of lunatics and luna landings, or is it just Luna? The question is... Should I stay or should I go? Ultimately, a little more humility would free us of a lot of sorrow. We are not invincible. No one wants to find themselves losing everyone. But, no matter what, don't lose your head.

big fat pink baked bean
Are you a billionaire or are you engaged in the thirsty work of dying? Let's sip a Fireball and look to the satellites for a total hag.

crawled from the darkness
These are days of new as we venture out into this town tonight to mingle with the fast ones. Hoping to avoid indictment and fair leathered friends, we realise that it ain't over yet. It is as if we have crawled out of the darkness to bathe in the light.

New American
My poor friend me is now a new American and no longer an alien. So let's all Catch 23 or there will be sweet revenge. In the end, there is always a little light as we visit a basement in Raymond.

Pacific Standard Time
There seems to be a persistence of wrongful suspicion, and more of us will be hiring a stunt double to stay safe. However, most of the time, you're wrong. We often feel unlovable, but, in most cases, we are loved by someone, somewhere. Some leave with a sound as light as the very first snow, but there will always be a way. So, why the big pause? It's time to head off to live in pacific standard time for a few days.

Disconnected
The past is dead... it is time to focus on tomorrow instead. Therefore, don't become disconnected or sleepwalk through today, it's time to ride 'shotgun' into the future. Who is the Chesterfield King? Is it merely a case of the blind bleeding the blind? Have a great weekend, don't end up alone & distanced... unless you want to be. And stay safe.

select all, delete
Just as we begin to select all and delete, we come to learn that beautiful people are ugly, too. Despair and alcohol, we ask so many questions as we head north for the winter. Am I yours to destroy, I need to know, or am I merely here to throwaway?

Profane Rights
Is there one man who holds the world hostage? or is it a human Fly? It's possible that you may need some 'Wodka' to research this topic... or simply Alien 8 yourself and try to understand the adventures in zoochosis. You can always dance around the whisky or mosh with Sargent D. In the end, it is clear, that the joke isn't funny any more.

Who we are
Are you ready for some Vampire Lessons? We'll start off with some wise words from poor old grandad, ooh la la, before discussing our favourite enemy. Sip some red wine and get ready to learn about a life sentence along side those who try to rule with an iron fist. Think about who we are and check it out.

Me at the Stadium
A celebration of my own band, The Handicaps, and some of the music that we made over the years. Also a shout out to Maurix, my friend in Madrid, who designed the logo for this podcast as well as the logos for the band and most of the album work and posters. I also share some Lagwagon songs for the celebration of May 16th, and also as part of my homage to Maurix with whom I once sang Burning Out in Style as he played it on ukulele.
