I am very proud to present 'The Surreal EP' as I do believe it is my strongest effort to date- not only in comparison to my solo releases, but to all my previous recordings including professional sessions with Thunk and Mosquitohead. And this one rocks, too. 'Breaking My Fingers' is a sort of post-punk break-up song, and it feels like the White Stripes meeting the Rolling Stones in a dark alley. The disc opens with 'Squirrels' a nice jangly pop number mostly concerned with how crappy last year was- this one just sort of fell out of me as I was learning how to use my new recording gear- and closes with 'Good Guys & Bad Guys', a Camper Van Beethoven cover. They have always been a huge influence on me and I wanted to pay a sort of tribute to them, and especially to their dedicated fan base, the 'Crumbs'. Crammed between these two is nothing but straight up rock and roll... well, ok, there is a little bit of weirdness thrown in... 'Let's Get Uncomfortable' sounds something like the British Invasion might have sounded if early '60's Liverpool had been inhabited by the likes of Frank Black, Steve Malkmus and John Linnell. 'Surreal', one of the slower selections, is a song that has been around a bit, but this new recording I believe breathes a new life into it. The other slow song, 'Sometimes You Know' is pure love song. I had to converse extensively with Paul McCartney and Jeff Lynne by Ouija Board to pull this one off, and also the inspiration of a real life love story unfolding before my eyes. 'The Waiting Life' I have been told sounds a bit like the Grateful Dead and a bit like Bob Dylan. This one has more words than the rest, again, like most of this disc, they just sort of fell out of me after i pressed 'record'. Put all together, the cd has a tightness in its composition, the songs are diverse but sit next to each other very well. It all fits, there is a consistent feel through out without ever getting redundant; the whole thing is crisp and shiny and made fresh to order. I hope everyone enjoys:)

	Squirrels   Someone was talking about the sun today and the things that they'll say About how its going to blow up anyway In a billion years Someone was talking about the crazy day that it's been So kiss it away   Someone was talking about the squirrels today and their radio act They alternate from particle to wave Yet they remain intact. Someone was talking about what a shitty year it has been So kiss it away.   Someone was talking about this passing year There is no sadness in seeing this one slip away And it seems that's the feeling everywhere, so kiss it away   Breaking My Fingers   I said Id really like to see you again you laughed and layed down in front of a train You know Id give up my eyes If youd take off your disguise Id give up my sight for the Visions you see Your breaking my fingers I broke your heart I gave you my word but you tore it apart.   I broke down your door on New Years Eve you only let me stay to try to get me to leave and now Im standing out in the hall and I think I know youll never call oh, Youve got my number and you know what I mean (worst line ever)   You dislocated my hip joint Ran over my head I offered a blanket and you wrecked my bed (tapping my spine, ice pick in my eye, etc...)   track 7 written by Molla/ Lowery/ Krummenacher/ Segel/ Pedersen/ Lisher published by Bug Music obo Camper Van Beethoven Music (BMI) all other tracks written & published by Robert E McWhorter (ASCAP) all rights reserved recorded at Hermetic Medical Records; January thru March 2007, mixed and mastered April 2007. executive producer: Hector Chomsky	The Waiting Life   and i dont get how you get by, youve closed your eyes, youre so surprised when you wake up everyday and its not yesterday again if you paint the windows black the sunlight cant attack you anymore. but you dont get what you gave up, you keep your home like a waiting room, and freedoms just another word for crippled by your fear so turn up the tv set and watch them ringing in another new year. how can you say its the end? when you never even really began, and theyre calling your name but you pretend you dont hear, youre only as real as you feel, and you dont have to feel a thing.   you dont have to feel a thing, you dont have to say a word, you dont have to sign your name or tell them who you are, or even if... you have no right to do no wrong, dont sing along with my mistakes, if thats what it takes to shut you up, and move along, theres only one more verse to rehearse before you can quit the band. how can you say its the end when you never even really began? and theyre calling your name, you pretend you cant hear. youre only as real as you feel, and you dont feel anything at all. you dont feel anything at all...   front photo by Martin McWhorter (Picasso, Barcelona, Spain) rear photo by Mark Lester (The Palace, Pioneertown, CA) one billion thank you's to JOhn Mockmore, Derek @ CD Baby, Eric @ MonkFunk, the Lulu folks, and Tami for letting me steal your words.
