Cedar Waxwings Cedar waxwings in my persimmon tree Cedar waxwings in perfect symmetry We're relaxing, just you and me Let the waxwings sing Cedar waxwings, now they're overdue Cedar waxwings hanging over you The exact thing that you never knew They've been away too long Where have they gone? Will you fly back to me, will you utter "I will?" From a tree just like Julia Butterfly Hill We will drink panther juice, let our chinchillas loose In the heat of a toasty orange glow Cedar waxwings in the November skies Cedar waxwings, they don't remember why

The Amber Tambourine The time machine on your finger Is an ancient instant messenger Of insects and reptiles and zingers Of Laura and Adam Schlessinger The cafe at the edge of the continent The 6th planet from the sun The seaside town of daunting rent And coin operated shot guns The sloths and coatis so clever Stingless bees and lizards green All play the same song forever On the amber tambourine Chocolate old fashioned or long johns Orange Buzzz or Tropicoool Be careful, don't pick the wrong one Or fall from the tadpole's pool

Wheel Of Darkness Scooter's in the dust bin, dusting like a dark lord Peanut's in the corner chewing on the cardboard I'm on the hedgehog playing with the barre chords Wheeling in the dark like furry little vampires Lighting all the candles and singing around the campfire Jim Reese finally brings back the amplifier Wheel of darkness show me the light Wheel of darkness roll through the night Monday and Thursday, Scooter gets a hork check Javier is downstairs, cooking up some pork, blech You're on the couch watching Michael York's neck I'm in the kitchen peppering my head You're reading chick lit that you've already read Scooter and Peanut are huddled in their bed

Endless Summer I'm going cruising in my Woody Lighting up my barbecue Turning on the air conditioner Nice to see you CO2 Waxing up my brand new surfboard Made from pure Brazilian trees Once I lived 10 miles inland Now my front yard is the sea It's gonna be an endless summer Let's all hop in the Hummer It's such a bummer that the water is so warm It's an endless season And it stands to reason That we can't all make it through the next big storm There's no more fish left in the ocean The polar bears have jumped the shark No more oil in the desert We're left sitting in the dark Now it's summer the whole year long No one ever sees the snow Getting hotter every day now What we'll do God only knows

Rock Hyrax 02:09
Rock Hyrax Rock Hyrax, Bring me no more tie racks Stock market buybacks BNC or triax Crawl up into my slacks Sugar Glider, Spread your wings out wider House made out of cider Giant furry spider Cuddle up beside her Bush Baby, How long can your day be? In the evening maybe You'll wake up and bravely Sit upon my grey knee

Radioactive Cat My thyroid is hyper, my uranium's depleted I eat a sandpiper when iodine's needed My butterfly shaped gland won't regulate My abnormally high metabolic rate Radioactive cat, Radioactive cat Radioactive Shadow, Radioactive cat There's a doctor in White Plains with a condo to place me in To cure all my night pains Won't you take me there Stacy Lynn?

Sunday Morning Tea Sunday morning tea Under the orange dragonflies Listening to Bensky Awake beneath pagan skies Off to the farmer's market We pass by little Stonehenge Woodpecker on the bark sits Finally the squirrels get their revenge Italian man plays polkas As we eat Russian pastries And drink Mexican mochas Everything in town is so tasty Who gets blasted and who probes? Check the mail and the friends page Wearing our velvet robes We clean the little rodents' cage Across the great divide Above and beyond the landlord Let's go for a bike ride To look at houses we can't afford Later in the autumn eve When the soup is on the stove We'll dance around like grebes And watch shows about Karl Rove Retiring to the boudoir The chinches have had their hay Wouldn't it be a good law If it were Sunday every day? Sunday morning tea One day more, why can't we?

Peabo 01:50
Peabo The animated movie is over The credits are on the screen Another happy ending I hope you don't forget what you've seen You've heard this song already The one the penguin sang to the fairy We've changed the instrumentation To make it more adult contemporary This is what we call the Peabo This is the last song you'll hear Before you go outside to the real world Let me make this perfectly clear Movies teach you lessons Believe in yourself and all that crap But more importantly: Buy the toys, buy the soundtrack, buy the DVD Don't forget the fast food tie-ins And part two is coming soon With another Peabo from me

about

"November" was written and recorded in 30 days, in November of 2006 as part of NASOALMO (www.nasoalmo.org).

Their guidelines state:

(Inter)National Solo Album Month is a fun, free annual competition in which musicians write and record an entire album during the month of November - all by themselves.

NaSoAlMo favours enthusiasm and perseverance rather than perfectionism. It encourages musicians and would-be songwriters to silence their inner critic for thirty days in order to inspire and maximize productivity. The albums are likely to be hastily written, off-time, and out of tune; the main objective is to just do it.


The 8 bonus tracks are Garageband demos done between 2006-2009.
