Change Thief...Now with more YouTube!

Please visit my youtube channel at youtube.com/changethiefvideo. I'm working on it now and I will continue posting videos in the future, so keep an eye out. I will be posting another full set soon from my show at the Abbey a few weeks back. I'm getting the tape tomorrow.

Home Again, or The Fear of Being On Your Shoulder

Here is my loose idea for my next album. It will be titled "On Your Shoulder." The cover will be a picture of me leaning on a girl. I will have no shirt on and I will have words written in black marker on my body that will emphasize my darker side. For example, Thief would appear across my forehead, Adulterer on my chest, Liar, Cheat, etc.

I'm also pondering a disc called Home Again. A nice warm fuzzy title, but with artwork that conveys having to come back to the nest after a failure to launch.

"The Fear of Being Maimed" will be the name of the project I produce with Nathan. It should include wider arrangements of some of my better work (drums, distorted guitar). It will be done on nicer equipment too, so it may be a welcome escape from my broke-ass low-fi "philosophy" . [How did being too broke to afford proper equipment become a genre?]

Please let me know how you feel about this. I know I can't really make you fill out this comment card, but it will make me look good in front of my manager.

the long and short

I just finished a new song today. It's very Frank Black, and since I was just listening to his acoustic demos from Come on Pilgrim, that makes sense. Please come to my Abbey show next week. I miss you dearly.

the long and short

i've got no one to look up to
but my old lady she bought a canary
it sang to me sweetly
and i cut off it's head

she's got no one to talk down to
and i'm just an old man
i'm reckless and gray
but i sing to her sweetly
cause she cut off my head

i've got it made your mine
i'm so fucking horny that i'm blind

she's got the goods and the good are plenty
