Bitter Suite Swan Songs
SP372 Released 7/4/07

1. "Bitter Suite" 6:44

A dialogue between apologetic father and bitter, resentful child that ends with a joyous call to celebrate life. With its pop sensibility and grand orchestral / choral sweep that recalls classic songs like "The Boxer," "Hey Jude," and "Champagne Supernova," this is the magnum opus in the Poppermost catalog... so far.
2. "Concentrate On Me" 2:30

A quick piece of boy-girl flirtation in the form of a 2 and a half minute pop song.
3. "Down" 4:08

23-year-old writer composes this type of song to impress his first serious love interest. Thank you, Aimee.
4. "Forever Valentine" 3:25

What else can I say except I love you, Debbie.
5. "Isabella Vina" 4:15

A musical mosaic written and performed in honor of the youngest member of the Poppermost family. Remember that you CAN be anything you want to be. Dare to dream!
6. "I Will Begin" 4:01

The thrill of victory and the agony of watching all of your friends grow up and get married.
7. "Kristen" 3:11

This is a song written for another special member of the Poppermost tribe. Thanks again for the Beatles poster, Kristen!
8. "Love Sweet Love" 2:00

A two minute commercial for love and peace again. It's been too long since the "Summer of Love" gave us a glimpse of what COULD be.
9. "My Condition" 2:36

A slice of sunshine for that special person who is always there for you when life becomes a tragic comedy of errors. Special thanks to Brian Hudson. Loosely based on the early California-style country-pop of the Eagles and Poco.
10. "One More Mile (To Go)" 4:01

A Replacements-style rock song about the folly and privilege of youth: buddies, booze, and bravado.
11. "Punched Up Red, Black, and Blue" 3:10

Folk music reflection about the day of the Rodney King Verdict and the resulting riots in Los Angeles, written while it all happened.
12. "Swan" 4:25

We all feel like ugly ducklings, anxious for the day when we turn into swans. The waiting is always the hardest part.

Absolutely Sonic

SP366 Released 10/9/04

Old in influence, but new and inventive in spirit, Absolutely Sonic is a muscular 12-song collection of high-voltage, catchy rock about "living life on your own terms." Highly infused with snarling guitars, infectious rhythms, clever lyrics, and classic 70's FM rock spirit, this sonic journey to "absolute rock and roll heart" is not for the faint of heart.

1. "Sonic" 0:13 - 13 second "your attention, please" lead in.
2. "Myself" 3:42 - Swaggering hard rock song about "life at the bar."
3. "Erika" (Absolutely Sonic version) 5:24 - Rock song about a modern working woman and her end-of-the-day loneliness.
4. "She Let Go" 3:27 - Upbeat rock pop song about "relationship meltdown" and self preservation.
5. "Catch Me If I Fall" 4:11 - "The pitfalls of pride" wrapped in a hard rock shell.
6. "Let It Shine" 3:41 - Rock and roll "advert" for living life on your own terms.
7. "Blood and Luck" 4:03 - The aftermath of love, dressed like the Byrds.
8. "Butterfly Inside A Jar" 3:13 - Acoustic track about feeling trapped and unable to soar.
9. "Whiskey Flat" 2:25 - Tribute to Sam Philips and the sound of Sun Records.
10. "Bang Bang" (Absolutely Sonic version) 5:11 - Southern-fried slide-driven rock song about finding success and self-fulfillment.
11. "Stickfigure Girlfriend" (Absolutely Sonic version) 3:15 - Rock pop song about a man creating the ultimate woman companion using pencils and crayons.
12. "This Time Tomorrow" (Absolutely Sonic version) 5:15 - A tribal drum-based rocker condemning the lies and secrets of a past love.
13. "Duchess" 2:19 - A bonus track (ala Harry Nilsson). This song is a tender tribute to a boy's beloved dog, his furry best friend.
