bllklly - i.e.

Five years since my Disemvoweled album, it's time for another one!

• Download - This ZIP archive contains all songs as mp3s, plus the CD booklet as a PDF.
• Stream - Here are the 14 songs as a single mp3 for streaming.
• Feedback - Here's what friends and family had to say about the songs.
• Booklet with lyrics, tracks - This is the CD-compatible booklet with lyrics and pictures - I bought 50 copies and have distributed them to everyone I thought might be interested. If I missed you, let me know.

Clicking on the 🎵 symbol will play that song; clicking on the title will get you to lyrics, sometimes a video, and probably an older recording of the song. Two of the songs (Heading South and Cured) have no lyrics in the booklet, you can click on the song name here or below to find the lyrics online.

1. 🎵 Isolation (Corona Trilogy Part 3) - My last song about Covid.
2. 🎵 Liquid Fire - Born to love volcanos!
3. 🎵 Fuck Cancer! - No song 15 months after my diagnosis, so it was clear what it'd be about.
4. 🎵 Daddy Didn't Get It - My friend Ron Cherry wrote these amazing lyrics in about 24 hours.
5. 🎵 Without - Some songs demand to be written.
6. 🎵 Edgelea Drive - Other songs take years - this is where I spent the first 5 years of my life.

9. 🎵 Heading South - Loud and proud.
10. 🎵 Stupid Angels - Sorry, angel fans.
11. 🎵 so my girl - She's so my girl!
12. 🎵 Blackbird in a Palm Tree - When my mother and I heard a blackbird singing in a palm tree, she said you'll probably make a song about this.
13. 🎵 Words Matter - With Word-a-Day and Wordle, and books and lyrics, words are an important part of every day for me.
14. 🎵 Cured - At first I thought of 'Cure for Depression', since The Cure's depressing music always makes me feel better.)
15. 🎵 Platypus Tinnitus - If it's instrumental, I can call it whatever I want.
16. 🎵 Phenomenally Unimpressed - I tried to translate my favorite German rocker's song into English.

My first album was disemvoweled, back in 2020.
