I used to live at a place in East Hollywood called the Church of F.U.N. Back when you could live there. For no particular reason I decided to start a project in which I would write and record a new song every week and share it online until I felt like stopping. All the recordings were done in the main room there and it wasn't uncommon for there to be members of the house and friends hanging out or passing through while that was happening. After 14 songs I realized I had an album, and that is what this CD is.
I think Gibbons plays some banjo on a track, and Dusty plays tambourine or harmonica on a track. That might be on the other album from this project, Nine Weeks.
I wrote and played and engineered everything otherwise, as far as I can remember.

lyrics
Wake up early every day and eat a bowl of sand
Take a walk around the block with your shoes on your hands
Police sirens singing songs by Robert Zimmerman
Lately I've been thinking about how
Maybe I should get away
All my normal things are strange
I've been staring up into the sun
I don't see so good now
Take a spoon and scoop my eyeballs out onto my plate
Get an up close view of my tongue seeing how they taste
Share my recipe with the entire human race
Make a million dollars on it
Maybe I should get away
All my normal things are strange
I've been staring up into the sun
I don't see so good now (x3)
Holy books by modern crooks are planted in my head
Yogi virgin daughters thank based god for what we did
Little pickled blues and browns inside my cabinet
Looking for somebody hungry
Maybe I should get away
All my normal things are strange
I've been staring up into the sun
I don't see so good now
