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
You scream and you shout and you fight and you cuss
You always look out but you never look at us
You smile and you cheer and pretend you can hear
One day I'll be your ears, one day I'll be your ears
The tree in the ground it grows up in the sky
It live a long time and eventually dies
The seeds in the dirt get turned into a church
With sermons that nobody hears, one day I'll be your ears
The future will come and eventually pass
You'll go where you'll go and you'll last if you last
You'll be broken up into all kinds of stuff
Adding up all of the years, one day I'll be your ears
