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
This is a song for the week, this is a thing that I wrote
It's not particularly good, but it'll do I suppose
I'm running out of ideas, found I've got nothing to say
Or rather the things that I do, I'd like to keep hidden away
I've written songs about love, songs about things that I hate
This is a song about songs, I'm trying to get on with my day
I used to think I was good, now I just think I'm ok
It doesn't matter who's wrong, only my friends hear me play
This is just something I do, this is a habit of mine
I can do other things too, its hard to budget my time
I wanna build a big house, a place we can all get along
I gotta get get out of this van, I gotta finish this song
