The Johns Offical Website

Well, neither Jon nor I made it to 40, not that we had any delusions of doing so, so in the end we made out with just over 10, not bad when you consider there’s a recording for all songs, had they just needed to be "written" I’m sure we’d have more to show for it, but then you’d have to wait and we’d have to wait to hear them, or god forbid: play them for each other, which woudl effect Jon’s and My ability to drink beer and smoke cigarettes as we listened to everything.

And we like our beer and cigarettes.

Anyway, I hope to expand on this more, as I’m sure Jon does, but personally I’m hoping we can do it as a video blog, writing about writing songs is utterly assinine, if you ask me. So, anyway, despite any contradictions that lie in my previous blog posts on the progress of The Februarian Revolt, this is what I came out with in the end to cushion the blow of that horrible, horrible month of February.

1. REVOLT
2. MOTHER/DAUGHTER DOMINATRIX TEAM
3. “A HEADLONG JUMP TO A PREDETERMINED CONCLUSION”
4. I SUCK AT FRIENDSHIP
5. AN ODE TO PUBLIC SERVICE (FEATURING FORMER PRESIDENT RICHARD M. NIXON)
6. CLIMB BACK ON MY HORSE
7. VULTURES ON LSD
8. SLEEPWALKIN’ BLUES
9. LIE TO YOU
10. I DREAM OF THE SEA
11. GOODBYE TO THE ONE I LOVE
12. HOUSE OF THE LORD
13. MY FINAL GOODBYE

Jon is too right on that one. Why on earth did we pick 40? 20 certainly seems like a given, but 40? I just don’t see it happening…

14. I Dream Of The Sea

15. My Final Goodbye

16. Shackin’ Up

6.  [untitled]

7. good excuses

8. downwind

9. fanatic capitalist

10. submit/admit

lyric:

9. The Kum & Go (The Art of Relationship Communication)

10. Animal Crackers

11. Goodbye to The One I Love

12. I will Continue to Lie to You

13. Backscratcher

6. I Suck At Friendship

7. Sleep, Walk & Blues

8. An Ode To Public Service (Featuring former President Richard Nixon)

Unemplyment abounds and my gas bill keeps going up, St. Valetine’s Day is on the horizon and blah, blah, blah.

I hate February with a passion, writing 10 songs a week during this month is a challenge to be sure, but it is also a way of trying to focus that hatred and tap that passionate disgust for this stain on the calender.

For my part I shall not be giving away anythign but song titles for the moment as songs are finished. I will report more later as my will to live improves and my stress level increases the nearer we get to March, but, the work thus far has been rewarding and has produced:

1. The Februarian Revolt.

2. Mother/Daughter Dominatrix Team

3. "A Headlong Jump to a Predetermined Conclusion"

4. Vultures on LSD

5. Climb Back On My Horse

Holla!

Onarga.

p.s. If you see me and Carly soon and we’re wearing track jackets, please, don’t be taken aback by this, we’re just awesome, so awesome it’s kinda unreal.

So, Onarga and I have decided to attempt writing 40 songs a piece in February.

this is a chronicle. 

I’ve requested that we do not devulge the actual demos of the songs until a listening party at the end… after whcih we will most likely post many of the songs in a rotaional fashion (is that sensical?).

But I’d like to chronicle song titles and maybe some lyrics.

Here goes.  song #1 Cold war months
