144 (the Album)

Extremely lo-fi recording that I did in 1999 under the moniker “Rob-Bob” (college era nickname). Most of this was recorded on a really crappy NEC laptop using the built-in microphone or an awesome Pentium I Packard Bell desktop using an $8 Adaptec microphone. Only the best for me!

Better Than You

I wrote this after an engineering class in college. You see, I was TOTALLY lost in this class. But then it dawned on me that everyone else was even MORE lost, and therefore my sucky performance on exams and homework will likely be less bad than everyone else's and therefore, I'll get an A. So please, don't be offending by this little ditty, I seriously don't have any kind of superiority complex!

Mr. Space Ghost

This was written about the tough times right out of college when, seriously, I kid you not, I had to cancel my cable for financial reasons. At the time I was a big fan of Cartoon Planet (which I always thought was cooler than Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast, but I never hear about Cartoon Planet anymore). Anyways, seriously I was missing Brak and friends and so I wrote this little letter...

B.F.D.

You know what this means. This is just a random spewing of "who cares" moments to people freaking out to trivial things.

Loudspeakers of Hell

I remember thinking of the idea for this in the cafeteria of a dorm when I was still in college. I then distinctly remember writing the words in February 1997 (after college). I really like taking a preposterous idea and then running with it with lots of details. That's what I did...

Drowning

Mostly about living in a filthy home. Not much has changed since this was written in 1999.

Jetson Food Pill

This was a situation where I was starving after work and we had no food in the house and I felt weak as hell. I sat down and strummed one chord and spewed out this rant. Certainly I exaggerated my craziness and I grabbed the Nixon Waterman poem before I sat down to record this, but otherwise it was all impromptu and reality.
