I think I will call mine “ **Jesus in a Porkpie Hat** ”. It doesn’t have any meaning; just has a nice ring and evokes a pleasant visual. I suppose I’d have to write such a song as well. Point of information: I will not, in fact, be releasing an album nor writing a song. mmm ---

Depending on what mood I’m in… **Nothing Ever Comes Out Right** - Wimpy acoustic emotional ramblings - low sound quality, high as fuck. **Morning Songs for Evening People** - wrote that title in a hypnagogic state, thought it sounded intriguing upon later discovery. **Sometimes a Great Moment** - classic rock so self-righteous Bono Himself would cringe. I like to record my original songs on garageband, sometimes I upload it to iTunes so I can listen to it in the car. Some of the various titles I’ve added just to fill the info out (in alphabetical order!): **All My Favorite Salt Cities** _Amorous Bindings Aww Puppies Black Sheets Cheap Plastic Awkward Love Cold Caffeine Shakes D-Sides Farewell to You, Too For a Minute You Felt Like Heaven Impressionist Skydiving Liberty Coins Little Narcotics The Madonna on a Mountaintop next to of course god americas i Obligation Pale Brews A Parliament of Lights Perennials Perils of the Third Rail Persuers Russian Things Salty Salty Palms The Shakes Sleep Ketchup A Studio Loft Named Veronica There’s No ‘C’ in ‘You Later’ We Were Perfect Once What’s Fun Anymore? You Stood Like Archers’ Empty Bows_\* Samples available to those interested, ha! It ended up being more than I thought. I have a thing for titles, I guess. ---

Since my album will be like a child to me - i.e., me giving birth to my musical offspring - I will name it… **Bob**. Bob the Album - I like it. We’ll refer to it as Robert for the more formal ballads on it. ---
