I got a little peace of mind in my mexican friend

We get to talk in broken english

throw in a little spanish

and he learning stuff too

bernardo my little mexican friend 

COULD just talk all day with you!

he got a little nino he calls everyday round 3

talking on the payphone, i hear him say

porque mama porque?

bernardo bernardo que paso bernado

bernado  mucho ocupado     bernardo

and all those things they’d say

gave you a bad name

they say bernardo liked to beat his wife

yeah they had a couple a fuerte fights

so they kicked back to mexico

cost a thousand bucks to get him home

he hopped the border riding under a bus

but bernardo he never make a fuss

Excitedly working on a new solo album.  Just finished day 2 (12 straight hours).  There's about 4 songs that already sound way better than I ever imagined.  This is one of them.  "Coney Island", not yet mixed or finished or anything.

A little number I wrote about Jared Cheek back when he ran Village Green Records in Muncie.  He had a bad girlfriend that was sucking the soul out of him.  I had heard a bootleg recording of Dylan playing Forever Young with just vocals and guitar and thought it was the greatest thing I had ever heard.  Well, Cheek was sort of like an old man, like your favorite grampa, and I didn't want him to change either.

Worried Blues.  Borrowed from many musicians.  The slow tempo is mostly taken from Minneapolis' THE FLOOR BIRDS (RIP).  I put this on Texasville, which was my sequel to The Last Picture Show.

"Second-hand lover" from my SMITHVILLE album.  Which was a part of a trilogy of albums named after Terrence Malick films...Smithville being the town where Tree Of Life was partly shot.  Badlands and Days of Heaven were the other two.  The chords were inspired by listening to a lot of Nick Drake and the over all sound probably was an Owen influence.  I was a little bitter during the making of this.  The sound clip is from Hannah and Her Sisters... one of my favorite Woody Allen movies.

"Reno/Tahoe" from the soon to be released Noise, Idaho project O' COURAGE.  20 tracks in all.  On most I experimented with the loop record pedal.  I used 2 sound clips from 2 very different movies to touch on one certain subject "To hurt is to live".

"Never Meant to Be" from my COVERS album done casually in 2006.  It's a Denison Witmer song with Damien Jurado lyrics in the end.  Recorded during the THE LAST PICTURE SHOW sessions.  One mic - vocals/guitar at the same time (explaining the muddiness).  I used to play this aaaallllll the time.

Hammer Down by Magnolia Electric Co., and me.  I played banjo and sang the backup vocals.  I might do an entire album like this.  It would be awesome.

Written and recorded during the deepest darkest seasonal depression I have ever had in the back room of Village Green Records in the fall of 2005.  I recorded a whole album of this stuff called Muncie Blues.  This is the first track, Feeling Nostagic.
