about

Six songs about some of my favourite 80s films, including Nightmare On Elm Street, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Short Circuit, Heathers, and Evil Dead 2.

These songs sort of started over two years ago, but I got a bit sidetracked with other things. Due to having a lot more spare time at home these days, I finally got round to finishing them. They were mostly written and recorded in hotel rooms while travelling around Eastern Europe, and then in my kitchen, but hopefully you can enjoy them anyway. It's nice to get them out into the world after so long.

Stu Day wrote and recorded the parts for every single instrument on track 2, like some sort of musical genius, and Phily K provided some beautiful vocals on there too.

Remember That I Love You
by Kimya Dawson

Kimya Dawson is probably the biggest influence on my songwriting, she's a very talented lyricist & a wonderful person too. This album is my go-to when I'm having a bad day and need some inspiration. bad mother folker

The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and other favorites (2001) ($8)
by Jeffrey Lewis

Jeffrey Lewis is pretty much a genius, he's a great songwriter and also a great illustrator. This album is one of the records that got me into the genre and got me writing the sort of music I make. bad mother folker

Winter Wheat
by John K. Samson

Maybe my all-time favourite songwriter. I loved his work in The Weakerthans but his solo stuff is great too. At times he's witty & funny, other times heartbreaking in his honesty. This album's great. bad mother folker
