Okay, well, it's hard to pick just one, but this one is a worthy candidate for the top slot. There are so many great TV themes from the 60's alone, but not only is this an awesome piece of music, with it's rhythmic catchiness and memorable melody, but as a kid, I really loved the comedy and in particular the character performances highlighted on this program. It's "Get Smart"! Please check out my vid. highlighting more about this below...enjoy! Thanks. #thesoundofmonday #fav

From the vaults! "Quick Ear Warmer" is our new EP, out TODAY! Presenting our collection of four upbeat J'Blammo Pop (our own genre!) tunes, recorded in 2003, produced by Danny Weinkauf, bass player with They Might Be Giants, and Charles Newman for Mother West. I wrote these tunes in a very different episode of my life, rife with uncertainty, insecurity, anger, and a huge dose of whimsy and humor as resident coping mechanisms. My friend Danny offered to produce the tracks as

With the release of our new single comes this awesome, fun video by our brilliant friend & colleague, Evan Seplow and his company, TheImageFactory. I wrote this song in the late 90s, after riding the NYC subway in rush hour traffic. Fortunate to get a seat, I found myself canopied by a straphanger's NY Times directly atop my head. As I sat there in that "tight tent" just barely grazing my scalp, I screamed to him in my head, "Hey, Inconsiderate! Move your #$%@-in' newspaper!"

Here's a first glimpse of the new music video single for our tune, "Hey, Inconsiderate!", pending its official Mother West release this Friday, August 26th...enjoy!

I don't think I've ever shared this (even with friends), but when I was a kid, I used to build miniatures--usually musical instruments, such as guitars, amps, keyboards, and drums (pictured here, circa 1984-85?), and a nightclub/concert stage to house them all on, (also pictured here, though mostly cropped). Out of boredom, and the constant need to express myself creatively, I would spend a lot of time trying to create something from nothing (not unlike the way writing a song
