New Release: "Quick Ear Warmer"

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

"Hey, Inconsiderate!" (Official Video)

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!"

VERY LITTLE KNOWN FACT!

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

New Single Out Now!

I caught up with a childhood friend by phone, not having seen her since we were teenagers, during which she'd informed me that her marriage went south, in part, due to the relationship being very co-dependent. After we got off the phone, I reflected on what she'd said, finding some of it quite relatable, and thought, "Hey, maybe there's a quirky love song in that!" So, here it is, The Sound of Monday's latest single, "(Be My) Co-Dependent Valentine"...enjoy! Check out the s
