I've done it again- I slacked. So, I'm gussying up the place and pulling out the tunes. Let's mingle, while the music takes on a life of its own, randomly dashing from one jaunty summery thing to another. Full tracklist: http://friendistan.org/P/frf46.html

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what's in the ear? Why do we get stuck with metaphors like earworms? These songs celebrate and mock the creative process, which at the very least might prod us to peer into the paintbox again. Full tracklist: http://friendistan.org/P/frf39.html

The meddlesome march of time at least has some music to go along with it. 2011 was a doozy, and '12? Well, these are interesting times. Here's to hoping the year of the baker's dozen will be just as interesting, but without as much "damn age." Full tracklist: http://friendistan.org/P/frf38.html
