Some bald ego, to boldly go.

I figure most of you 3,000 to 9,000 people per day visiting this blog to check out the strange news have never heard my band Xenophilia (some of our oldest songs on myspace.)

Although I’ve played a few other places solo since then, this photo was from my last gig with Xenophilia.

I figure once you play the Arco Arena, what’s left? So I retired the band.

Truth be told, lately I’m not very excited about playing live. When fronting a band have to set up rehearsals, get everyone up to speed, deal with people’s schedules, find paying gigs, find people to come to your shows, then slog your gear around, set up, break down, hope for a decent sound man at each place … it’s a hassle.

Amy is still playing live with a cover band called “Love Train“.

I’m having so much fun playing around with original songs in the studio that I really don’t miss the live shows. Musicians, relate?

New Free Xeno Song: “Works Out Fine”

Check the Box.net area on the left for my latest song, “Works Out Fine.”

I’m trying to write more optimistic stuff.

I was thinking about the soldiers in the news who are killing themselves due to war stress. Brain experiments have recently shown that there is no free will…  so everything they did, they had to do.  This might be a source of comfort. Then again, the part they had to play included their exit. After something happens, you can say that it was all pre-written.

Note: Download if you like because I delete old versions and upload the latest mixes from time to time.

Works Out Fine

c2009 by Xeno

Every day
a thousand things can make you say, “no way”
Don’t deny
that sense is tough to make and so we fight

To make our picture of the universe
the only possibility
So everyone is wrong but me
And I should get some kind of award
or reward or something
you’ll see

Right, I’m totally right inside this song
I wrote it that way, wrote you wrong
Wrote me right
inside a scene where you get everything
that you ever wanted

Everything works out fine
In this world of mine
I came up with a good design
love how it works out

Its okay, everything’s supposed to be this way
All you’ve done, everything you did, you had to
Gone now all gone
Every problem that perplexed you once
is melted by the sun
