“Blue Spark” was an outtake from Common Rider’s Unity Music album recording sessions. Later released on a posthumous EP, the song packs a lot of rock & roll into two minutes. As singer-songwriter Jesse Michaels offered, “The lyrics detail the normal, everyday descent into madness that is the human mind.” If so then insanity never sounded so good! This song is gr8.

A political rant that seems to ripen with time. Originally released on the “Ed Haynes Sings Ed Haynes” LP, this is most recently getting attention as the lead off track on the first MP3 Jackpot Winners compilation on Fun Fun Fun Recordings.

Once Eric Din had written “Fish In a Tree”, which by the way doesn’t sound like any other song he’s ever written, I knew this song would either be a glorious throw away for the band Hobo or something truly special. Once Eric one-talked the vocal that day at Hyde Street Studio – he made it special. Since then it’s always been one of my favorites. I wish I could bottle this combination of poetry in the lyric, tempo of the song, and vocal quality. Then I’d be able to use it over and over. Oh, what a producer’s dream. Plus good job of recording by Josh Tobias. P.S. There’s a reward for anyone who can explain what this song is about.
