| Duck - 01 - insomnia.mp3 | I had a lot of trouble sleeping around this time. Many nights sleepwalking to the couch. This was originally called "Falling Asleep At A Red Light" from a friend's description. | |
| Duck - 02 - 27mg.mp3 | I started VERY slowly weaning off Cymbalta here as it was killing the creativity. The first step was to go from 30mg to 27. | |
| Duck - 03 - There was no Atari (W Jorge V).mp3 | Jorge sent me the drum track and I wrote the song around it. This is a mostly true story. One year I got a note for Christmas that my parents had ordered me an "Odyssey 2" (I really wanted an Atari, and it works better lyrically). Fast forward 6 months and my dad coming home drunk with a used Odyssey 1 video game instead which was essentially pong. Demanded I hook it up at 2am and play it right then and there. Good times. Ironically, this system is rare and valuable now, but at the time I was just utterly devastated. Eventually I bought my own fucking Atari 2600. | |
| Duck - 04 - Caturday (W Jorge V).mp3 | Another song with Jorge kicking ass on drums. I was experimenting with VST guitar sounds here. | |
| Duck - 05 - stop-405.mp3 | On our way back from seeing a concert in LA, Chris and I got stuck in a godawful traffic jam at 1am on the 407 in LA. We got home around 4am. | |
| Duck - 06 - file not found.mp3 | Very weird time/beat on this. | |
| Duck - 07 - reed alert.mp3 | Look Chris I can write something heavy and proggy oh wait no I can't. | |
| Duck - 08 - Pink Fraud Wish You Were Animals (W Jorge V).mp3 | Just a jam with me and Jorge where I rip off Pink Floyd in many ways. | |
| Duck - 09 - mio2.mp3 | Patty: "Did you call the song MIO because you are drinking water with Mio flavoring?" Tony: "....yes" |

| Duck - 10 - light.mp3 | ||
| Duck - 11 - surfer.mp3 | A friend asked me to write a song so she could write the lyrics. After a few years I gave up and just went with it as is. | |
| Duck - 12 - then.mp3 | Rewrite of "Then Along Came You" early Tony/Kelly | |
| Duck - 13 - futures (jose gonzales cover).mp3 | I like this song a lot but hate the ending on the original song which is just kinda noise. Tried to come up with something else. | |
| Duck - 14 - this is weird.mp3 | Ya know, it really is! WTF | |
| Duck - 15 - ballast.mp3 | Throwing off the dead weight | |
| Duck - 16 - left behind (jose gonzales cover).mp3 | Another song of his I really like. | |
| Duck - 17 - get in the car.mp3 | Mostly stream of consciousness writing | |
| Duck - 18 - interesting year.mp3 | It amuses me now that 2019 was an "interesting year". It sucked, but 2020 was worse, 2021 was even worse and now 2022 is worse to the point that I worry that writing all these notes is moot because humanity is really intent on destroying itself. It is sad that I think that maybe it is for the best. We sure fucked things up. |
