new ideas for a new record - i've got all these songs I've been playing for the past year live that I haven't recorded - plus a bunch of new songs that I can't wait to record - most importantly I have so many great friends who have added so much to these songs throughout the year - so the idea now is to record the older songs with contributions from all of my dear friends (this means you, Brandon, Matt, Kit, Liesl, Kyle, Emily, Tom, Greg, Daver) try these songs as a communal spirit - call it hey!america - I'll also keep writing in my attic and put the best of the best on the record - here are the songs on the shortlist right now -

Way of Salvation, Bombs, Turn it on, Dissonance, Streets are Haunted, Please Come Back Home, Indiana Summer, Last War, St. Patrick, Lady and the Son, BILL OREILLY, Bono for Pope, Become Ourselves

NEW SONGS - Goodbye Rock and Roll, hey!america, 15th Psalm/American Streets, Lay Aside

songs I just might rework for this one - Coming in Last, Wiretap, Worktown

peace.joel
