DRUMS!

drums online_NEW

New single inspired by this photograph of my friend Paul back during a really super happy time in my life.
Life is great now, don’t get me wrong but my life at the time of this photograph was about as close as I was ever going to get to being my own version of Jack Kerouac.
Memories of dancing in Paul and Rosie’s Lombard, IL apartment kitchen to Jonathan Richman’s “Modern Lovers 88” record singing “I love hot nights”.
Memories of messing with rock journalists.
Memories of all of the people that were hanging out.

The chorus of the song is:
“a million miles an hour is where it’s at. is this that, that is or is it that.”

I’m not a nostalgic kind of guy but sometimes you need to remember the super, super happiest of times to shake you and spin you back in the right direction. They were the happiest for a reason.

Forgotten to the core

Forgotten to the core online_NEW

New single
called “Forgotten to the core”

The song is about a dream I had about the comedian Bill Hicks mixed with some contemplation about God and how human beings screw everything up.

I think.

Bill Hicks was great.
Oh, that’s the great Tommy Leather on the cover of this thing.
You can listen/download here.

Requiem for a pant shitter

Requiem for a pant shitter web_0001_NEW

The new, new, newest in new.
The songs are deciding things for themselves.
I’ve had the title for a long time now but it has only made sense to me as of late.
The only decision I had to make for this release was whether it should be “pant” or “pants”.
I thought about flipping a coin to decide and ended up not even doing that.
I guess I didn’t make that decision either.
Nice!

Warm Vomit From The Sun

warm vomit_0001_NEW
I’ve made a new thing.
A full length solo recording.
I’m going to start keeping public records of things I create here because the last record I made in the fall of 2013 –
an e.p. called “I guess it’s a shame that I do this in spite of you” –
seems to have gotten lost in the mail.

SO!

The intent of this post is a public declaration of the EXISTENCE of Warm Vomit From The Sun by Eric Kmiec.

It was a fun and easy record to write and perform but frustrating at times to record because of my current recording situation. Three of the tracks, the ones with acoustic guitar, are the actual moments of creation. I didn’t feel the need to make a “better” version. I just puke em’ out, 9:30 in the morning with a cup of coffee style, before they fly away and I forget how they go.
