  • Ariel Powell - Garden Calendar
    12. Ariel Powell - Garden Calendar
    Some things start as a soundtrack to a video or slideshow, and that’s what this was. It turned out nicely enough that I’ll call it a song! It could almost go under the lightningrod salesman name, due to the electric drums. But it’s nice chill guitar, and very post-rock. So I’m claiming it!

  • The Lightningrod Salesman – APAX
    13. The Lightningrod Salesman – APAX
    Here’s a weird thing that I recorded in my brother’s basement when we lived there, in between houses. I had just been gifted a saxophone, which I am still very rough at. This number has a weird, something’s wrong kind of vibe.

  • The Lightningrod Salesman – EOL Intro
    15. The Lightningrod Salesman – EOL Intro
    Originally intended as an intro to ‘Empire of Lies’, I decided that it didn’t fit, and I was bothered by putting the good Dr. Paul’s voice into this hellscape of sound. But it’s a cool little piece, and Dr. Paul’s voice echoes through with the harsh truth.

  • Ariel Powell – Whispers and Prayers
    16. Ariel Powell – Whispers and Prayers
    From the original version of ‘The Leaves, Shimmering Gold’, this is yet again another misfit that I rejected from the newer versions of that album released online today. It’s really more appropriate under ‘the lightningrod salesman’ moniker, but this song was born first.

  • Ariel Powell – Only With Each-Other
    17. Ariel Powell – Only With Each-Other
    This is an alternate version of the last song on “Empire of Lies”, “Snow Jar”. I went back and forth trying to decide which version to release with the album, since I had both in-hand. This one is kinda tighter, but the other version was the original, and I really liked my brother Toby’s vocals on it.

  • Ariel Powell - Another Lost Day
    18. Ariel Powell - Another Lost Day
    Man, I’m glad I’ve found my Keeper since this pathetic little indulgence.
    Haha it’s kinda cool anyway. There’s an epic and expansive aspect to whatever this is. Rough vocals, I know. The masters are lost to time, but cool jam, I hope.

  • Ariel Powell – Mother, I’m Alive!
    19. Ariel Powell – Mother, I’m Alive!
    The oldest song in this collection, circa 2001.
    I was a senior in high school when a very close friend in the dorm died. He was besties with my brother, and well loved by everyone in the school. He had a wild, flamboyant, theatrical and dtramatic personality. He was a cripple, with something similar to cerebral palsy. He was literally a hunchback, but he played the hammer dulcimer beautifully, hiked multiple mountains despite being crippled (a true example of willpower), and he knew how to laugh. This song’s for Justin.

  • Dudes 4 Deep – I Used to Be Happy
    20. Dudes 4 Deep – I Used to Be Happy
    The first ever Dudes 4 Deep song. In the loft, at my parents, in our early 20’s, not sober.
    Something magical happened here, half of us really didn’t play instruments. But somehow we made a weird thing happen, and therefore went on to make even weirder things happen on subsequent days and evenings of not-soberness.
