Social Media Breakfast Podcast Theme (2011)
I wrote and recorded this at the behest of friend, Mykl Roventine, for his new Social Media Breakfast Podcast. It ended up being another argument in favor of of not making art for free – Mykl chose to disregard my amazing art in favor of some schlock, and I am eternally-bitter. But on the plus side, I have this awesome song.

We’re Breakin’ Out
I recorded this one in L.A. with Noah in his apartment. He had a fancy 8-track digital recorder. At one point, he said, “I’d like to get some cars and stuff on this recording.” And he proceeded to stick the mic out the window, and, ya know what?, it sounds fantastic on the record!
Mongo Man – Secret Bag of Goodies by The Corrupt Senators remixed on 2020.01.15
This is a quick remix after getting the old 8-track wav files back from Sonicraft. Thanks, Mom for saving the old reels – so much fun here!
This song would later be covered by Spank during Toby’s 9-month stint in the band.
…If Howard Roark Could Dance CD-Release Show at 400 Bar April 6, 2006
It was electric. The show, largely and unofficially sponsored by the Carlson School of Management Full-Time MBA students who promoted the show like hell and packed the room (led by Tony Johnson & future bandmate Ryan Arnholt), led to the one time in my life where I remember an encore being legitimately demanded. And it was the one time I was fully unprepared (and unwilling) to comply. We just weren’t ready with a 13th song. Oh well. Colleen lit up the stage before we left.
Teddy on drums, Bob on bass, it represented a teaming of talent that would never take the stage again together and was Bob’s last hurrah until he, Colin, & Toby teamed up for Eagles vs. Rockets a handful of years later and rehashed at least one of the songs from this set.
Firooz kicked things off in a way that only he can, delighting the crowd with positive creative word usements, before the band crescendoed into the first number, the usual Speakeasy Heroes opener, People on the Run.
Alas, Teddy was elusive, Bob was out on his own accord, and Toby was left to rebuild the mighty empire that was Cryns #3! But for one night, everything came together for a memorable night and memorable show.
