  • Digital Album

    Dfactor's first-ever (real) recordings! Recently unearthed lo-fi cassette tapes digitized for modern formats! Originals & Covers!

    Way before there were any cool cocktails or party tarts, these songs from Dfactor's first real recordings show the genesis of his songwriting flair and his love of classic rock and American underground indie rock, shown by his choice of Elvis Presley, Beatles and Husker Du covers.

    These four originals and five rock covers are sung and played by Dfactor with wobbly guitar and desktop drums, and recorded with buckets of reverb on a radio station studio's 2-track reel-to-reel.

    Dfactor tells the story: "I'd played guitar for a few years and was writing songs, and my then-girlfriend worked at a local restaurant on Saturday nights. I sort of found a way to go to the local radio station and record stuff in its production studio. I probably did these songs over a period of a few Saturday nights in 1986. The Husker covers help date these."

    "I like 'em - the songs are the sounds of a rock 'n roll kid just feeling his feet and hearing his voice on playback. The feeling I hear is goofy, earnest, serious and silly all rolled into one."

    This is the first of an anticipated series of recordings from Dfactor's archives. More to come include rare unreleased 4-track songs, live shows and more.     ... more

Track Name: Grab the Indies
"Grab the Indies"

Sounds abound from within these shores,
intelligent rockers yearn for more,
mass appeal has no appeal for me,
I open up my eyes for bands with purpose and unity.

Band for money, music for money,
it's been around a long time,
Money's a sin, baby
who are the sinners?
Sorry, good Lord, but they're program directors.

Fuck the radio if they can't bend the rules,
ya know, ads for money for folks who need cheap thrills,
people who seemingly care about music
(they don't care, they don't care),
you know PMs and GMs and GDs and MDs,
something like that...

(unknown)
you know the ones you used to make it alll the time
(unknown) at the radio station
(unknown) check their egos at the door

Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!

bands with purpose and unity.
oh...oh...

Money's a sin, baby, and who's got a lot of (unknown) moonshine (moonshine)
I don't know what to do anymore,
I think I'll just sit back and grin and
watch the money roll in,
sit and grin.

Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!

Track Name: Nothin' No More
Nothin' No More

Hey......yeah! Alright!
The whistle blows on the railroad track tonight
The whistle blows on the railroad track tonight
I'm not comin' home for nothin' no more
I'm not comin' home for nothin' no more

Oooh Hey!
I've got sumpin ....(unknown) tonight
I've got sumpin ....(unknown) tonight
I'm not comin' home for nothin' no more
I'm not comin' home for nothin' no more

Ooooh - Oooh!
Eh, I don't know why you been hanging out too long
Eh, I don't know why you been hanging out with me,
I'm not comin' round here no more
I'm not comin' round here no more
I'm not comin' round here no more
I'm not comin' round here no more
Track Name: Dancin' in the Moonlight
Dancin' in the Moonlight

When I'm lonely in the dark,
I can see you in the park,
you're walking by yourself.

When you're famous in your garden
when you're famous in your lovely garden
I can see you dancing in the moonlight
I can see you dancing in the moonlight

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

I can see you dancing in the moonlight,
you're just about to take your clothes off too
I can see you dancing in the moonlight
When you're lonely, lonely, lonely in the moonlight, light

When you're lonesome in the yardhouse,
when you're lonesome in the ceiling too
get off the furniture, you're hurtin' my cat
get off the furniture, you're hurtin' my cat

Dark clouds are gathering across the sky
I can see them in your eye
Dark clouds are gathering across the sky
I can see them
they're gathering above your eye
you're the apple of my eye
you know why you're there,
dancing the way you're dancing
Let's let this thing end!
1-2-3-4 - RAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWWWWW....
Track Name: Strength in Numbers
Strength in Numbers

She takes care of me when I'm down and distressed,
she's close to me when I'm lonely and depressed,
strength in feelings, strength in her heart,
strength in numbers, we shall never part.

And when I'm down, I keep her along the way
I know it's all for her (?) each and every day,
I can see the painting on the wall,
just to make her feel she's all alone

And I know, and I know
it's alright for her
and I know it's OK......
Ahhhh, oohhhhh, aahhhhh,
Ahhhh, oohhhhh, aahhhhh.

Tell me why, I'm dying,
tell me why, I'm cryin'
Tell me why, tell me why...

Whoa-oh, ahhh, ohhhh,
ahhh, ohhhh,
ahhh, ohhhh, ahhhh.
