A slice of real life ...
another bite. another taste. another swallow.
Paul Moelleris a musician and songwriter living in North San Diego County.
His music offers a skewed kaleidoscope of intriguing observations into the human condition, and the patchworked fabric of American culture.
It might lift you.
It might challenge you.
It might push you off a cliff.
Like a month of The Jerry Springer Show, Fox News, All My Children, Monday Night Football, Home Shopping Network, South Park, and The 700 Club stuffed into a Cuisinart, pureed, and frozen into popsicles for the kiddies to enjoy..
Memorable melodies.
Lyrics you can gnaw on.
Well-crafted songs.
Submerse yourself in politics, religion, sex, lust, greed, hedonism, fanaticism, and (oh yeah) love, before soon-to-be-enacted provisions of the Patriot Act classify large portions of our popular culture to be a terrorist threat.
So, have another beer,
oops, this is California
...so give the text messaging a rest,
put down that skateboard...
and have another Red Bull cappuccino smoothie.
Listen up - while you have the chance!
Dance. Deliberate. Engage. Enjoy!

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme"... Mark Twain

Sounds Like: Paul Simon steals Pat MacDonald's car, and heads out on a joyriding rampage with Jill Sobule and Matthew Sweet. Along the way, they pick up a hitchhiking Steve Earle, and end up in Paul Westerberg's basement, where they join Peter Buck and Elvis Costello to channel the spirit of Warren Zevon using Richard Thompson's guitar pick and a ouija board fashioned from an old Exile on Main Street album jacket, playing Cat Steven's 12 string guitar tuned by Joni Mitchell, munching on Tom Lehrer's legendary jello salad and some nachos provided by Nick Lowe - washing it all down with some of Lucinda William's beer.

Record Label: still unsigned (and steroid-free)
