I’ve written and recorded a little music in my lifetime, with Vancouver’s Sick Sick Yeah, my solo project Larry, and with manufactured boy band, Parksville Rancher. It has to live somewhere…
Big Bigger Bigot

Lyrics
To all of you ragheads you niggers and spics
all you zippers and peppers and pakis and kykes
does the sound of the language of venom and spit make you nervous
but it’s the hate that’s in my belly
and it’s the fear that’s in my heart
and it’s the company I’m keeping that’s keeping us apart
you infidels nine-irons long porks and papists
you hunkies and honkies and beaners and spooks
you hear on the bus and you see in the eyes of your neighbours
but it’s the hate that’s in my belly
and it’s the fear that’s in my heart
and it’s the company I’m keeping that’s keeping us apart
the taunts of the racist don’t end with your race
you got fatties and faggots and rednecks and blondes
but the words that you spew don’t compare to your silent derision
it’s the hate that’s in my belly
and it’s the fear that’s in my heart
and it’s the company I’m keeping that’s keeping us apart
and it’s the bricks and bats I’m throwing
will surely bury me at last
and it’s the ignorance I’m showing
that keeps us ever down

I Can’t Land This
Recorded by Sick Sick Yeah back in ’93 in Vancouver. We used a 4-track Fostex cassette recorder and bounced drum, guitar and vocal tracks around till we came up with this result. It was released on cassette on our first 6 song EP, and also on a CD compilation of Vancouver punk rock bands called Wade Free Vancouver. It came up on my random mix the other day, and I thought, Damn, that’s pretty good.
Fuck you
