We don't expect to make the cut for the short list,  but had fun writing  and recording it.

It features many many guitar tracks,  and an Omnichord 100, which supplied drums, the organ pad, and the bell like autoharp strum.

The Useless Tools is my 'nom de rock' for a bunch a bunch of comic rocks songs I've written. a few years ago I was in a Fringe theatre show where I and three other guys played a washed-up punk rock band called The DeadRats. I wrote a bunch of songs, many of which never got a decent recording.

The Useless Tools are actual useless tools that were in a toolbox I bought at a garage sale for $10.
