| A departure for one blue nine, this folk rock ballad forsakes experimentation for a straightforward look at yearning and fear of love. |
|

|
|
 |
|
|
|
| Funky trip hop with a big, rolling beat and deadpan, rapped vocals. (To hear a very different version of "Rachel" check The Disintegrators' newly uploaded popcore version.) |

| If you've been around, you know that "doll eyes" are the flat, unseeing eyes of someone who is deeply under the influence of drugs. This songwriter demo has more than a few rough edges but should amuse OBN fans, revealing songwriter TK's country roots. A love song of a different kind: "From the Ocean to the mountains / from the birthplace to the grave / Once you behold her / nothing will ever be the same..." |

| A cross-cut-hybrid of roadhouse trip-hop and slow-bump rave-a-billy. A song-within-a-song takes you out of the cool night air of the trailer park and into the hot jumble of the roadhouse... [slight edit Dec '99] |

| obn's TK improvised this off-kilter TV preacher rant while blowing off steam during a studio work session with his one man all improv electronic performance act, Tranz Azul (aka Frippenstein). All the instrument and vocal parts were recorded LIVE by TK in one pass in real time using a live echo loop. (There are time compression edits, however. See song info.) |

| This spoken word piece contains metaphors and descriptive images which some people may find disturbing; if you feel you might be offended by such imagery, we invite you to listen to one of our happy songs instead. But you'll be missing searing, visceral sax work by blues renaissance man Jeff Turmes... |

| We recently realized that this version of this song can only be called electronic rockabilly. It's from 1996 and, regrettably, has some technical flaws. Unfortunately, it appears to be the last remaining recording of this version after a disastrous HD crash (like there's a good kind?) |

| So, you're sittin' in Murphy's and someone says 'hey, ain't that your house' and you look at that beat up 21 incher hangin' over the cigarette machine and you see a third string reporter from the local Fox News standing in front of your house and the paramedics are coming out with a couple bodies... and you recognize your wife's feet sticking out under the sheet and the next body has some cowboy boots that look a lot like that pair your best friend just picked up at the Goodwill... Damn junkies, you think to yourself. |

| INSTRUMENTAL. This hard-edged club track may surprise long time OBN fans. Aggesive, shifting beats, distinctly tweaked found vocal bits, odd drops, grinding synths and lots of edge... |

| Historic oddity from one blue nine mastermind TK Major's archives. Pulsing bass, moaning feedback guitars, and flat, near-spoken vocals mark this as very different from the country version elsewhere on this page. |

|
| INSTRUMENTAL. Positively the most guitar in one place ever from one blue nine. A stripped down, almost bluesy remix of Mambo Bossa Loca (originally released under OBN's pseudonymous sideproject, the blue jammies.) |

|
|

|
| Raw, alienated garage funk dedicated to a certain tweaker girl (now clean and sober and living in the suburbs with her husband and kids -- but it was a long, hard road). Stay in school, stay away from drugs, and don't meet your connection in dead end alleys. |

| "Love is funny, Love is cruel. / Love will make Einstein feel just like a fool. Love will make a tomcat dive / in a swimming pool." A smokey, slightly trippy, cabaret blues. Roll out the baby spot and spray the fake cigarette smoke... you supply the clinking glasses and murmur of disinterested conversation. |
