The Hard Taco Project
is a Simple Concept

I will write and record one song a month,
every month, until I am dead


I have been doing this since
1993 and so far my health is good.

You people have often berated me for not writing more love songs. I would like to thank you for teaching me a lesson. You couldn't be more right! As it turns out, 1) There is nothing greater than love, and 2) Music without love is worthless crap! To prove this assertion, I worked for a whole year to write ten of the most deeply personal love songs ever and put them on the new Hard Taco album. If your very soul has ever ached from the suffocating embrace of true love, you will certainly relate to such favorites as "Let's Talk About Feelings," "Don't Do That to My Heart," or "I Never Met a Woman (Like the One I've Met in You)." Everyone will find something to yearn along with in this collection.

The new Hard Taco album, "Forced to Breed in Captivity," is theoretically AWESOME. I realize that "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by the Eagles is your favorite song of all time.

Eleven remixed, remastered versions of some of your favorite songs from the Hard Taco Project website, in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ORDER. Now add in four previously unreleased songs, and cute cover art. If you're breathing too hard to keep reading, go lie down with your feet up on a table for a few minutes. Oops! You just crushed your Cassingle of "Peaceful Easy Feeling." I think it's a sign!

The Hard Taco's 10th full length CD, "There There," is here and it is ready for public consumption, misuse, and general soaking up. A colleague recently asked me why I still release CD's every year, despite the fact that most contemporary music aficionados get all of their music online in MP3 form. Well, you can't use the reflective surface of an MP3 to signal a passing plane or temporarily blind a would-be rapist, can you You can't tie a piece of string to an MP3 covered with two-sided tape, and use it to go fishing for cash/money while hovering over a bank vault that has no ceiling, can you And you most definitely cannot cut off your hand and serve it on an MP3 to a jilted lover with a note that says, "You already ate my heart for breakfast. Why not have my hand for lunch Also, I really dig track 4. Check it out if you have a chance (after you 're done eating my hand)."
