His Songs Were Good
It’s retro week here at 52 Teeth. This new recording, “His Songs Were Good”, showcases a song that I wrote a long time ago. Maybe 1998. Remember Lewinsky, the blue dress, etc.? Around that time. The lyrics are a true story about someone I knew back in high school who was an extraordinary songwriter — … Read more
World of Nothing
Yes, friends, I’m emerging from winter hibernation for the purpose of delivering some nihilistic bedroom garage-pop, “World of Nothing”. I was aiming for something in the vein of the Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat. When I was finished I thought the end result wasn’t grimy enough. And I still think that. But…. after listening to … Read more
“BOSS” is here!!!
In perfect harmony with the upcoming Chicago mayoral election, Baby Teeth brings you “BOSS”, a digital EP that you can download for FREE right here. For this album, Baby Teeth took a band challenge. Each of the three of us wrote and recorded a song at home, without sharing it with one another. The catch? … Read more
Welcome to Our World
While Jim trots the globe (or at least, the European continent) with Bobby Conn, Peter and I keep the home fires burning. Things have been getting so slow lately, and my mind has been getting so peaceful, that I actually stopped to think that we had a BAND WEBSITE, and that I hadn’t touched it … Read more
Beautiful When We Were Young
Hello all. Click here to link to my latest contribution to Chicago Public Radio’s Re:sound. I’d recommend listening to the whole show, since it rips as always, but… my song starts at roughly 52:30, should you be short on time, like so many of the kids today.
Goodbye, Sweet June
Yes, June, you hath come and gone, without a single new post on 52 Teeth. The depths of my shame are unfathomable. I can only offer the following, middling excuse: I’ve been engaged in the joyous labor of preparing for the second episode of Shame That Tune, and for my second appearance on Chicago Public … Read more
Deliverance Day
Like Bryan Adams, I’m asking you to “please forgive me” in my delinquency this week. With the holiday weekend, I completely forgot that Monday morning had come and gone without a new post. I hope my negligence didn’t spoil your Memorial Day. With or without a new song, veggie dogs still taste weird, right? I’m … Read more
Re:sound Theme
I chime in this week with the shortest sonic blast in 52 Teeth history: my 10-second “bumper” theme song that will play before my submissions to Re:sound on Chicago Public Radio. Here, in gloriously hi-fidelitous AIFF format, is my “Re:sound Theme“. Lyrics: “It’s Abraham’s Re:sound song / It’s the Re:sound wrap-up song.” (Perhaps a tip … Read more
Too Hot to Rock
Something in the air today made me want to make some STOOPID electro-rock, so here is this week’s entry, “Too Hot to Rock.” Lara asked me if this was meant as a tribute to LCD Soundsystem. Hm…. well, maybe so. I can’t say that I’m a devoted fan or anything, but I did enjoy the … Read more
Shame That Tune
Here’s my first attempt at writing a theme song for my new game show, “Shame That Tune“, which debuts on Friday June 11th, at the Hideout, here in Chicago USA. The concept of the show, which will be co-hosted by the irrepressible Brian Costello, is as follows: Three contestants, one by one, tell a quick, … Read more
