Podcast Description
Most kids can?t buy music online. Kids in many towns can only buy music at chain stores like Walmart. For that reason Lucid Nation decided to archive all our music up till now for free download. To make it a special event for us and for people who like our music, we came up with the idea of the Hundred Song March: one song a day for a hundred days. Actually it will be closer to 150 songs and there will be missed days, and two missed weeks when our programmer goes on vacation. Consequently on some days we?ll put up more than one song to make up for lapses. All songs will have a story to go with them even if only a few sentences. We?ll include some pictures, too. When the Hundred Song March is complete the archive will remain available at Lucidnation.com. Brain Floss Records retains all copyright ownership. We hereby grant podcasters and radio DJs the right to broadcast all tracks. We hereby grant listeners the right to make copies for themselves and others. We reserve rights for use in soundtracks of any kind, and for any duplication for sale or other commercial use.

song 167 : My Bad (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | This fragment is the first recording of Ronnie and me playing together. We had just begun playing guitar a couple months before so our timing sucked, but I like the way it sounds like some kind of forgotten recording from the days of the Delta Blues, a co | 7/22/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 166 : Fox On Ice (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | This is Ronnie’s first and by far most primitive experiment with multi-track recording and effects. At first, it seems by fox Ronnie means foxy like the rock stars of yore he mentions but really this title is lifted from the I Ching. Ronnie’s a big Le | 7/21/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 165 : Ways Across (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | I wrote the music for Ronnie’s lyrics about patience overcoming violence at a time when AC/DC and Muddy Waters were all I would listen to. “Backed into a corner of mirrors You got only yourself to blame Change is original sin When you play the sacrifi | 7/16/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 164 : Wounded Knee (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | I wrote the music for this song, Ronnie wrote the vocals. I could never sing anything like: I have an ancestor who was a chief on the Cherokee Trail of Tears. Because of the fate of so many of his family at the hands of the Nazis, Ronnie has strong feelin | 7/15/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 162 : What You Do (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | That glitch at the beginning shows how close we came to recording over this song! Way too silly and romantic for Tamra to ever sing, but cute, in a Marc Bolan with a dash of silly Lennon kinda way. I love the bluesy interplay of our guitars.

song 161 : Pretending it’s Yesterday (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Ronnie’s rhythm guitar part later became the Lucid Nation song L.A. River that Keith Richards called marvelous. I played a sweet bass line on that, but I like this song just as much. They say L.A. is a city In a nightmare that never sleeps Show me a tow | 7/10/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 160 : Last Round Up (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Yes, that is me snickering. This song is a lament for musicians lost when one night stands became pregnancies unplanned. It would make a great condom commercial. On a more serious note I think the cruelty of women who saddle men with unwanted children, of | 7/8/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 159 : Nowhere To Hide (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | As timely as today’s headlines! Things have only gotten worse since this song was written. “How do you deal with hopelessness?

song 158 : Hollywood Boulevard (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Now we are moving back through time to the very cassette tape that got Columbia Records interested in Cat Cult.

song 157 : It's Like Something (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | This was Ronnie’s recording swansong with Cat Cult. The something struggling to be born he’s howling about is probably Lucid Nation!

song 155 : Walking Away From the Angels (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Ronnie recorded the sound of the ice cream truck right outside the apartment window to suggest the loss of innocence when you move away from home.

song 153 : Trip (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Ronnie painstakingly memorized this bit of Celtic open tuned picking that makes up the intro of the earliest version of the Lucid Nation song Trip. As the lyrics in this version make obvious, Andy Wood of Mother Love Bone had recently died. We liked Mothe | 6/23/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

song 152 : Boulevard in My Backyard (Cat Cult: The Origins of Lucid Nation) | Hollywood Boulevard was one of the songs Columbia picked out so Ronnie revamped it into this new song with a completely different loose and funky feel.
