I thought the sentiment expressed here was pretty universal, especially among men.

This site features songs I wrote and recorded over the last several years with my wife Cathy and various other musical collaborators and friends. The early stuff was done at B-Scene Studios in Edmonton (Thanks Todd!) and the more recent stuff done at home with a Zoom digital recorder. The additional players on these recordings include Bruce Brososky on guitar and bass, Steve Lemiski on drums and percussion, and Graham Calder and Laurent Arams on guitar. Bruce, Steve, Laurent and I perform as Urban Bunny, and sometimes as Kitty and the Cool Cats (basically a classic rock cover band), with Cathy fronting. Bruce and Cathy each have their own Soundclick sites as well, which you can check out from the links below in my "Fans" section. (kittyxule, Bruce Brososky).

Story behind the song
I seem to keep writing these alienated, mysogynistic and violent songs, but with tongue-in-cheek, I swear. I think it is a form of venting, fantasizing about ventilating ;)

Taylor YOU KNOW I TOLD MY BUDDY DON’T YOU MARRY THAT GIRL SHE AIN’T JUST BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK MAN, SHE’S BEEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD BUT I COULDN’T MAKE HIM SEE NOW HE’S LIVIN’ IN MISERY EVERYBODY REGRETS IT LATER BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO ME PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME, THEIR STORIES ALL THE SAME EVERYBODY’S GOT A PROBLEM, THEY WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO BLAME BUT IT’S SO EASY TO SEE IT’S JUST THEIR OWN DAMN STUPIDITY I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM NOT TO DO THAT BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO ME YOU KNOW MY WIFE DON’T LISTEN, MY KIDS IGNORE ME TOO EVERYBODY DISAGREES WHEN I TELL ‘EM WHAT TO DO IT AIN’T NO MYSTERY I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM FOR FREE I WROTE A LETTER TO THE PAPER BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO ME YOU KNOW, BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME AIN’T ALWAYS FUN I GET FRUSTRATED AND I WANNA GET MY GUN AND SET THE BEAST FREE GIVE UP MY SANITY I TELL MYSELF THAT AIN’T THE ANSWER BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO ME.
