SONGS FROM CAPTAIN JOHN BRAVES THE MIGHTY RARITAN
La Duh Dumb- "You guys not playing "La Duh Dumb" is like The Kinks not playing "You Really Got Me." - Dr. Jon Caspi
Opposite Doors- One of the faster songs on the record. It's a break-up/new love song. How aweshole. Features the wonderful Ryan Thornton on the drums.
Elizabeth- Not about a woman. It's about a street.

DEMOS!
2008
Oregon- This song was going to go on our new record, but it just didn't fit. This is one of the oldest St. Sat B songs and one of the first songs I have ever written. We'll find a place for it eventually. Either that, or finally bury it. This song has both Eric and Brandon playing on it.
Fuggin' Around- Fuggin' around with my GrooveBox.
The Big House- A pretty, little song. I felt the song was a bit weak, but I liked the chorus so I used it for "Old News". The ending of the song is the beginning of another song called "You Won't Make It Out of Here". You'll hear that one later. This song was originally going to serve as an opener of a concept record we were working on called "Radiation Trails." Thankfully, we came to our senses and broke up. During the hiatus, I decided that a space-rock album wasn't such a good idea. I think.
A Song About Winning- A very dumb, rock song. Part of "The Richard Gere Sessions". Brandon on bass, Mikey De Maria on drums, and Will Dudley on the git-tar.
Apothecaries For The Wandering Soul- Brandon's first song written for The B. Great fucking song. We'll find a place for it. Brandon on vocals and bass, Will on Guitar, Mikey on drums and vocals, me on guitar.
2007
Fireman's Fair- 2007 was the year that we concentrated on recording "Captain John". Here's a cool version of "Fireman's Fair" with electronic drums.
2006
Opposite Doors- This is an obscene version of this song. Once again, don't know how it happened. It just did. Mikey on drums and bass.
How Awfully Grim- An early favorite of ours until we realized that this song sucked ass. Maybe your weird ass will like it. Mike on bass and box.
2005
Have You The Heart?- Duh duh duh demo. This was written and recorded in an hour.
We Mean It!- Electro drums. Mike made them in Fruity Loops and wrote the synth and piano parts. Brillents. I wrote the lyrics to this song during an English class at Ocean County College. Mike also plays bass in this one
Defeated- This is what happens when I don't sleep.
Sunday Morning- A half-assed cover of The Velvet Underground song. Mike on bass and backing vocals.
Old Man- Yep.
Fuck You, Future Sweater- My uncle got me a laptop for college. I discovered GarageBand. I recorded this song. I'm sorry.
more coming soon!
