So it’s like this bizarre spaghetti-western fantasy about a neurotic 5-year-old who wakes up from a coma 20 years gone in a plastic graveyard at the top of a hill in the only town on a small island that’s regularly attacked by a giant sea monster and I’m pretty sure it eats his girlfriend or something and it’s the new record by THE GOOD THINGS called...

​DEFEATS THE PORPOISE; or,

The Tale of Johnny and the Indomitable Sea Monster

UPDATES


FEBRUARY 16, 2017
Closing in on the half-way mark for the prose-form of the story. There are now 22 tracks and demos have been created for all of them.
I've also met with and selected the illustrator.

I've never been this productive.

OCTOBER 18, 2016
Currently focused on the prose-form of the story. I'm working at the story's 4th (and hopefully final) version since 2011. It is now being written as/divided into little parts. I'm at 30 already. Estimating the story should be done around the 90; one third down.

OCTOBER 07, 2016
I've finished the full outline of the new version of the lyrical form of the story and have written all but one (and a half) of the songs (as of tonight—just finished "Me and My Whiskey, Part II" & "Down, Like the Sun"). 19 tracks.
