L Extreme<\/em><\/a> is a novel inspired by the album\u00a0A Love Extreme<\/em><\/a> by Benji Hughes. Follow the links below for a behind the scenes peek into my thought process song by song, chapter by chapter.<\/p>\n

APPETIZER<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Origin Story, Part I<\/a>
\nNovelization of an album? Anachronistic soundtrack? Influenced by space entities? You decide…<\/p>\n

Origin Story, Part II<\/a>
\nWhatcha gonna do with the freaky freaky feedback?<\/p>\n

Origin Story, Part III<\/a>
\nA totally long space message. I wrote a letter to you, maybe I sent you five.<\/p>\n

SIDE A: Happy Halloween<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I Am You, You Are Me, We Are One<\/a>
\nLove, Devotion, Surrender & Other Strangers<\/p>\n

Tight Tee Shirt<\/a>
\nMusings on roommates, dreams and relationships.<\/p>\n

You Stood Me Up<\/a>
\nA flashback and a red herring.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Down The Hall<\/a>
\nPaul Simon is awesome, but he isn’t loud.<\/p>\n

Waiting For An Invitation<\/a>
\nA watched pot never boils, and a waited for ‘vitation never ins.<\/p>\n

Cornfields<\/a>
\nSetting wrong what once went right, parody\/tribute style.<\/p>\n

Why Do These Parties Always End The Same Way?<\/a>
\nA lot of talk you can’t remember the next day. Sometimes numbers are exchanged.<\/p>\n

SIDE B: The Ballad of Heartman & Songstress<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Where Do Old Lovers Go?<\/a>
\nA flashback and a medley.<\/p>\n

Do You Think They Would Tell You?<\/a>
\nThe start of a play by play.<\/p>\n

All You’ve Got To Do Is Fall In Love<\/a>
\nA rebus & a list\u2014but that’s not all.<\/p>\n

Even If<\/a>
\nPay no attention to the deviation from the album sequence.<\/p>\n

Mmmmmmm<\/a>
\nAnother dreammmmmmm type thing.<\/p>\n

Girl In The Tower<\/a> (Part I<\/a>, Part II<\/a>, Part III<\/a>)
\nAn epic, multi-part body of hands, feet, hearts\u2014and karaoke!<\/p>\n

SIDE C: Love Is Far Out<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Vibe So Hot<\/a>
\n‘Scuse me while I stand in a cape on your lawn.<\/p>\n

So Well<\/a>
\nWhat did occur, will occur. Woot! Woot!<\/em><\/p>\n

The Mummy<\/a>
\nWe don’t think you’ll figure out what it’s really all about.<\/p>\n

Love Is A Razor<\/a>
\nFacial hair is the least of our worries. Who am I to police art?<\/p>\n

I Went With Some Friends To See The Flaming Lips<\/a>
\nOn DVD. Still the greatest show I ever saw.<\/p>\n

Coyotes<\/a>
\nA James Bond-ish vibe with a girl singer. Spun, not stirred. Agent 00LX.<\/p>\n

SIDE D: Another Extreme<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ladies on Parade<\/a>
\nCould’ve been women, could’ve been wine. Maybe it was some of the time.<\/p>\n

Kenny<\/a>
\nA bonus track that’s not supposed to be here.<\/p>\n

Jubalee<\/a>
\nJubalon is the lord of music. Every clown in town’s in love with U2.<\/p>\n

So Much Better<\/a>
\nYou could end up winning all my money playing cards.<\/p>\n

Love On A Budget<\/a>
\nIt’s an acronym<\/del> acrostic.<\/p>\n

Lyegue<\/a>
\nSaponification seems magical, but it’s science.<\/p>\n

Baby, It’s Your Life!<\/a>
\nI love what you’ve done with the place. These are good songs in the future.<\/p>\n
