notes
“Joy” may very well be the most creative of the Sleeping Dogs Lie CDs. There's songs about telethon hosts, an armhair named "Jerry" Garcia, lost pets, dirty nuns, aliens, corrupt government officials, Ron Jeremy, the witness protection program, satanic boyscouts, bad computer salesmen, fat slobs, my friend Maria, Monty Python, disease, a beer drinkin' fetus, presidents, mall rats and some other neglected subjects...
Strange enough though, there is a lot of good songs on the CD. Jake Cline of CITY LINK Magazine said “David Geffen was missing out…” after giving it a four-star rating. I tend to agree, but who the hell am I?
Well, I'm Eric... and I'm the songwriter and ringleader of a loose group of musicians from all over that come and go from cd to cd.
Sleeping Dogs Lie came to be in 1995 with a Tascam 4-track in my apartment in West Palm Beach, Florida. I had a Thomas organ, two guitars, bass, drum machine (Dr. Uma Chine in the credits) and a $19.95 Radioshack Realistic microphone with the idea of writing music that was purely a cure for my own boredom.
I wrote and recorded everyday for a year and half straight... As I wrote and recorded more songs, the whole thing was becoming more interesting as I stumbled through the creative song writing process ... I wasn't sure where I was going with it or if I could even call myself a real songwriter... Even to this day, for some reason, I don't look at myself as a songwriter... just some guy that's making organized noise? Anyways, There are more and more people out there that seem to really enjoy whatever it is I am doing. So, why stop now? Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked with a variety of musicians to come up with an even more diverse and eclectic collection of songs...
The music is essentially rock, but there’s a lot of experimentation and unique chord arrangements combined with offbeat subject matter in the lyrics that makes Sleeping Dogs Lie what it is.

I'm reviewing my own site, what an idiot...
author: eI like the catchyness and weirdness of the music all rolled into one ball. We need more songs about armhair and ron jeremy in the world. But, I'm biased... let's see, I will try to be unbiased... God, the singer sucks... I need some lessons. ok. I would reccomend this cd in all of it's weird and twisted glory.
