    One of just 1000 physical CDs pressed of my first album, She Makes Noise. Replete with references to social music websites that no longer exist! Once they're gone, I'm not pressing anymore, and this is pretty much the only collectable item that exists as far as my first album goes, so this is your chance to grab one before I'm famous (I joke...). Let me know if you'd like me to sign it for you.

lyrics

Meet Ali
The lead singer for a punk band
The girl that no one will ever understand
The journalist for the common man

Now pretty Ali’s got her sights on a guy named Tyler
She’s so turned on by the scars that run down his arms
That she don’t stop to think how they got there

Little Ali’s got a thing that she does with her words
She don’t have to try to be heard
She knows that she’ll always have options
Just suffice it to say that she’ll never have trouble finding her way
She’s the ghetto’s adoption

And she said,
“You know I don’t know why
Each time I try to cry
It’s so easy”

Chorus:
This is the good pain
This is the F train
This is the Audi showroom on Park Avenue
This ain’t my fantasy
This is the world I see
I have no destiny
Just a studio in Brooklyn
And a dream to live in Gramercy

Now wild Ali’s closing in on her guy with fervor
She’s got the plan and she knows how to work a man
Till he pleads for the right to serve her
But there’s an error, a mistake in her calculations
She did everything right
She knows that he’s got to fall
But there’s one little complication

‘Cause he said
“Girl you sure don’t waste time
But next time try to find out if the guy you’re tacking on’s already taken
Then maybe you won’t be
Put off so forcefully
You might just even find someone who’s worthwhile keeping
But she said “I don’t know why
Each time I try to cry
It’s so easy”

Chorus

O Ali, baby don’t despair
I’m sorry that there ain’t nobody out there
Can’t promise I can make it right
At least you’ll have some company tonight

Chorus
