From the Album 'Hoop + Wire' (2010) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/drum-Machine

Mr. Train, you've got nerve to talk now
frame by frame, lumbering by
as you run with the river on your right
it's water blurred in the morning light
there you go on the two and the one
Always in the same direction
I've got tricks burning holes in my sleeves
From a place you just can't go
Mr. Train, where did you sleep last night
In the car in a small town
When you wake with the sun in your face
Different stop, same place
Are you pleased with sum of the parts
Are you pleased with the story arc
There you go on the two and the one
Always in the same direction
I've got tricks burning holes in my sleeves
From a place you just can't go

Finding no comfort in the trappings of any single genre, Boy Eats Drum Machine—the musical moniker of Portland, Oregon, native Jon Ragel—chose to create a sound flexible enough to incorporate everything he loved. His one-man-band approach is best seen in concert, where Ragel sings, spins, scratches, plays saxophone, and beats live drums behind an elaborate station of his own design. Oh, and he dances (really well!) the whole time. In the hands of a lesser musician, this all might come off as an impressive gimmick, but Boy Eats Drum Machine’s songs are as soulful and personal as they are technically impressive.
