free mp3 of the month
'the road'
get the new collection:
the big lull
here I am, sitting in front of my big ass cinema display, my window on the world, feeling dead inside. maybe I should smile and take a picture.
I’m staring a new year in the face (it only took me 5 weeks), a new computer recording system, a new music licensing business, and a new black lab album.
that is, a new black lab album that hasn’t begun to be born yet. not even impregnated. not even erect. just a conversation with Andy and we’re off to the races — except we’re not off yet. we’re just sitting around, fucking with our computers, waiting for inspiration to strike.
but it will strike. I’ve been here before. it always strikes. just going back thru some old demos got me a bit of a chubby. this month’s free mp3 of the month is sweet. I’d like to do something like this. but slower, darker, harder.
anyway, just wanted to say hi. hope you like ‘high up high.’ hope you’re well.

Thank you for the new download!
You’ll break out of the funk, Paul! I can’t wait to hear something new and dark. Harder is good too
High Up High is very cool. A little different for Black Lab though. Could bring in many more new fans. Way to go! Slower, Darker, Harder? I like you when you do that too!!
if u guys play will you let me know? or invite me? i will go anywhere in us or canada to see you. everyone at work know ur music because i play the
“black lab” radio station on pandora…i love love love you!
Nice little track. Feels a bit Strange Place, or like that old MP3oTM song Pleasure

All great artists are slave to their muses and yours always comes through. I can’t wait to hear the next Black Lab album, because I know it will be better
than the last.
I first saw Black Lab when you opened for The Cure in San Jose after “Your Body Above Me”
was released. I have never been stunned by
an opening act before, but both my wife and I
were stunned that night; by raw talent, by your muse.
I have no doubt you will stun me once again.
And the muse…. she’ll be back. You and she are
inextricably intertwined..
IDK if it will work for you, but I turn on a Blacklab cd as Paul Durham, Thom Yorke & Warren Zevon are 3 of the greatest poets whom have provided me with the soundtrack to life and inspiration to lose over 100lbs and change my life, Paul I feel the words you speak and they inspire me everyday…
hey folks, thanks very much for everything you’ve written here. Chris — that’s amazing. the cure! hella long time ago. Angell — nice to know you’ll travel. we’re working on it… and Justin — thanks for your comment. that’s heavy company I’m keeping, esp. since Thom Yorke is also in my top 3 list. much appreciated.
