Mitch Friedman has written and recorded original songs since 1984. Over the course of three audiocassettes and five CDs, the music has evolved from early minimal, experimental efforts to fully fleshed-out quirky pop and rock. His lyrics have remained largely consistent. Always idiosyncratic, intelligent, and playful. By turns humorous, insightful, self-deprecating, tongue-in cheek, silly, and filled with clever wordplay, though never crossing the line into novelty. Totally Tuneless contains the lyrics to 124 songs, 23 of which have yet to be recorded or released.
