Rob Roper's 2011 10-song release, produced by John McVey. The Deluxe edition has a hard cover, and includes a booklet with notes on each song by Rob, and custom art for each song by Greg Carr. There are very few of these left, and it is unlikely there will ever be another run, due to the production difficulties involved.

lyrics
Chair on the Moon
by Bill Kahler
I got a junkyard out back, full of old broken hearts
Take a look, but you won't find any useable parts
The teardrops that fell, turned the stories to rust
Memories got muddy, mud became dust
Out on my porch, there's a mangy old stray
I've been feeding him scraps, so now he won't go away
The two of us, are a whole lot alike
Both home alone, on a Saturday night.
Chorus:
And the radio up on the shelf
Plays all the songs out of tune
I'm sitting here, all by myself
Like a stranger in town
With the world spinning round
I might as well be sitting
In a chair on the moon.
Something must have gone haywire, the day I was born
In a hospital room, in a field of corn
The older I get, the less I fit in
I stop to think about it, and I start to grin
It's just a matter of time, til that dog's in the house
He's got the world's saddest eyes, and a clown's happy mouth
A pat on the head, ain't asking so much
He's looking for love, like the rest of us.
Chorus
Looking on the bright side
It's a beautiful view
Looking in from the outside
On a planet of blue
Chorus
I got a junkyard out back, full of broken hearts

Jim Dalton has been recording his live solo acoustic shows, and putting them on Bandcamp. Check 'em out. Jim's a good songwriter, with some great songs-- sad, funny, clever-- and good drinking songs. Rob Roper
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
