Best Laid Plans
Samples come from an interviewee recalling experiences from the great depression.

They Slither, So There
Squeezed in on the last day of the challenge, this is a modern snake charming piece. It's ambient/experimental/electronic. Complete with rattlesnake sample.

Acapella sample, killer synth, creepy fembot vocals.
A song about hats.

I recorded this montage while talking with MMM over the telephone. (Pre-Beasties, 'circa '97.) He and I were both into outer space funk, and we talked a lot about sound and space alien movies. With Mike on the phone, I pulled out records he named and recorded them using a Realistic tape deck with tape over the heads to turn it into a two-track. It was juiced session. The results have passed the test of time.

Mix Master Mike frequently samples the intro to Killing In The Name for his sets. I decided to sample the outro, where Zach de la Rocha is yelling "ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS". The bass line is spliced out of Evil by Interpol since Carlos Dengler has got some crazy tone. This is a pretty slow jam, so it borders on the line between hip-hop and dance. Enjoy.

Elfrita used to be my landlord. She would place giant spiders outside my door so they could crawl into my apartment. It was horrifying.

Family Matters
Do you remember
Family Matters? This bump is a remix of the theme song! I find it nostalgic.
"Daaaaays goooo byyyyy"

As per request, this is the track that immediately follows
Au Courant. The speaking is samples from a beat poem by Burroughs and the rhymes are mine. This is one of those songs that you toy with for months before you're happy with it. I am also struggling with the levels so any assistance would be much appreciated! (work-in-progress)

Egret's (of the
Reddish variety) are musically inspiring. This track is divided by two tempo changes (see if you can spot them!) and is thus in three parts. I figure a bird as cool as the Reddish Egret deserves a musical trilogy. Also, the high-pitched vocal sample is actually a rendering of the last note Thom Yorke sings on the opening track of
The Eraser.

Rocks And Gravel
This track is built around a beautiful song from Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' Outtakes bootleg. Enjoy!

This is a little ditty I worked up in Logic, as a sort of self-guided tutorial to building loops, aliases, aligning things to a tempo, and adding & quantizing midi notes. The drums are samples grabbed from an unfinished recording session from the late 80's (played by Dennis Bruhn), and the vocals are snippets from a song by
The Whores a long-since broken up post-punk band of mine from the eighties, called Girls on Dope.
I have no idea what genre to tag this with.

A little groove thing about the H5N1-positive German cat from awhile back. Beats via
Sheep Beats; newsclips via Google Video; questionable vocals via my larynx.

Fun little remix I made with DoggieBox for OS X, based on files from
this thread about 1940's sex education reels.
