Samson
Deep and brooding delays and saturated distortion galore with epic resolve. [more inside]
So Much for the Tolerant Left (Demo)
This song is dedicated to Richard Spencer's unknown assailant. [more inside]
Dick Biondi
A long and very silly edm jam just under the upload limit.
Just the Fax
Asked for a receipt.
Five minutes pass, still waiting;
Dot matrix printer. [more inside]
Millimeters of Mercury — S2
Slightly dubstep-inspired, named for the closest star to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy (S2). The star is a young star and the fastest-moving massive object in the galaxy, and by metaphor, the song expresses the hubris and beauty of youth.
Crunchy.
Playing with Garageband's guitar effects. Lots of distortion to cover up my lazy fingers. [more inside]
Turn Away
Poppy-ska song I wrote a couple years ago about being afraid to ask a girl out. (I did, eventually, but not in the song). [more inside]
come careening (demo)
This is the demo I recorded for this song posted earlier. I slapped some kind of distortion effect over it to approximate the feel I wanted in the final version. Although it's too hazy-sounding and the vocals are nearly unintelligble, I really love a lot of things about this recording. It sounds like some kind of important uncovered secret to me. Anyway, this post is part of an "evolution of my songs" series I started here and here.
The Feengur Waltz
Distorted dance music, like Black Dice but maybe slightly less abrasive. [more inside]
Leave Me Lonely
Sometimes, somebody likes you for your faults. [more inside]
Staring at a VDU
A VDU is, of course, a video display unit. A song about one of the things the Web has made: Millions of people who sit all day long staring at a screen. [more inside]
1978
Screw the new stuff. I'm loading up my iPod with punk rock. [more inside]
Facebook Profile
Although not strictly part of this month's challenge, I would like to point out that this song, which deals with how our social media lives on after we die, is heavily inspired by "Waiting for My Man." [more inside]
Put It Online
A song about oversharing. [more inside]
Jill Turned On the Radio
Yet another from my series of glam and punk inspired songs about the series of tubes we call the Interweb. [more inside]
The Kids Are Online
Another in my series of punk and glam inspired songs about Web culture, this one is sort of an answer song to both "The Kids Are Alright" and "Blitzkrieg Bop." [more inside]
This Party is Over
Another from my series of lo-fi punk and glam inspired songs about the Interweb, this time dealing with Web hoaxes and tragedies. [more inside]
Spring (like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers)
I made some power-pop. It's crunchy. [more inside]
come careening
Layers of soft guitar distortion with pseudo-indian instruments thrown in, under a falsetto vocal over a deeper background vocal going through a guitar amp. I'm kind of proud of the lyrics, which are about staying true. [more inside]
Snowstorm
Stuck inside all day, it fades in.
But When Cindy Dances
The first song I ever wrote, dating back to 1986. A pop song about a real Cindy and a possibly invented dance, sung in a fragile and especially twee manner. Part of my Old Songs project. [more inside]
Cement floats.
I've got something
Recorded 7 or so years ago with a friend. It's missing something in the middle, but I like the way it disintegrates towards the end. I've no idea what genre it is, but I guess it shows influence from all the country/folk/lofi music I listen to.
