Dream Sequence Dream Sequence
This is kind of a post-rocky little number, I guess. With some wimpy vocals about water fountains and doing your best put low in the mix.
Whirligig Whirligig
I tried doing a little poppy thing that was primarily synthesized. The vocals are kinda shoddy.
Windowlicker Windowlicker
You know that Aphex Twin song? I remade it with guitars and stuff.
Hey Suburbia Hey Suburbia
Hey, you ever listen to the band Screeching Weasel? You should if you haven't. This is one of their songs, but a lot slower.
Fishing Hook Fishing Hook
So I was all trying to come up with something folky and I wound up with an emo song. BECAUSE THAT'S ALL I'M CAPABLE OF DOING. Also, it ends abruptly because I didn't know how to end it and also it's not terribly good.
An Ultimatum for You to Think About An Ultimatum for You to Think About
So this is a song that came together real quickly, lyrics written train of thought, like usual. It starts off tender and turns vaguely threatening. I don't know about that.
Launch Day Launch Day
An idea pops into my head. A scientist! That falls in love with a satellite he built! And declares that love on launch day! From that idea, pussy emo shit results.
Who Knows? Who Knows?
Kind of a weird sleepy thing that came together rather quickly when I got back from a party and was hungover one day.
Everything Flies That Has Wings Everything Flies That Has Wings
This is one minute long. That's just the way it worked out. I kinda like it.
At the Seams At the Seams
Completed on 04.15.04. I'm pretty proud of this one. You can decide if you dig it yourself. I've been working on various incarnations of this song for the past 3 months now.
Never Forget, Dude Never Forget, Dude
I just re-recorded this with vocals and stuff. It's real good now, if a little Interpol-ish, vocally. My usual higher vocals didn't work with this song so I dropped it a little. Whatever.
07.23.03 07.23.03
Yeah, it's a little clumsy. Yeah, I had to synthesize the drums. Yeah, I recorded the bass parts on an electric guitar because I don't own a bass. I still sorta like it, though. It sounds like it's from an old NES game.
After Sharing an Evening With Friends After Sharing an Evening With Friends
This song is a bit repetitive, and the playing is a bit rougher than I'd like, but it's not too bad. A bit eery. Way in the background I'm reading/singing a poem. The song's a bit long, I guess. I did this song a while back.
A Simple Question A Simple Question
Some might call this song trite. I just used a poem I wrote a couple years ago I found lying around that I felt captured a nice moment and turned it into a song. I dig it. Nice, simple, and upbeat. Recorded by Dave LoVerme.

I may or may not use this with my band, Go Mordecai. My good friend Steve Conrad played drums on this song and Dave LoVerme recorded it. I should have mentioned this earlier. update: I did not use it with my band, Go Mordecai.
