This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.
Listened to your entire album and gawd to I wish I could play like you do! I can strum but I just can't fingerpick. Well done, sir. This last one seems to have some air of whimsey to it. This seems to show your sense of humor. I liked it.
Good music, sir.

So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC

This is not a serious attempt at a song, it's just a dare. One of my coworkers challenged me to cover the Rebecca Black song and I like a good challenge.

As promised, listened to the whole thing... stylistically it's not totally my thing and I don't really have any points of reference, but it's good for what it is. Definitely fits the loud, abrasive, punk rawk vibe, anyway. I think "old" and "aweful dad" were the standouts.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
613 is a prime number, 136 is triangular, and 361 is a square number - I didn't know what to name it ( but I wrote a math book once called Mathematical Bliss). Anyone want to put some metal vocals on this?
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
Parts of it loosely reminded me of the final fantasy theme. The unison run section at the end would be a great tag for a fusion tune, reminded me of some Chick Corea sort of stuff.
My girlfriend came to the music store with me yesterday to get my new delay pedal and she patiently waited while i checked it out.. so this is dedicated to her.
Musically, I tried to create a rhythm and texture using only natural harmonics…
Moody downtempo instrumental inspired by a single word randomly looked up in the dictionary. (The Dictionary Challenge on the RPM boards!) In no way related to the recent flurry of teenage vampire/werewolf flicks.
Although it doesn't have anything to do with the teen movies.. if you replaced the melody instrument with something grittier it might not be bad for soundtrack material.

Great tune. Full of guitar goodness!
Love the clean guitar tone on this. Really sets the tone for the distorted section. Really good.
Absolutely love this track! Great job.
I like melodic twists and turns this one takes. It has an off-kilter/unsettling sort of atmosphere to it.
This has a nice crunch to it. The sound production on it is top notch as well (and louder rock is not easy to mix at all.)
Hey wait - that's ME!
one of my favorite songs.
Gorgeous!

What an absolutely wonderful album, Dan! Must download. Well done!
Another instant fave! And this has now become my fave on the album. :)
Eyes closed, setting by a peaceful brook.
My absolute fave on the album so far. This is gorgeous!
*click* fave!
Wonderful track! Wonderful playing!
This is absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful album!
Sweet playing.
I freakin' love this. Absolutely fucking love this. Wow. Wow wow wow. k

Groovy.
Hah... nice lyric alteration. But you left out the rap!

Cool stuff, great feel and changes throughout.
I'm using the Metal Foundry SDX VSTi, programmed in Fruity Loops.
It was a little slow getting started, but I like what you built it up to.
Killer intro, great riffs throughout...
Cool...nice rhythms, and I agree with kirk that the bass + whatever is on top of it sounds great
Tasty! The nylon solo sounds great. Wish I had time/cred to weasel my way in and work with you two ;)

Mmm, delay pedals. Sounds like a clock ticking in places, which in turn makes me think of something that could've gone in a Pink Floyd tune.
Mm, tasty electro groove.

Cool funky groove, the little up and down sounds give it some motion
Cool... would be a great hip-hop beat, although I still prefer it in this form sans vocals ;)
Definitely a bit odd...but interesting, caught my attention
Nice, I enjoyed this. You should paint yourself into corners more often!
Kind of an Our Lady Peace sound... good stuff
Cool tune! Can't decide who it reminds me of... a bit Metallica, a bit Soulmotor I think.
Cool breakdown there around the 3:00 mark!
