Inspired by "Murder Mystery" by The Velvet Underground, with lyrics adapted from posts on Craigslist's endlessly fascinating "Missed Connections" section. I wanted to put positive posts in one speaker and negative in the other.

Completed on Super Bowl Sunday, and the title is an extremely dorky joke about that. I've discovered electric razors are a fun way to produce industrial effects.

First hip-hop beat (or musical work in general) of 2014. One of my goals for the year is to make more music, and perhaps more specifically finish my long-planned hip-hop album.

A while ago, I made a short little ambient loop I didn't really know what to do with. Eventually, I decided it sounded like hold music and this spoken word-ish piece resulted. Maybe it will function as a skit on my next album.

Another hip-hop beat snippet. I like to make things that sound nostalgic and summery in the middle of a snowstorm.

Synthesized guitar played by NEO. More fun with text-to-speech programs spouting nonsense, though I might get rid of those samples and add regular, human vocals.

Written for a member of an online community I'm in. She'd fallen ill, so one of us organized personal care packages for her: Mine included a mix CD, and what better way to personalize such a thing than with a cheesy motivational rap song?

I might add more to this simple little beat, but I like it how it is. Maybe when I get a rap album together this will be an "interlude".

A little bit more calm than the surrounding material, but I thought it was a good way to close things out.

One of a few tracks that I had previously put up here but didn't give a proper home yet. I'm really proud of the metallic, water-drip-like sounds that start this off - I got that sound by tapping on an empty beer bottle with a pen, then adding…

Basically an unrecognizable remix of the title track from Where I Was Yet Not Never - I experimented with slowing those tracks down, or else distorting or reversing them and ended up with the hellish collection of drones you see here.
