This is a redo of "I've Made Myself A Wall", from the 2009 24 hour challenge on Alonetone.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

This is a far from finished version of a new song. I have lyrics for it, but haven't recorded any vocals yet. I'll repost it when it's a little more completed. For now though, I'm anxious to post it even as it is. Hope you can dig on it.

This is another Remix, and it's on something I honestly did not expect myself to be doing, but on request of a few Monster Hunters, I decided to remake their Anthem. Now, anyone wanna kill a Khezu with me?
