I don't think I ever quite finished this one up. It was a nice idea that went nowhere.

This is probably the earliest track that has survived. This was written with Scream Tracker 2, back when I was in the 7th or 8th grade. This is the work of a child. Remember that.

This was the song I had to pull out of my wazoo on Monday night to finish the challenge. I didn't try anything fancy, since I had not time for re-takes, but I think it came out OK. It could really use a country slide-guitar or something, though…

It seems everybody I know takes a pile of subscriptions. I wonder if I'm missing out. Needless to say, this was bitchin' hard to sing, and I cheated like hell. Got old and fat just sittin around waitin till a new solution is found Solve my…

I recently read Walden, and spent a lot of time thinking about Thoreau's idea that it is folly to suffer to put away against future suffering. But of course that would be silly advice to follow. Save my money for a rainy day It’s the way so they…

This song IS autobiographical. I been thinkin about what they call the best-case scenario And it's 20 more years of this shit, don't you know dealing with stuff I don't give a damn about in return for a certain pecuniary amount ref: can't…

I found out I could make this weird noise scratching over the center pickup on my strat. I looped it and built an "instrumental" over it.

Another song I once recorded badly on a 4-track. This one is not so much changed from the original, just a better performance (I hope!) and recording. Well I'm rusting away and I'm soon gonna die 'cause my body is slowly being oxidized and I…

An oldie, which I recorded very badly on a 4-track back in the 20th century. I have always wanted to do a "full" version with the bombastic fanfare I always envisioned. Here it is. I grind my butt into the sand where the ocean meets the…

Written while I was an exchange student in the U.S., probably at the student library, right after the New Year 1998.

I wanted more songs that WEREN'T about death and destruction. This song is not really autobiographical. I go down to my basement room To get away from everything To forget forgettable days Try to find something interesting Got a big comfy…

A song I wrote when I was about 19 years old. I never thought it was good enough to record. Maybe I was wrong! I float around in a pool of slime I can't be seen with the naked ey You know it's gonna be lotsa fun To munch out on a bacterium…

A song about the upcoming End of the World. They tell me that the world is almost ended the calender runs out and there's nothing more to say The sun will flicker out and leave us all to die So many things will be left undone You and I will…

A strange interludey thing based around the Akira drum and a really funky choir sample, singing a gratingly mechanical version of the opening theme to the Delphine game Out of This World (Another World). Yes, I was a nerd.

This version with vocals was recorded well after the fact. It was written with Sarah Palin in mind.

I wanted to start an album with a burst of white noise. I'm not sure why. Nor was I sure what to do afterwards. So I just chucked out a few chords.
