first part of a new song...  Just enjoying the no-fi sloppy anger of it all...  Makes me feel like a teenager again!

Bleach Slant (segment)

Only One Night Rough Mix

Dallas Disco Rough Mix

Song I wrote in a dream while sleeping for 14 minutes.  I never got a full version I liked.  I either got good guitars or good vocals, but never both.  

14 minutes early demo

This demo made it on the album I think.  The only track on the album that wasn't recorded in the final house sessions.  The guitar part I wrote when I was 15, some of the words at 16, then finished the song at 18.  It's lightyears ahead of what I'm doing now on the kool scale.

Southern Cross demo

Pretty proud of the guitar bits on this one.  Was known for pulling a Pete Townshend windmill action in this, and for playing the solo without picking the strings.  I was a showoff.  

Text is Cheap demo

Another one I don't remember writing or recording.  I thought these were 2009, but this and "Fine Art of Subtlety" are actually 2008 creations...  Jesus...  Time flies...

Actions and Words (noise therapy demo)

This was from a rehearsal the first time a band played it live.  Very early in the writing process.  I hadn't written the second verse lyrics so I borrowed from Pavement's song Frontwards.

Straight on (sjb) First day live demo w/borrowed Pavement lyrics

Ripped from a live video from last year.  I need to start playing out again.

Childish Song (belief in Love) old lo-fi live take

Just a silly pop song.  Sometimes they're important.
