Please don't sue us, Sierra.  I sort of wish we had bothered to learn the second half of the song.

Police Quest II

Homage to C&C Music Factory.  "Corporation" was supposed to be a side project at some point of early-90s dance music, I think.

Energize

Jamie tests the limits of his virtuosity.  We put a microphone up to his fingers to record them hitting the keyboard.

Consensual Jazz

School project about getting out of school.

Snow Day (featuring Hendrik)

Hidden track from "Don't Blame the Music", freestyle jam.  Tim started going and I just said 'wait wait let me press record'

Senior Citizen (Suckin' Me Off)

When you sew for a living you have a lot of time to think up stupid things

Web Exclusive Mystery Music

Emotion Overruled

My thoughts on NYC real estate in the post-9/11 era.  I remember making the demo for this but not this more finished recording.

Ground Zero Is the Hippest Neighborhood!

Recorded while driving on the highway, broadcasting with a tiny radio transmitter to cars up to 50 feet away.  Tim played a giant Casio while driving the car with his other hand.  Jamie really put his heart and soul into the vocals here.

Paintball (live)

None of us remembered this one at all.  Featuring Jamie's homemade synthesizer.  I didn't enjoy this one because all I did was trigger the waw voice and I was bored.

Untitled demo

The hippest song ever, in 2002.  The only thing missing is the men's chorus shouting along which we never managed to organize.

The Hippest Ever

The New Style: racy fashion trend, barely-started song.  We jammed on this for awhile but this is all that remains.

The New Style (demo)

The Trendsetter only gets a brief three-note solo in this one.  For some reason I play the drums which is why they sound like they're played by a 6-year-old.

High Heeled Shoes

Tim and I were cruisin'.  Jamie wasn't too fond of this one.

Cruisin'

My sister worked at a store called GameCrazy which was a sort of caged-off video game area in Hollywood Video, and somehow got us to play a live show there while customers came and went one Saturday afternoon.  We immediately began conceptualizing video-game based songs for the occasion.
