Engine

This is a cover of Engine by Neutral Milk Hotel. The original was the B-side of Holland, 1945. I made this recording in honor of the tenth anniversary of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Christmas Time for Girls and Boys

This is the first thing I've recorded in awhile. It's a song about Christmas that I wrote for Surfjam Stevens. I recorded it in my bedroom with a little help from my friends.

Web programmer needed to upgrade band site

I have a web site for my music. It's nice, but it needs a bit of whiz-bang web 2.0 functionality added ASAP before I go on tour. Please contact me for details. I don't imagine it will be that much work, but what do I know. I'm a poor artist, but I'm willing to negotiate a price after you evaluate the scale of the job. You should know PHP, RSS, CQB, THC, and BBQ.

It's not a question if your voice doesn't go up at the end

Do AskMe posts that don't contain a question on the front page annoy everyone else? Should the relevant text on the "Ask a new question page" be more prominent?
