I don't know what's scarier: re-imagining your favorite early-60s Halloween novelty record sounds as Garageband "dub," a full MIDI trumpet section, or the slug people who overtake the vampires late in the song. (You'll know it when you hear it.)

It's disco-licious tune ambitions, and how they eat you up!

A "disgruntled" version of a song I've been playing with for a while. Wrote the 'actual' song, but ended up preferring this nasty explosion of multi-tracked vocal and noise to the acoustic version.

When I was in high school, I loved industrial music. I still do, but secretly. This was an attempt to sate my inner angst-ridden teen. Some NSFW lyrics at the very beginning.

So, when I got a copy of the excellent
Music From The BBC Radiophonic Workshop a while back, I got a wild hair to sequence tracks of that nature. This is one of them. I wanted it to sound like music from an educational science film.

Cover of the classic Neutral Milk Hotel track, recorded with a band. The three of us are writers by trade, so we're calling ourselves "Evil and Wow!" (get it? get it??)

Inspired by true events, and wanting to rip-off the repetitive drone of "Baby's On Fire."

I wanted to write a short, Carpenters-y song about being lonesome and disintegrating. Ideally, it'd be sung by a woman with a melodious, colorful voice, not a froggish man who croaks like Luke Haines stuck between two boulders.

The Wicker Man, Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The May-Pole of Merry Mount," and the auto-tuner. It's seasonal song - we're heading our of autumn, wearing out animal masks, and barreling head-long into winter.
