chance cards for a boardgame

in 9th grade I was in computer applications class and our assignment was to make a boardgame or something. I guess these were the chance cards I made. I listened to a lot of jello biafra at the time so these were pretty political and my autistic partner did not understand them. I think we got a bad grade.

love songs tape

1. I'm in love with your girlfriend

2. even though we'll never meet

3. in pursuit (of the girl)

4. I heart orange juice

5. goodness gracious

6. Korean television

this is a tape I recorded with a tascam 4-track tape recorder when I was 17. the initial idea was to make an entire album of acoustic love songs for sarah silverman but as it progressed it became more experimental. only the first 2 songs have words, and those are both just a single line repeated. I heart orange juice is one of the doper instrumental compositions I've done. it's a good tape, I totally forgot about it until I started this blog.

4. mackaye of the storm

5. mind on the parmesan

6. my hands are killing me

7. our completely discography

8. the unbelievable righteousness of bean

9. we are not the same, I am a martian

here are some demos I recorded for the new trench party album. they are a lot different from previous stuff I've done with this band. probably a lot of these songs will not be on the finished thing and there is still a lot more songs to write. the album will be recorded at noah's house, and we've already finished one song, "mind on the parmesan". it sounds unbelievable and you can hear it here. the next sessions will be whenever noah says I can come over and I have a day off. in the meantime, enjoy these sweet acoustic sketches.

turfwar was the first solo music project for which I made cds and began when I was 15. it's instrumental music falling somewhere between punk and metal, with electronic drums and bass guitar. the first album, chrome to the dome was recorded using a tascam 4-track tape recorder and was transferred to my computer using a guitar cable. super lo-fi and nasty sounding. after this I began recording the songs straight onto my computer and I put out a follow-up ep called break yer face later that year. this .rar file contains all of those songs and 4 others that I recorded afterwards but didn't do anything with.

recent drawings

i used to draw a lot but I stopped for a long time. recently I've been getting into it again. here is some new stuff.

"up"

I started drawing this when me and ann marie were watching the movie up and it is obviously inspired by the concept. i like this one a lot.

"crazy thing"

some weird design I drew the other day.

"new thing"

I just finished this like half an hour ago. it's another thing I began during a lunch break at work.

saddam hussein for treasurer

true story: in ninth grade I made a ton of copies of this flyer and taped them all around my high school during the election for school treasurer. I thought it would be pretty funny and it was. none of the administrators found out it was me, but they were all taken down pretty quickly.
