Because I've no reason not to, I'm happy to offer my various noisemaking for anyone curious enough to download it. There are basically the two sorts -- in the full record section, clicking the cover will treat you to a zip file of the album. Info about each (as well as other DL links) can be found via the records page.

The other sort of download are the songs that aren't on the records. Most of them are either covers I've done for the hell of it, sketches for songs I haven't used yet, and possibly an alternate version or two.

other tracks

The Hog's Trough Dance (5:21) -- In addition to farting around on my own, I've lately been working with other folks as well (hopefully on a more full-time basis soon). This is a reworking of the first track from A Sentimental Attachment to Objects, featuring Everett Ray (lead guitar) and Darren Rogers (keyboards, noises). It was recorded in Ev's basement in the spring of 2007.

Backdrifts (4:01) -- An acoustic cover of the Radiohead song from their 2003 album Hail to the Thief. I figured it'd be interesting to try this song acoustic.

The Flower and the King (2:26) -- A song sketch that I'm not really sure what to do with, but I kind of like it.

Golden (2:40) -- A song sketch that will likely show up on the next record.

Hard to Find (3:31) -- A cover of the American Analog Set song from their 2003 album Promise of Love. It's pretty straightforward as a cover -- obviously a bit more low-fi, but it's one of my favourite songs, so I wanted to give it a shot.

Heart Attacks (2:58) -- A preview of the next album. This one's fully baked, not a sketch.

Icarus (Acoustic) (3:24) -- The original sketch for the track from Scatterbrain. In some ways I like this version better.

Louis Le Prince (2:02) -- I've never really been able to work this little sketch in anywhere, but it's such a nerdy song, I love it.

Mer Princess (4:36) -- Another sketch that has a lot going for it, but which I haven't really been able to futz with yet.

Sahara Gold (2:10) -- A cover of Bruce Cockburn from his 1984 album Stealing Fire. Always really liked this one and I tried to kind of make it my own a bit.

Shytown (4:11) -- A cover of Pete Krebs, from the No Confidence Man/Shytown split single with Elliott Smith (1994). This is one of the first covers I ever recorded and I still like it.

Tractor Rape Chain (3:16) -- A cover of my favourite song on Guided By Voice's 1994 album Bee Thousand. It's not as sophisticated as their version (and that kinda says something) but I had fun with it.

Who Could Win a Rabbit? (2:01) -- A cover of Animal Collective, from their 2004 album Sung Tongs. I mostly just wanted to see if I even could do this. Apparently I could.

Wolves (2:30) -- A sketch that will definitely be on the next album, cos I like it a lot.
