Hot Bleeding God Rockets, batman!

I was in Ocala last weekend and decided to pull my old computer out from storage. I took the opportunity to listen to all the music I recorded when I first started recording, back in like 2005. For whatever reason, [they weren't finished, they were crappy, they were embarrassing,] I never rendered out mp3's of these songs. As such, I haven't heard these in many years and they make me feel nostalgic and happy. So here I present some of the songs that didn't make the cut back when I was like eighteen and nineteen... Be warned though, I only like them out of nostalgia, if I thought these were actually good, I would have done something with them by now...
As a side note, I also found a bunch of cover songs I recorded from around that period and I might post a few of those in the near future. Some of the songs I still perform, and in fact I just recorded in those two drunken practice videos. I would be very curious to compare the two tracks side by side and hear if I ever improved at all in all these damned years.

Acoustic, Untitled - This song was supposed to pick up where I left off with Piano Murder and Puppy Dogs, It was going to be the third sister song. Then Puppy Dogs never even got finished. This song was all but forgotten.

Blues Rock - This is ass kickingly hilarious for about twenty seconds.

CheesyGuy - This song is really crummy. I was trying to make a kind of heavy song. Failure. Mark Scoville plays some fine guitar on this track though. Also, one of the guitar tracks must have gone missing and the old program I used got confused at some point and decided to replace the missing guitar riff from this song, with the same ass kicking cowboy riff from the song above, titled "Blues rock". Wtf, mate?

Cow Polker - Mike Dunston and I made a song called "New Shoes Loves Song" Half of that song was one of Mike's really excellent songs. The other half of that song was one of my retarded songs called "Cow Polker". There is a really weird gap cut in the middle of this song and I don't know why. Also it ends totally abruptly... and It sounds like a stone-man is playing sax...

Danger - blah blah blah more unfinished crap

Dumbass - an apt title

Forged in Steel - A collaboration between me and Mark Scoville that went unfinished. A pity too as this song was shaping up to be really bad ass...

If the Battle... - An old ass proto version

Maybe a Heart Loop - barracuda, anyone?

Message - This song had potential. This is a jazzy version of the Police's "Message in a Bottle". Problem is, I was never fast enough to record the guitar part. So I never threw down vocals either. Go ahead and sing along though. It would have been sweet.

Secret Bay - I was always ashamed of this. Looking back, I can see why. Not the best but, eh, I stopped giving a shit about trying to make everything "the best"....

Slightly Stupid Jam - I don't know... it is what it says, I believe.

Shorts - Practicing writing lyrics. This was never intended to be a finished product. I was just trying to practice writing and singing.

the Rain Man, He Comes - I dunno, just another whatever song...

Another mouthful of bile to be spewed....

• Slide One, title, Initial caps on "Spewed"

Ok, so

It's official,

I haven't slept in years

so now I want to gush like a kid,

About shit I haven't cared about... since I was a kid

Do you remember what it felt like to be young and confident? Do you remember what it felt like to be a bitter, old, washed-up ass, in a young, handsome body?

Do you believe that italics make me sarcastic...?

let me start over...

Uh.... I used to think about "duality"....  ha.

I guess it was something I'd heard of all my life.

Ying and Yang

Yes & No

Black and white

whatever cliche opposite example is applicable. 

I guess, being raised in america, in a parochial school no less, I was at a predisposition to believe in christianity as a youngster.... offensive?   ...   let me start again...

I always say it, "Organized religion is like organized sports, it sucks the will to.... it.. uh, well... "  what was it I said again?

oh yeah, fuck that shit. Sports teams, combustion engines, etc...    wait...  one more try at being civilized...  

Right, here's my point: 

Your religion is more often than not, [I only assume, I have no statistics] dictated by your culture and geography...      Holy fuck!!!   worst blog post ever....  millionth re-try...

nope

I give up...

King Beast, he rides again... (#2)

The return of the bible belt, part two...

I used the same embed tag as last time, it still doesn't work, so here's the direct link once again:
The Night Beast is on the move

I'll write more about this tomorrow maybe, but for now, do you find yourself wanting to buy leather car seats?


[Edit from the next day] :
Well I'm just an overly dramatic little mother fucker aren't I? Hahaha.  When I get drunk I really get in to my practice sessions. I also feel like I sing better if I can force myself to identify with every lyric I sing [although I'm not sure that's the case].
It's a pity that when I'm drunk is the only time I ever feel engulfed in that particular madness which makes me compelled to record my practice sessions with a camera. I guess when I'm sober I know it's probably not the best idea. I think I might have my shit going on just a weency bit better when I'm not totally pissed though. I guess most of these songs specifically aren't that much better though. A lot of these songs I learned how to play when I was quite a bit younger, and I don't really play that much anymore. I just want to play different stuff from last time, for the sake of diversity. It's funny, a good number of these songs I learned how to play, not because it was my favorite song by that particular artist, but for other reasons. Some of my favorite songs are just to hard for me to ever play. Some have lots of drums and piano and wouldn't translate well to just an acoustic guitar.  I don't know, new paragraph...

These videos really help me out a lot though. It's because they help me critique myself tremendously. When I'm just practicing guitar, I'm so in the moment and focusing on what I'm doing, that I don't have time to think about all the stuff that I'm not doing. Watching these has given me the opportunity to pick myself apart and point out the countless aspects of my singing and playing that need more work. With any luck it will be a while before I have the dirty punk-ass nerve to post another self indulgent video of me practicing guitar. If anything, this and that other long, drunken video I posted serve as an excellent mile marker, by which I'll be able to contrast my improvements against in the future. And the next time, It will be triumphantly as I come in the night, conquering and consuming everything in my path...

That was a me giving myself a pep talk, wasn't it...?       ::sigh::      ...woohoo!
