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...
