all right!! in an effort to make this website more concise and have all my songs available for download, last night I hastily put together a compilation of songs I’ve recorded which never got on albums for whatever reason. it is called “loose” and you can download that boy here.
here’s what tracks:
1. making dollars is the only thing that makes sense (recorded during the [untitled] sessions but I think I already had too many songs on that album or something. later used on a terminal detour tribute to patrick swayze and a limited edition reissue of “NEWS” with 3 bonus songs.)
2. exploitation song (recorded during the Alright! sessions but I decided I didn’t really like it. later used on the “NEWS” reissue)
3. funday breakfast (recorded during the Alright! sessions)
4. mackaye of the storm (acoustic demo of a song that was going to be on an album called necessity which was conceptualized but never really recorded except for a few songs that wound up on DECADENCE)
5. burning with youth (recorded recently. probably won’t be on an album)
6. sporadic pace (whale milk cover) (recorded during the sessions for the ill-fated Whale Milk split album)
7. my hands are killing me (recorded for necessity. a different, full-band version appears on DECADENCE)
8. the loneliest man (recorded during the HACK sessions. I don’t know if this will be on an album or not)
9. horses are naysayers (recorded for necessity)
10. necessity (written for necessity, but this version was recorded for a daily music blog I used to have called the glenn beckoner which is now defunct. the trench party band periodically plays this song at shows)
11. we call them god (written and recorded for the glenn beckoner. this is a sequel to “you call us god” from mercy)
12. the unbelievable righteousness of bean (recorded for necessity)
13. mosh for jesus (dillinger four cover) (recorded for the glenn beckoner)
14. american apartment (recorded for necessity)
15. experimental sleepy (recorded for the glenn beckoner when I was really tired)
16. strawberry (everclear cover) (recorded for the glenn beckoner)
17. we are not the same, I am a martian (demo version originally recorded for necessity but later re-recorded twice for the upcoming split cassette with House Cat)
18. your agenda (recorded recently and used in this music video. I could imagine a full-band recording of this ending up on a future album)
