Hello there, after several years of procrastinating, I’ve started a Patreon. It’s a website where you can sponsor independent creators and get access to exclusive content and stuff. I’ll be posting songs I’m working on as well as writing as much as people want to hear about them as I try to finish the next album.

The first song’s about psychedelic mushrooms as antidepressants. It’s called Fun Guy — I threw it on Youtube so I could maybe lure you into sponsoring me on the Patreon, let’s see if it works:

Welp, the album’s off to mastering. What a needlessly awful process that was (spoiler: all my fault). Maybe one day I’ll write up all the things I learned but for now my priority is to move on and keep some guilt-free momentum going. I’m excited to not take four years to make my next thing.

So there are some shows booked. I’ll have an official release date (spoiler: November 2nd) and all that jazz sometime soon. I’m working on new songs and I’m not sure what I’ll do with them yet. Slow and steady wins the race.

Also: my buddy JB who runs Songfight! had a 40th birthday recently. A bunch of us did covers of his songs as a birthday surprise. I covered What We Need More of is Science (original is here.)

This one’s been a struggle and I think it still needs a bunch of work, but I’m calling the demo done and I’ll come back to it. I was trying to do something a bit different and ehhhh I dunno:

I Need to Love Myself More and You Less (demo)

Anyway, that’s a wrap on the demos for the next record. You can listen to them all here (warning: spoilers). Gonna take a short break and then start hassling friends for feedback and then I’ll make a bunch of decisions on what needs to be fixed. And then fix those things.

Tired of staring at this demo, so here you go:

Come Back (demo)

Should be track #8 on Guess Who’s a Mess. Only one more demo to go and then I get to start finishing this bad boy off.

Whoops. I found out on Friday that last week I accidentally uploaded a very old version of my Guess Who’s a Mess demo. That’s pretty embarrassing, I was actually pretty horrified but I think I’m good now. Anyway here’s the latest one instead:

Guess Who’s a Mess (demo 2)

Okay, moving on…

Do you remember that I did a cover of a friend’s Christmas song last year? And that it was called Fuck You, Motherfucker (It’s Christmas)? Ah, good times. Back when I made songs.

Seriously gotta get moving on these album demos. Here’s one:

The First Thing About Me (demo)

The mix is a disaster, but I MOVE ON. It’ll be the last track on Guess Who’s a Mess.

Here’s my last monthly demo thing of 2009. It’s a cover of a Christmas song my friend JB wrote and that I really like. It’s not safe for work, was done in a day and a half and here it is:

Fuck You, Motherfucker (It’s Christmas) (4MB)

Thanks to JB for the background vocals! Oh and here’s the original.

Anyway, that about wraps it up for 2009. I’ve enjoyed doing the monthly songs but I’m looking forward to taking a break. Thanks for listening dudes, have a good holiday.

This month’s demo is actually mostly a song by my pal and guitarist Ben Mullin. He played a demo of it for me and I was like “let me cram my filthy vocals into that and produce it up” and he was like “let go of me”.

I Think You’re Alright (5 MB)
