I wanted to post something here:
During the summer I got together with some old Albertan friends and we went into a studio for about 8 hours and recorded two quick albums.
One consists of one long 40+ minute song:

One is a quickie 25odd minute 8 song deal:

Obviously, "recorded 2 quick albums" and "good production" do not really happen at the same time, at least with us. We put all the amps in the same room with the drums and made the engineer mic it up and try his best. During the long song recording, he went around the corner and bought a sub, and then was on the phone to his girlfriend. Good times.
Anyway I just remembered these two records were on archive.org. So here.

EDIT: Oh yeah. The next day I wrote 9 songs, and the day after me and some different people whipped off this at a party to a 2 track:

That was my exhausting summer vacation, so exhausting I could only talk about it now.

We were all asked to cover 3 songs and to follow one theme: weather forecast.

We covered Codeine, Flaming Lips and Pavement.

Flaming Lips

I was about to take you to task for not adding in the guitar swells until I realized your band is in three pieces. When Jim DeRogatis put his shitty tribute band (The Satellite Hearts) together to shill his book, I told him he forgot to add-in the "ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah's" during "Unconciously Screamin'," among other glaring mistakes. He then called me a "fanboy." Ha! DeRogatis calling me a fanboy. Fat-fuck.

Anyway, sounds good! This song always gets me, even without the swells. Good job!

Thank you very much! You are, I believe, the 3rd person to listen to the whole thing all the way through (if you indeed did).

Contrary to what my teachers said in the past, my attention span is a bit longer than the groundhog that's pictured as my avatar, I did and it's spectacular. Thank you sir - I can't wait to have a listen to the other!

Good Eggs!

Reunited after eight years away... here's Five-eight, my old band, now with added "Me" power.

Criminal

The lyrics:

Criminal

Your plastic flowers
Mark the spot
On the side of the road
Your spirit hits the air
Like jumping off into the quarries cold
Metal is twisted
Firebird is lifting off of the ground
Its tires are blistered
So deeply scared of dying that we die
Oh ambulance you take your time
To take me from the scene of the crime
Often I'm left to pay to play
For the ride of my life
Oh, lady of the highway
Say your prayers for me
Cause I'm so deeply...
When I'm walking off to work
What comes to mind
With my hands in my pockets I left you lying
And now somewhere deep inside my head is the guilt
Of my imagination you know I'm
Deeply scared of dying that we die...
