FRIENDLISTLESS:This was written and recorded in 19 hours with Blake Albinson. I did bass, acoustic guitar, lyrics and almost all vocals. Blake did electric guitar, acoustic guitar, all keys, drum programming, engineering, and some vocals. Mixed by Jon Smith.
CHRISTMAS CANDLES:From a Day Album.
SUPER SALES WIZARD:From a Day Album with Dave Vanderwall. I did guitar, bass, lyrics and the lower vocal harmony. Dave did piano, v-drums, lyrics and the higher vocal harmony.
MAGIC MATTERS:This is a track from my unreleased Sample Album. Actually, all of my material is unreleased. But here's the deal with the Sample Album. One time, for a Day Album, I constructed a song entirely out of samples from my CD collection. Like, if I needed a drum track, I'd have to find a place in a song where only drums are playing and sample that. And so on with all the other tracks. It turned out cool, so two Novembers ago I decided to make an entire album of songs like that. I was using this $50 version of Cakewalk (Music Creator), and after writing ten somewhat complete songs, I had reached the limit of what the program could accomplish. So I put the Sample Album on hold until I could get a better system. In the meantime, my hard drive died, leaving me with only my rough mixes (mixed on regular old computer speakers.) So I can either spend at least $5000 at a data retrieval place to get my Cakewalk files back, or I'll have to try to work with these rough mixes, which isn't out of the question. In any case, you won't hear the Sample Album anytime soon. Except for this semi-finished track right here.
