Maggie

Warning: this song is like... something really unfamiliar and sort of uncomfortable and also cold and unfinished. I had a whole lot of fun making it though, and that's really what it's all about. The more I can make non-linear songs with loads of weird found-sounds and sing repetitive phrases, the better. I got the phrase "Maggie, you do love me" from something Homer said on the Simpsons. I like the line, "Will you remove a bone and throw it?" It also used to have an ending that sounded like "Hey Ya" by OutKast, but it really didnt fit so I cut it off.

I Dont Have A Camera

This is one of the best songs I've ever written. I wrote it last summer while I was staying at Ian's place in DC and I was lying on the couch and all of a sudden it just came to me. I had seen Hitler in a brick wall a while previously and that was creepy. This is an unmixed version that Charlie and I recorded last fall. I actually never have had a camera. When I was young I really wanted one but my parents were always like, "No way you know how expensive those things are with the film and getting that shit developed?" and so I never have had one and I feel like if I get one now then I'd have to get really really into taking pictures and I dont have time for that shit.

I'm So Bored that I Could Cry

This is a music video that was shot in 2005 directed by my good friend Nikc Miller and featuring myself and Erica Holsey and Sheena Callage and Nikc's friend Kevin. It was shot on Kevin's farm and features a trashcan-throwing contest between a cow and the devil. The song itself I recorded in 2004 (I think) and it's meant to be a take-off of Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry which is a totally sweet song. My singing's pretty off-key and I dropped the drumsticks at one point but I think the shambolic quality is what makes it great. I dont really shoot pigeons.
