Since I didn’t quite have a song uploaded for last month I decided to at least share these old demo songs we made a long time ago when we went up and practiced with Mike one time. They aren’t that great of quality and their isn’t any vocals in them, but hopefully they’ll compensate a little for the lack of a song for last month. We actually did three songs that day, but one of them is the song I wanted to post for last month, so I decide to just post two so that I don’t spoil the surprise. (UPDATE: The third song, Montezuma, had been uploaded.)
These songs were all recorded by me on my Tascam 4 track Portasudio MKIII, with me on guitar, Billy on bass, and Mike on the drums. Anyway I’ll put the one I omitted up with the others when I’m finished re-recording it, and have uploaded it to the audio section. So without further adieu, here’s the link to those demo songs.

I decided that we don’t have enough songs up on the website, as a matter of fact the last one was recorded about nine months ago. But it’s not like I haven’t been writing songs, I just haven’t been recording them. I have a ton of songs written, but I think I’ve just been waiting for us to find a drummer to really record them. Well, I think instead I’m just going to record what I have with DrumTrack and Hydrogen, and when we do find a drummer, then we’ll just re-record them, because actually I’m still learning mixing techniques so the quality of these recordings compared to others aren’t the best anyway. Mostly they’re just something to show what we sound like, and the direction we’re headed musically. So I’ve decided that to keep myself motivated with this, I’m going to record at least one of the songs I’ve written every month and upload it to the site. Perhaps I’ll get to the point of doing it more often, but at least nobody will have to wait nine frikin’ months just to hear a new song from us. So in that spirit (and because October is almost over with), I’ve uploaded a new song called Break It, you can listen to or download it in the audio section.
Oh yeah, before I forget, I also decided to get rid of the ogg vorbis format in favor of the lossless FLAC format. If you have no idea what ogg or FLAC is don’t worry, just download the mp3′s and be happy. But for those who actually do use oggs you probably also know what FLAC is and how to convert FLAC to ogg if you need to, so really nothing’s been lost. But if for some strange reason you do know what ogg is but not FLAC, you can use BonkEnc to convert FLAC to ogg. And for those of you who’s curiosity has been peaked, FLAC is an audio format that has no loss in quality like a wav file, but is compressed so it’s a lot smaller than a wav file. Mp3 and ogg music files are lossy, meaning they are of lesser quality because of the compression method used to make them much smaller than FLACs and wavs. But anyway, enjoy the new and upcoming music.

We went and saw Lipstick Homicide last night, and a punk band called Baby Guts opened the show. Afterwards I got their latest CD, The Kissing Disease, while Billy got that and their EP, Gasoline (I didn’t have enough money for both :-( but I did get a free button :D ) Anyway you should definitely check them out, they also have a website at www.babyguts.com
I hope they play more shows near us, I wouldn’t mind seeing them again, they were pretty fuckin’ cool. If they’re playing a show near you go see them, they’re awesome.
