fuck the dead (original album mix)
well, it's a song about necrophilia. what?
this is actually the first thing i recorded in the new electronic style, and i sort of picked up where i had left off, thematically.
ok, if it's not blatantly obvious, it's entirely tongue-in-cheek and absurdist. i'm poking fun at what i'm assuming people are perceiving the spooky goth stereotype as.
i have removed a section full of painful homer samples. i put the spiderman sample in after and it's one of the things i'm most proud of, actually.

a psycho kills a cow (original album mix)
so,
there's this dude, and he sounds sort of like one of the monsters from doom II,
and he lures a cow with a weird mating call and then attacks it and it's kind
of twisted and hilarious. subtle vegan brainwashing? yes, but more on an
environmentalist level.

about a squirrel (original album mix)
the guitar loop is taken from a popular nirvana song, whereas most of the building sound pasted on top is from civ 2. no real message here. just a particularly savvy squirrel that's getting ready for winter by building some kind of fortress.

skaters (original album mix)
the original version of this track, along with a write-up, is over here:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/track/skaters
this version is sped up a little bit and has some keyboard sequencing added to it but is otherwise pretty similar.

useless (original album mix)
kind of a new wave / synth pop track. as can be heard, i'm still not out of the clutches of trent reznor - there's an awkward nin sample in the middle of the track.
this is the first track with my new synth on it. that's a large part of what the track is.
this isn't the first document that demonstrates my struggle with coming to terms with the futility of existence, but maybe it's the first meaningful one. in a very real sense, that struggle has defined most of my life. listening to the lyrics now, they seem sort of trite. yet, there's a large amount of who i've become within these words.

boogeyman reconstruction (discarded first vocal take)
this was recorded over the christmas holidays on my brand new 4-track. i ended up rejecting the track, then redoing the vocals for the second demo. it is itself a redone version of a track on one of the cassette demos:
http://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/track/boogeyman-depressed
you can hear that the drum programming was fairly meticulous here, adding all kinds of unusual sounds. there's no synths or samples here, it's all ry30.
while the strong backbeat improves part of the track, i prefer the cassette demo, overall.
recorded in dec, 1997.
