Current Project (2001)

EARFUQ

the idea behind EARFUQ is to create a postmodern project that encompasses an original body of work, but creates a sense of style-parody over a countless number of genres. songs are listed in the order of their creation. i will post more as the project approaches completion. the song links are for the appropriate mp3 downloads.

The Goat Song

this is a cover of a song marcus hart and ben jerred wrote for their english literature class in high school. its the story of Oedipus the King told in verse. it would probably be the initial single from the release of EARFUQ as it climbs straight up the billboard charts. this song is performed "Lie Still Little Bottle" style for all you TMBG fans out there.

Soultrapper soultrapper is a cover of a pontus autopilot song about hating your life condition. you will find it to be quite the industrial gem.
Bövetoyan National Anthem This is an Art of Noise style parody! I created this song using only elements that I recorded from my voice. I sampled everything and recorded the Bövetoyan National Anthem. For those of you who don't know about Bövetoya, it's the place where I was born into Bövetoyan royalty and where I wrote music in the 80s before I went to Ringling and eventually back to Seattle.
The Goat Song 2.1 its almost like i smoked a big bag of crack and crammed the 5-minute Goat Song into a 3-minute punk rock nitemare. Enjoy!
Ghostbustaz my cover of the Ray Parker Jr. masterpiece, the Theme from Ghostbusters! updated for the '00s...
Gay Club 808 You can't tell me your feet ain't movin'.
All Things i recorded "all things", a song that Scott "Kurdt" Curtin and I wrote so many years back during my brief tenure in LA, back in the old "Los Torsos" days. its a Pink Floyd style parody of sorts.
Now Forever 2.0 This is the final version of Now Forever. i definitely benefitted greatly from the production tips i got from my old roommate and synthpop guru Brian Turney. listen to this dude, he knows what he's talking about. This might be one of the greatest songs I've written so far.
(Du Hast) Einhander This is my original Rammstein song. you guys might know that there's a videogame called Einhander that Square made, i think. anyways, i wrote the words to this song when i was living in Seattle back in 98, and i was working a shitty job at a Waldensoftware/EB hybrid store. i thought the game Einhander sounded like a Rammstein song. anything German sounds like Rammstein to me. and since i dont actually know any German, i just made up my own German words. i've discovered that this song is a lot more enjoyable when you read the lyrics, so i've included them for your reading pleasure. enjoy!
Chastity Kinda gothy, kinda creepy, and in 9/8 time. the timing was the real difficulty in making this track, but i think it pays off in the result. the lyrics concern an abstinent person whose resolve to be chaste is beginning to disintegrate. Have a listen.
this CD is finally done! email me if you would like to request a copy of it!
