The Observer

This song is a departure from the punk theme the rest of this album has. But that's okay, because I like having contrast and dynamics in music.

Paranoia

An original song. The idea behind these videos is that I'm playing all the instruments, and treating it like a live performance. There is no editing or autotune, and every part is recorded start to finish in one take. This is what human-beings making music sounds like, mistakes and all.

Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed

It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Original song rerecorded and videoed for YouTube.

Her Head Fell Off

A song based on a very long, very silly joke I once heard, where "Her head fell off" is the punchline.

The Hour Glass

I don't often break out the wah peddle, but this song has always had it.

[themortaltaint]

Locked Away

An original song from back when I was going through my punk phase.

The Forgotten

I wrote this song many years ago. But I guess this subject matter is always topical.

Instant

I was having some doubts about whether I could play drums fast enough to do this song without resorting to programming. But I kept it short and simple, and managed to pull it off.

Insane

I wrote this at the back end of the punk revival at the end of the 1980s. At the time, I made the decision to just loosen up and play. It didn't need to be complicated. It didn't need to be perfect. It needed to be spontaneous.

Hopelessly Romantic

Over on the February Album Writing Month site (https://fawm.org), they like to invent new genres. The one that has endured is called Slothcore, and this is a slothcore song.

Organic Matter

This is the first song from the anti-AI EP I wrote back in 2024.
