...is the name I stuck on the songs that Lizzie and I recorded back when I lived in places where I could play my drum kit without angry neighbors setting my house on fire. One of my chief criteria in selecting a place the next time I move is going to be the ability to record music there, because I've got a bunch of songs piling up. But in the meantime, here's what we did in the '00s. (The songs below are on the rough side, but I found a tattered magazine from 1992 that told me lo-fi is all the rage.)

As the credits reflect, several of the songs above were based on demos that Matthew Amster-Burton brought to the band we attempted to start in Seattle in the '90s; he wrote the vocal and guitar parts, I wrote the bass and drum parts, and then Lizzie and I finally recorded them years later. The one thing I wound up recording with Matthew was a two-song CD with one of our many drummers-for-a-day; here's an excerpt:
