I usually only work on stuff for an evening, either as a joke, or to get an idea down, and then never get back to fixing anything. None of this was meant for public consumption, so don't expect too much. None of these are mixed or mastered, so wearing headphones is definitely best.

Covers with Friends:
K.D. Lang's "Constant Craving." The YouTube link doesn't work on a mobile device. :(
My cover of "Constant Craving" with my friend Robynn on vocals. These things my friends sang are all pretty old, some 5 years, some 25.
****
The popular "Summertime."
My cover of "Summertime" with my sister Jody on vocals. I never could get rid of the zappy static in the one sound I made, so I call it a feature instead of a bug.
****
Liza Minnelli's "New York, New York."
My cover of "New York, New York" recorded on 4-track cassette tape in the early 90's with my friend Robynn on vocals. You can look up what a cassette tape is on Wikipedia. :)

My cover of "Youth" with vocals by Michael.

My dance remix of "Setting Standards" done as a joke to piss him off, but he liked it.

Foxxxy Mulder's song "Burial" (original).
My "Burial" cover so far with robot singer.
A more 80s "Burial" cover with Jody singing the vocals, getting over a cold. A very rough draft.

Original stuff, mostly instrumentals:
"Heavenly," an original from the early 90's recorded on 4-track cassette. Music by me, lyrics and vocals by Robynn.
A little Danny Elfman-esque thing I did years ago right before going to bed after getting my first cheap orchestral sample library and spending too much time installing it. No fancy articulations or anything.
My orchestral disco theme "Space Song" for a cheesy sci-fi movie trailer a friend and I were going to make that we never made.
"Turtle," a Delerium-esque song that never got its vocals. But hey! It has a real guitar!
"Pussyfinger A" a James Bond-esque song with a robot singer and and older Bond style.
"Pussyfinger B" a slower version, with a better robot singer, that would eventually sound along the lines of Garbage's "The World is Not Enough."
"HQ" with robot vocal, from the "upcoming" musical "West Gate Story" about a star-crossed library romance with this song being about re-shelving books in the HQ (sexuality) section.
More misc weird little instrumental loops from the past 40+ years:
"82402"
"Nord 2001"
"BA"
"Cold War"
"Ennui"
"Erotic Bible" with voices of George and Robynn.
"So Hard" with samples from the "Bounce Back" cassette by The Mormons.
"Tang"
"Thipy"
"Unknown Interlude 2"
"Waltz"
"Sex" with samples from Amway tapes and a couple from a Woody Allen movie.
"Grunge"
"MT"
"Malign"
"Oibo"
"Violin"
"Quest"
"Xylophone." Jimmy on the xylophone.

I found a Karaoke site that lets you download everything in separate parts including the demo vocals, so these are "professional" vocals I was playing around with, but all the crappy music is mine. I just worked on them a few hours to get the rhythm tracks down before deciding to scrap them at least until I can find somebody to sing them:
Within Temptation's "What Have You Done."
My version of "What Have You Done."
My version of "I Will Always Love You." Totally unfinished, just a temp drum and bass really. The karaoke vocals were sung like the Whitney Houston version, although the original is by Dolly Parton. I literally spent more time creating the wonky "dub step" sound and chopping the vocals to fit a constant beat than I did on the rest of this piece of crap so far.
**************************
A quick mash-up I mixed to prove to a friend that "Gangnam Style" and the old 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This" have a similar feel to them.
**************************
"I Once Was Lost," a mini movie my friend Caleb and I made some years ago with an old DV camcorder. We made all the music, the night before the deadline for submitting the movie. Despite the blurry footage and dirty lens, it won "best cinematography."
