so, while dave and i hit beej with sticks until he agrees to the name "tom nevers head" for our band, you guys can listen to some rough cuts. we still have to add percussion to the songs, and i'm hoping donny can make my singing sound less whiny and nasal, but technology has its limits.

the full rigged ship
the coasts of barbary
the leaving of liverpool
the pirate's serenade

a few caveats: dave's intentionally picking songs that are just out of my range to make me sound more "raw" or something. also, he sounds really, really drunk on leaving of liverpool, which is odd, because he was only a little drunk when we recorded that. also, we're still a little sloppy, but i think we sound pretty good for how long we've been practicing, which is... what, a month and a half, i think?

dave's making me memorize the irish rover to sing for friday at andrea and todd's party. that's a lot of words. it kinda hurts my head to think about.
