The LA Beard Club was a musical project of a guy named Daniel Mueller, from California, probably LA. He was a total stranger who asked me if I, with Super Famicom, would do a split with him. I said that would be cool. It was 2007, and I was interested in doing what I could to help beginners get 'out there', the way I was 'out there'. My songs were all quickly recorded in my parents' basement, around the time that I did Emily Songs 2. There was a back room at the Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant in Champaign, IL. That was where I did most of the singing and playing that went into the writing of these songs. I think there was someone who worked up stairs who didn't like that I did that. At the time I was really into writing lyrics at diners, and my songs were kind of goofy, and I used a very cool fake accent. The cd covers on hand-colored copy paper, wrapped in laminate, so I wouldn't say they're all of equal quality.

Staying the night at my friend Carlos's house, Evan (of The Winslows and Nice And Friendly) and I had just recorded our first pop punk song together. It had been a very fun day, and I wanted to write and record some music. While everyone was crashing out and watching a movie, I set up my four track and recorded this set of instrumental guitar songs. They are weird and sloppy, and really cool in some parts.

The spring of 2007 was a time of some severe ups and downs. There was something in the insert of this cd about how Emily and I had broken up before I finished this album. That's the truth. At the time, I really believed in seeing things through, and I was a little sore about having ruined my life for the sake of a relationship that wasn't worth it. Sometimes I chalk it up to my issues with self-worth. These songs were recorded in my parents' basement while they were probably sleeping. I didn't have a sleep schedule.
