DOWNLOAD (14 MB)
For a generation (and I’m talkin’ ‘bout my generation) raised on Bart Simpson and the Internet, the word ‘sentimental’ sounds like an insult. Sentiment is for Grandma and Grandpa – it’s an old-fashioned value, to be regarded with suspicion. Well I say, to hell with that.
What are we so afraid of, that we can’t share some warm, sentimental feelings, especially at this time of year? Sentiment doesn’t drop bombs on people or arrest negroes disproportionately. Sentiment is what makes us love our country; sentiment is why, no matter how old we get, no place will ever feel like home quite like Mom and Dad’s. And sentiment is how, for just one day of the year, everyone on Earth can join together and focus on what’s really important: Love, Joy and Family.
This is an album of original songs about just those things. I sang them with all my heart. I know that sounds ‘cheesy’ – and believe me, the music does too! But I hope you can put aside your ‘internet rage’ for a little while, and enjoy some good old-fashioned Holiday tunes. Who knows? You just might find yourself singing along.
You might even find yourself smiling. :)
All the best,

Let’s pretend that I released an album, with singles and everything. That would be a fun thing to pretend.

Happy Birthday Shawn (2005)

- Birthday Dirge (for Shawn)
- Red Panda! Red Panda!
After not so much ‘making a splash’ as ‘leaving a slight stain’ on the scene with his 199x track ‘Birdhouse on the Dole’, DJ Unlikely Career Choice defied critics, audiences and himself by disappearing from view before anyone had even noticed him. At last he returns with this only moderately intolerable single, ‘written’ and recorded in celebration of his friend Shawn’s 25th birthday. ‘Birthday Dirge’ redefines cacophony with its discordant bleeping, abrasive samples and headache-inducing repetitiveness, while ‘Red Panda! Red Panda!’ is like being repeatedly jabbed in the ribs with a stick – but only for as long as it lasts. Sure to be a hit in the emerging ‘deaf and/or senile’ club scene, Happy Birthday Shawn is an essential addition to any serious coaster enthusiast’s collection.
