After School Special is a collection of musical ephemera from the early- to mid-2000s, recorded by me and my friends; notably my girlfriend (now wife) Sumana Harihareswara, Adam Kaplan, and Kristofer Straub. It includes passionately worked songs, painstakingly written songs recorded under primitive conditions, and crappy improvised songs that happened to make it into an MP3 file.
For mass downloads, see MP3 and OGG directories.
Quick note on cover art. Front cover is a painting I did in high school, based on a random shape from my sketchbook. Back cover is the traditional musician's embarrassing photo of himself when he was a kid.
Sumana made a music video for this song.
Funny story about the last two lines. Adam wrote them in the text editor while Kris and I were away, and then tried to convince us that someone else had written them. This might have worked if there were hundreds of people working on the song, and if Adam had been able to pick a scapegoat and quickly turn everyone else against the scapegoat. But Adam's ruse was quickly discovered, and to punish him Kris and I made those lines part of the actual song. They're my favorite lines in the song.
