Blogmatrix appears to be going down forever at the end of the month, so I'm relocating the IHOD podcast. The new podcast will be at danwarren.blogspot.com, and I've already put up the first post - a full length version of I'm Gonna Go Teabag Your Cat.  I'm going to try to get iTunes to update their URL now, wish me luck.

There's no easy way to move the old posts over, which is great because now I can repost the same old crap and it will be NEW CONTENT!

This song was originally performed by my old band, The PLO.  It's on The Scientist now as a solo endeavor, but it's a damn shame that the old version was never recorded.

It's one of the first things I've recorded that has a substantial clarinet part to it.  I'm still learning, but man that's a great instrument.

Here's another from Departures.  I swear to crap it will be out soon, it's really just a matter of waiting for the artwork now.

Another one for the Music For People with ADD collab.

Another one from Departures.

Here's another one from The Scientist.  This one is about life as an organism that only breeds once and then dies.

Okay, I've now mixed three songs in five years for this album.  At this rate, we'll be having a combination record release/retirement party.

Here's a new one from my upcoming album "Departures".  It's a highly bizarre song for me - a straight up, not at all ironic, country tearjerker.

Here's another one from The Scientist.  This is actually me covering an old Love Button song.  The Scientist will be out soon - cover art is now done, and I'm basically just waiting on a test pressing, and then there will be a few days before CDBaby gets it in the system to sell.  I expect to release it within a couple of weeks, though!

You know, sometimes you just gotta.

Another thirty second song.  This one is an ode to my new temporary crown.

Here's a super-fast little thing I whipped out for a thirty second song contest.  No rules, except that the song has to be at or under thirty seconds.  This is thirty on the nose.

The title track off my new album.  The album tells the story of a scientist who is depressed and escapes into a series of scientific fantasies, gradually losing touch with reality.  Sort of a Pink Floyd's The Wall for the pocket protector set.  Not autobiographical.

Here's a little instrumental bit I did for a student who's working on a spy film and asked me for a bit of music.  It's still rough around the edges, but I like it.

My friend EBA of the Shapeless Mass Podcast (podcast.shapelessmass.com) decided to go crazy on one of my old electronic songs.  We keep meaning to do a collaborative thing, but have just never gotten around to it.  Someday...

This past weekend I had a bluegrass band from Davis called Chicken Tractor over to the house to record.  They are excellent musicians, and a good time was had by all.  It was my first experience recording in the style of a lot of old-timey bands, where you basically set up just a couple of mics and the musicians control the mix by their proximity to the mics - a mix that they can't actually hear while they're playing.  It requires a great deal of skill, but they are easily up to the task.

So anyway, without further adieu...

This is a song I started work on a long time ago and just finished up today.  It doesn't fit well with any of the 4(!) album concepts I've got sitting in my head at the moment, so it's just going to be standing on its own for a while.

YET ANOTHER from the ML Delicate Arrangement contest.  I'll do something new one of these days, I promise.

Yet another from the Delicate Arrangement contest.

Yet another from the Delicate Arrangement contest, here's my arrangement of Picnic ov Love's song "Creepy Crawlers".   I went for a Mr. Bungle sort of interpretation, which was a ton of fun to do.
