My newest band is called New People. Go listen to the whole demo before you check out anything else here. Newly recorded songs from our album should be up here pretty soon.
Recent songwriting/screwing around: Here are some unpolished, new ('07-'08) tunes with just me and my guitar.
Love Is the Problem This is the newest one; it's been going around my head for the past weeks and was added to the band's set the day I wrote it (2-8-08).
Little
Mina This tune was begun when my daughter was a biting infant and is now (5 years later) finished and being learned by the band.
Mother's Day A depressing song from this last fall.
If I Can't Have You Me deconstructing a Bee Gees song in late January.
My band in Madison from 2001-2004 was called
Madison Lint. Here are two recordings,
with all instruments recorded live 5-03 and 12-02 respectively:

Turk.
Stop
Personnel: Me, Jim Low, Tom Broeske, Jim
Turk.
A solo tune I recently added some parts to:
I just added a bunch of vocals and a bass track to this song
whose drums and guitar were recorded back in 2000. It's about the limits of
sharing. I'm not certain this is actually done; it may get a keyboard or electric
guitar pasted over it down the road.
Request

Personnel:
Me on everything except Trent Sinclair on drums.

Recordings from Mark Lint and Stevie P. Steve
Petrinko was my co-frontman for The MayTricks, my
college band in Ann Arbor that lasted from around 1990-1994. We hook up once
a year or so to write a song together and record it on the spot. It'll take
us a while to get a full album this way, so here's your outlet:

the in progress versions of songs from this here.

the rest.
Undershirt
Here's are two live tunes from
the Mark Lint and the Fake Fall '98 demo. These were rerecorded
in pretty much this arrangement for the still-being-mixed Mark Lint and the
