New song, recorded entirely in GarageBand. The more astute of you will be able to tell, I'm sure.

Dear Prudence.

Holy crap.

Edit: I'm really blown away by how easy this was. I did the whole thing start to finish in about an hour. Half of that hour was "how do I do ... oh". This is ( Read more... )
