My "cute cat vid" contribution!

HI!!!! Just moved to a new place as I've said a bunch recently. It's been crazy and a lot of work but it's finally coming together. I'm in the process of trying to kinda acoustically treat my office (with little to no budget), so I haven't been able to work on things yet.

However, I've been saving this video for a "rainy day," a condition I've declared for TODAY!

My former roommates' (and my close friends') cat, Norah, always enjoyed being flipped, pestering me every time I came upstairs...

FINGER FAMILY SONG

This past week I've been moving to a new place. As a result, my brain's not been what it usually is and I've been slacking/a little uninspired. Have been working on a song about a certain MEME website (wink wink wink), and while it's coming along great, it's coming along SLOWLY.

I saw one of these FINGER FAMILY videos the other night for the first time and well, I was kinda shocked by how weird it was. Super bizarre subculture of YouTube. Thousands of gibberish comments. Reused songs. Unlicens...

Pokémon Go (Poké Don't Stop)

ANOTHER ONE FOR YA! Attempted once again to be relevant while still maintaining that sleek Hot Dad flavor you've come to know and love. ;)

Similar to my BERNIE SANDERS track, I took a topic I didn't necessarily want to do a song about (I really don't have any problem with the game; but I'm also not interested in it), and instead of making a post that says, "Hey, I don't know if I wanna do a song about that," I made that discussion the basis of the song. 2016-07-25 14:52:30 +0000 UTC View Post

GAMBLING FOR KIDS

HEY EVERYONE!

If you haven't seen this already, here it is. I've been experimenting with the whole "keep up with relevant topics in internet news and write songs about them" thing, and it's been working pretty nicely so far. I got a little stressed last night when I discovered that Valve had announced they were gonna fix the issue(s) this song addresses, but I decided to push forward with it anyway and I'm very glad I did.

(Plus, I think Peter's vid is excellent, especially since...

RIO 2016 OLYMPICS ANTHEM!

hey everyone! the olympics in rio are coming up fast and things aren't looking so hot. 

in an attempt to be moderately "relevant" and "timely," i made a song about it! i love brazil—i visited there last year. i love COAXINHAS! but it's kind of a "shitshow" right now and i hope things work out as best as they can for everyone.

so yeah, here's my song! peter made a much better video than the one i would have made, so THANKS AS ALWAYS, PETER!

love you all, and thank...

BIG MONEY SALVIA

Got to collaborate with one of my top new internet pals, Internet Comment Etiquette's estimable ERIK.

Made this a few months ago and I've been eagerly awaiting the day when everything would come together and I'd get to share this hot-ass track. THAT DAY IS HERE! GO FORWARD AND WILDLY CLICK, PLZ!

On top of the song, Erik plugged the living h*ck out of me in his newest episode, an episode you s...

UNDERTALE!

Hey, y'all! Hope your 4th of July weekend was REAL NICE. Been sitting on this for a couple of weeks now, waiting for the ideal time to release it (that was tough, too). Well, that ideal time was today, RIGHT NOW.

I have actually played this game and I think it's brilliant and a masterpiece and wonderful and all that jazz. So when people started saying I should make video game songs, it was one of the first that popped into my mind. It's got an incredible score and sense of hu...

Tim Heidecker

A tribute/PPL song/whatever to one of my greatest comedy influences. I hope you dig this as much as I do! Peter made an awesome, weird video too that I'm real grateful for as well. Terrific all around.

When I make shorter stuff, I feel like the window in which I'm actually interested in adding polish is very small (i.e. "make the damn content and keep moving, erik!"). But with these full length songs, I generally allow them to simmer a bit, which is precisely what I did with this one. And ...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

A special surprise for all the dads out there from this dad, Uncle E.

LOVE YA!

R.I.P. Meme!!!!!!!!

In my other post, I mentioned that I was doing a COLLAB with FRANKJAVCEE. Well, HERE IT IS!

I made the song, but he made the amazin' trap beat and the top-notch rap and did some HOT backing vox in the last chorus. I've never really collaborated like this (plus, I have no idea how to make good trap beats), so I'm super stoked about the TOP NOTCH QUALITY.

 He's a big channel (130k+ subs), which means this is something I'm especially grateful for/proud of. It's already driven o...

WEB LOVE! #weblove

Wow, so proud to finally unveil this for y'all! Peter made this video into magic. This was the last track on my WEBS EP from last year and I kinda figured no one was ever gonna hear it unless a video was made.

So he had me shoot some "full body" footage in front of the green screen and he did his thing. And then I recently befriended an awesome guy called FRANKJAVCEE who said he'd be up to doing a colla...

THE STAR WARS

Hey, y'all! I haven't posted anything this week. WHY THE HECK IS THAT?

I started way too many things recently. They're all really good and so I've had trouble finishing anything in particular. So whilst swimming in that sea of indecision, this came out of nowhere and Peter edited some footage for me and boom, it's really great and I'm so proud of this junk.

WOOOOO. I'm also kinda learning how to master better. We'll see though!

LOTSA STUFF COMING SOON! WEB LOVE VIDEO IS...

Jack's Films!

Okay, did a song about JACK D. I like how it turned out. I actually edited this video, too! Peter added the text, but nonetheless, I think I did a pretty good job. Just another effort in my quest for exposure/expansion. ;)

As I mentioned yesterday, some great collabs and new songs coming very soon. Plus the video for WEB LOVE is cruising along again!

HAPPY FRIDAY! <3 <3

Please Erik, Don't Make That Sketch EP 2

Okay, so I shot another one of these. I didn't include 60 comments this time, a choice that made the editing a lot more fun and manageable. It's dumb, but it's giving me a different sort of outlet and I appreciate that. :) :) :) Hope y'all enjoy it!

Also—I secured a really great collaboration that I'm super super excited to share with you! Quite possibly coming this weekend! Plus a PPL track and some other goofy stuff.

Haven't been this productive in a while, so trying to do as...

SODA DRINKER PRO!

For a long time now, people have been saying I should make a song about a video game because I'll suck up some big time hits. Initially, I thought "NO WAY, I DON'T WANNA MAKE A CALL OF DUTY RAP OR WHATEVER." 

And then I remembered that quirky indie games do exist, and they're more my style. So I made this and I hope you enjoy it!

THANKS FOR BEIN' COOL (STILL)!

Foo Fighters - Everlong (Snare Drum Cover)

Now here's another dumb idea I had a couple of years ago, but never bothered to shoot until now. The idea of an "isolated instrument cover" is very stupid, and hopefully funny. Could be extended to other instruments as well, but not sure if it'll be me who does that.

Anyway, I'M GLAD I DID IT! 

Hope you're having a great Friday!!!

<3 <3 <3

As promised, ROMAN REIGNS!

Had some big fun with this. Worked hard on the video editing and I think I did a decent job.

Hope you enjoy it! Have never really done children's music before. :)

"Macho Man"

Hey, y'all! Did another WRESTLE hit.  Had some fun again. I think the track is pretty great, too. Found a comfortable place to stop instead of overdubbing myself onto the moon.

Hope you have some fun!

<3 <3 <3 <3

No Sex, No Laid!

3 years in the sorta making! I wrote this ages ago and never wanted to release it until I had a cool vid. Thanks to Pete B, I have a cool vid!

I think this may be the catchiest thing I've ever released. I hope it'll go viral AND virile (from saving up all that testosterone).  I also wrote two other anti-sex raps around the same time. They're even weirder than this one. I'm excited!

Love y'all and I hope you enjoy the heck out of this weirdness! Shooting some Marco Rub...

I'm so excited about this that it HURTS!

TED CRUZ! let's CRUZ, baby! if you ever wondered if my new video editor (PETE B) ROCKED, well, HERE'S MORE PROOF (that he rocks).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

post anywhere! post in all places! it's the last presidential theme song, and i'm so proud to present it!

also big thanks to the wonderful CARSON CHILDERS for doing a live bass rendition of my silly keyboard thing!

XOXOXOXOX

HILLARY CLINTON!

Here it is! I think it was well worth the wait. I hope you think it was, too. :)

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

BERNIE SANDERS!

Here it is! The very first video done by the wonderful Peter Bjorndal (who offered his editing services to me via Facebook). I'm thrilled with it!

I think the song is poignant without being tacky, and that's important to me. I honestly don't like blending politics and music (unless I'm just joking/trolling), so I tried to make it something that represented my hesitance about doing such a thing for a candidate I actually respect, while also showing some him some respect.

GIVE IT A...

Hi! Update!

So, hi and thanks as usual! Wanted to let you know that I've recently acquired a video editor to help me with some of these projects. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT. V V excited about this.

Good news: Vids are gonna get better and I'll be able to spend more time composing.

Bad news: Might take a little longer for things to "come off the the line." But we'll see!

My Bernie Sanders song is also done as heck and the video should be done by next week (maybe early).

I'm also ...

JEB BUSH!

Hey, y'all! Comin' atcha with some of my (imho) best work to date, if not the very best. IDK, you decide!

Hope you're all having a great day, and stay safe if you're in the blizzard zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

xoxoxoxo

NEW VIDEO - "MCDONALD'S (IS THE PLACE)"

Sorry this took so stinking long. YEEEOUCH. Gave this one some extra love and care. My boy ANDREW MAURY mastered it for me. It's slick, it's polished, it's weird, you're gonna love it.

HOPE YOU ENJOY! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Also, as a P.S., I found somebody who is gonna help me with some of the video editing duties!!!!! That being said, I'm going to take the next little bit of time to work on re-mixing and remastering my ZONGS album (a.k.a. the HOT DAD SONGS playlist on my YouTube...

BRIEF UPDATE

http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/2016/01/07/jan-1-7-secret-supercars-seinfelds-rye-and-an-office-booze-cruise/

Hi & NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I made a theme song for a new podcast which is linked above. Some of you supporters already know about it. FOR THE REST OF YOU, THERE IT IS! It's a fun-ass song and I'm really proud of it.

So yeah...

Two Shits, One Fuck

Hey, everyone! I spent a ton of time on this, and I think the end result is pretty wacky and fun. Basically, I really got into Vic Berger's video editing style last week (check him out if you haven't already!), so I ended up inspired to try something new. And I did the greenscreened heads last week, so this is kind of a continuation of that idea.

So yeah, I chopped up some shitty movies and put them over my very stupid song. I really hope the song and video inspires you!

HAPPY DA...

I Just Wanted Team to Win

Super, super, super proud to be sharing this with y'all. I think it's one of the best/wackiest things I've ever made and the video concept turned out hella fun too. Put your hand up and CHANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT til the bad dreams go away.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT. BIG TIME.

Plz assault the 'net with this sports junk. I'll be doing it too. :)

Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers!

You voted for this, and so here it is.

It's basically TMNT: Part Two musically because I always think making something both stupid AND emotional is a funnier gag than just "making it funny." Hope it tickles some of those nostalgia buttons for y'all! I had fun and I really like how it turned out.

Have fun and plz share in all the crevices and pits and holes of the internet. :)

XOXOXOXOXO

Here's Hannibal!

Y'all's top two picks in the TV theme poll were Hannibal and later, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. But Hannibal won first, so I did it first. :) 

Anyway, gonna be wrapped up with T-Givin' things this week, so this is all I'm gonna have for you. A big thanks to all of you for supporting my weird output with $$$ and I wish you the best for this HOLIDAY!

<3 <3 <3 <3
