Aswell as current demos (that may or may not be used / completed past the stage they are at) the full album Michael recorded over the summer of 2004 entitled "...is alot more important than jesus christ and the church of latter day saints..." is available to listen or download in the above music player. They are the tracks titled 1 through 10 that sound like they were made by a 19 year old boy working overnight shifts and experimenting with cheap drugs.

Enjoy!
