Pluto
I wrote this song in response to Pluto not being a planet anymore. I had the music written for awhile and wasn't able to come up with any sort of descent lyrics. One day I was recording the music on my four track in hopes of coming up with something and picked up the …

2,000 Zombies
In 2001 or so I wrote a song called 1,000's of zombies. I recorded it with my first band Usagi Kamikaze and it was on our four track album "Polybius". When my best friend Nathan heard it he suggested I do more zombie songs and increase the number every time. The idea …

Punk Rock
I wrote this song about our bass player Pete. As far as I know he does wear socks when he wears shoes but he is very punk rock. I don't remember much about the recording, I think this is several years old. I do remember a friend of Pete's coming over to jam with us a …

Stars
This is one my more serious songs. It's about the week my dad died. I think most artists try to capture important events in their life through whatever their choice of medium is and I've never felt very successful at creating serious comics so I wrote a song about it. …

Tako
This is one of our "jam" songs I guess. It is about one of my many cats. If you read my comic Kitty Litter you've already met Sophie and heard a song about her here. Well Tako is one of the other inspirations for her. Every stupid thing Sophie has ever said is pure …

Killbot 5,000.000
So far this is the newest song I've put up on the internet. The drawing above was the inspiration for the song. I drew it for a never before seen comic strip and I believe I meant for the title to be Killbot 5,000,000 but I'm a bad typer and so this song was born. This …

Tentacles
Anyone who has read my comics knows that I kind of have a thing for tentacles. I wrote a whole story called Tentacles for Kitty Litter , a lot of my monster have them like the one in the story I'm doing now and thouroughly just love to draw them. Almost as much as …

Kung Fu Robot vs. Sophie the Cat
This is a fairly old song that I decided to record earlier this year while bored one day. I really like the way it turned out. It has it's raw spots a few vocals I'd like to redo little stuff like that but overall I'm happy with it. I really like the trippy guitar …

I'll Invite You (to the future)
Not quite a whole week of waiting for a new song but I was a little late last week so I thought what the hell, I'll throw one up. This is also the first song Pete has been on since we started the whole song-a-week thing and not only that but he's got two bass parts in …

Night Elf Mage
I'd really like to clean this song up a bit. It's more of a demo. But I'm really proud of my base line and I was able to get the soul ballad feel I was looking for. Which is kind of a first. I never really get the sound I'm looking for. The song of course is about …

My Ninja
I've been trying to write this song for years. I was just trying to find the right chords...turns out it's g and c. Right in front of my face the whole time. Lee played drums on this one and I played guitar, bass and sang. Pete was out of town. One thing I love …

If you're one of the few people who have checked out this page before you may have noticed that there have been some changes. The big one is that the Kisaragi album has dissapeared and Song-a-Week has now appeared. This will be the main page for the Modrats and it …
