My new year's resolution for 2018 was "NO NEW PROJECTS". I have a difficult time finishing things I've started and because of this my hard drives are littered with unfinished songs and videos. Over the past two weeks, I've begun systematically sorting through this material, organizing it, deleting things, and finishing projects. This may not be exactly within the rules of Weekly Beats but I'd like to use it as a place to post this material. These songs may have been started years ago but were never finished, never mixed, and never shared before now.

For a short period of time, I became very interested in the idea of writing a musical. I wrote A TON of different demos that ultimately went nowhere about a very wide variety of weird topics - including the Ten Commandments, a young shark trying to live up to his father's memory, and a sci fi civil war set in the distant future. One of these demos was based on my unironic love of teen drama's like the OC, Gossip Girl, and others. My friends at the time thought this was a sufficiently weird/funny idea so I wrote about 4 or 5 very short demos and then never did anything with them. This is the first of that batch.
