Red Head Diaries - Dear Diary (1998)
The old moniker. I used to go as Red Head Diaries. I'm not red headed, but all the girls I liked for some reason, were. I recorded this album on a broken 4 track with my old friend brent myers. I was home in VA, skipping a semester of school. This album was not well accepted even among friends. Probably because it wasn't that good. In fact some of the songs just sucked. But there are some on there that I really like.

Red Head Diaries - Dyed Black (1999)
And like that my song writing skills improved. Some of these songs would end up on 333. The ones that do, are not listed here. Originally this album had 22 songs. These are the ones that I could find the original masters on. Think Elliott Smith self-titled blue album, but not as good.

Birthday Songs (1999)
These are my favorite songs that I have ever written. If there's an album I listen to a lot, it's this one. Songs about a breakup, and meeting my future wife, so a special time. It's labeled Birthday Songs, because the only person who got this album was my then bestest friend Sarah Fishler (who is now Sarah Fishler Rice) on her birthday. But now you can listen to them too.

333 (1999)
I hate this album. But you'll love it. It was everyone's favorite album, and my least favorite. Only because it always over shadowed all past and future albums. Kory Ross produced the album for most of the songs, and some were recorded with a 4 track at my house by me. Jeremy Rice plays drums on 435. It's my only album with professional production, which Kory did a kick ass job on.

So She'll Love Me More (2000)
All the songs that I wrote while I was recording 333. Back then, I couldn't stop writing songs. Has a few classics on it. One being Packaged Perfect which I don't think I ever played a show where that song wasn't requested. Specifically by Casey Lesueur. All of these songs, 100% of them were about Meghan who I was dating via telephone...we didn't have cell phones back then. And if you did, you were an idiot.

The Winter (2000)
The long winter of 2000, I made this album called, well the winter. I loved this album and hated it. At the time I thought this was my best collection. Meghan was mad I was recording all the time, and no one else really accepted the album the way I wanted them too. Because I knew it was so much better than 333. No one else thought so. But since this is my website, I can say that you were all wrong.

This Week Feels Hopeless, Next Week Has No Expectations (2000)
Recorded this album while living with Jeremy. This album was written and recorded in order. Or, the song order is the order in which the songs were written. I wrote a song a day, and recorded it. Then spent the next months producing it. It is my most heavily produced album. At one point I know I used a full 16 tracks at once. It was really fun. I felt it was my best album at the time, because I spent so much time with production, annoying Jeremy with drums at 4 am, and trying to sound like Kid A as much as humanly possible. Once again, no one else really liked it. Mark Carruth, who I will always consider one of my greatest fans, and friends, really liked some of these songs. Bryan liked a couple too. That made me really happy.

Frustration (2002)
This album was called Frustration, because up until that time I used to just pump out songs like crazy, but as you can tell there was more than a year gap without an album. That annoyed me. But dating meghan, working, and school took up all the time I had. I guess that was the frustrating part. Once again the only happy part about this album was how much Mark Carruth liked it. I think Bryan thought it was ok. It was much more relaxed than most albums of mine. That seems to be a theme of mine. For one reason or another, I cared more about what they thought than anyone else. Other than Jeremy. I always wanted Jeremy to like my albums the most, but Jeremy is too true to music, so there was never convincing him that it was any better than it really was. There's no anxiety in the songs. I think you will particularly like Rolling Hills. I think it is the best song I have ever written.

From Me or I From Her (2003/2004)
This was my favorite album to write. Meghan and I got married in 2002. And I got a real job / career. Most of these songs are about one or the other. I hated having a career, and working a real job. That's where all the sad songs come from. But a few are happy. This was a really long album. At first a 2 disc 16 song beast (beast because a lot of the songs are long long long). But I narrowed it down, cut a few off, and made one album out of it. No one really got this album. I gave it to a few people, but I didn't really want anyone to have it. I already went through all that crap before. Wondering if people would really like, if people could just forget about that stupid fing 333 album, and if people could accept me as a good songwriter. All of these reasons, and the uncertainty, and anxiety associated with it, I decided this would be my final public album and that putting myself out there wasn't worth what I was getting back. The last song I wrote was wirtten in 2004. It is nearly 4 years later, and I don't even know where my guitar is. I guess that's sad?
