The Monads

    Back when I was an undergraduate at WWU, I was in a 'philosophy band' called the Monads.  I played a little guitar and did a good chunk of the singing.  The other Monads were Shawn Larsen-Bright, who graduated from the NYU law school and is now a successful lawyer, and Justin Klocksiem, who got his Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Justin is now a professor at the University of Alabama. Shawn and I cowrote all the songs.  Justin contributed some guitar licks, e.g., the guitar solo in "The Missing Shade of Blues."   These songs are wholly original; they are not "Weird Al" versions of other people's songs.  I still think that some of the songs are pretty cool, which shows that I am either vain or a big nerd. Anyways, the music is currently hosted by Kevin Klement here. Just scroll down.

The 21^st Century Monads

Recently, I decided that it was time that I instantiate some Monadic properties once more. To this end, I formed a band with Carrie Jenkins and my colleague Ben Bradley. We are the 21^st Century Monads. We just finished our first album of songs, The New Monadology. You can listen to the whole album here.
