Parts of two songs ("'Imi Au Ia 'Oe" and "Kai Wailele O 'Akaka") from Keola Beamer's 1997 album "White Mountain Journal" were in my head, though at the time I thought they belonged to the same song since I hadn't listened to the album in around seven years.

The Worst Performance Ever
genre: live performance
runtime: 08:54
The problem with most "worst [x] ever"s is that they're usually crafted to still be entertaining in some kind of hyperbolic way. In 2003, Daniel, Bryan and I spent an evening figuring out all the elements that go into a truly awkward, obnoxious and awful stage show experience. Then we went and did it at the Neutral Ground Coffeehouse's open microphone night, breaking a spoon and shattering their tambourine in the process. We recorded it. Four years later I drew some really bad pictures to make this video you're either about to watch, or are about to close and forget you ever saw it. In any case, this is really bad.
