So Wintersox was kind enough to send me a PM linking me to a 4-song EP of him.

- The first one is a cover Van Halen's Jump. Apparently unable to sing while playing the keyboard, or doing multirtrack recording, W. alternates between the two.
- The 2d track is a cappella cover of Ruby Tuesday, which is obviously quite a challenge with someone with such a poor singing voice. Clerverly enough, W. actually sing all the lyrics, except the words 'Ruby Tuesday'. Nice touch. When I first played that track, I actually had it playing on two different players but not in synch. Although the result was not fully convincing, it sounded somewhat creative and adventurous. My bad.
- The track is apparently an original called We He Hee; the title is also most of the lyrics. W. is sporadically snapping his fingers trying to trick us into believing he has a clue about rhythm. The 'shaman' bit, is actually scary. Is this a tribute to or a satire of Michael Jackson, I can't say, but it fits with pictures where W. pictured himself with pics of MJ. Why would anyone listen to this willingly is beyond me.
- The 4th is also an original, as far as I can tell. Cheesy lyrics, dodgy metrics, poor vocals & no music. Thankfully it's only 42 s.
