Useless_Proverb:
Well, a few I'd love to know (And kinda have a start on) are:

Useless Proverb
Pelicans
Unicorn Battle (That riff is MASSIVE)
A lot of the stuff off Moletopopolis, like TUPAFCC (WGSAFCMtU) (Also know as the elongated The Unicorn Prince Approaches the Fire Centaur Clan (With A Gift of Smoldering Ash From The Crater of Mount Unimpous))
Quantum Unicorn Horns of Diamond
What Where When
Goodness Shall Prevail

jeph:
Useless Proverb is pretty simple but I'd have to re-learn most of it.

I still know Pelicans all the way through, it is tied for my favorite thing I've ever written (the other is Unicorn Waltz).

Unicorn Battle is ridiculously simple, I wrote the main riff as a joke (and yet tons of people love it, I guess it is my tiny equivalent of "Sweet Child o Mine")

TUPAFCC is also really simple, but I used a couple weird dissonant Opeth chords in the end section that I'd need to figure out again, that was the song where I started taking writing Deathmøle stuff "seriously" and tried to challenge myself a little

Quantum Unicorn Horns is another one I know all the way through because I love the really fast riff that kicks in after the breakdown.

I really need to re-record What Where When, the guitar tone on that one is AWFUL and I couldn't quite tremolo-pick fast enough for that song at the time.

Goodness Shall Prevail is pretty simple but it's such a wash of big chords I'd have to re-learn it.

Is there a quick and easy way to write guitar tabs? Editing ASCII tabs is such a huge pain in the ass I'll probably never do it.

Dr Sasquatchula:
Hmm... the only way that I can think of that would be quicker and easier than ASCII is to write them out.  You have a tablet, so you could tab them out in Photoshop.  That's all I got.

I also have another question for you, Jeph.  I noticed that you (quite obviously) started QC with indie rock influences.  I've also noticed that you seem to be citing a lot of metal-type music, in news, Deathmole and what-have-you.  Kudos to Kylesa in the RL by the way.  Have you always appreciated metal, or is this more of a recent trend?

jeph:
It's a more recent thing, I think the first modern metal bands I really got into were Opeth and Isis and I just expanded from there. Also I care less and less about indie rock as it gets more and more gimmicky and inane. Which isn't to say there aren't plenty of indie bands doing great stuff right now (there are), but that it makes up an increasingly small portion of my overall listening palette.

NotAFanOfFenders:
Opeth was my first too..
