	<title>Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child by barmaljova</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ I've always loved this spiritual, and I loved recording it as well.  It was a balmy evening in New York, and as I was singing, I felt as much in the center of the world as far far away....]]></description>

	<title>Pin Drop by persona non grata</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ A quick manic shuffle in D minor. This song was written around the same time as "Hole In My Mood" but a little bit later when I was in the early stages of an acute manic episode. The lyrics are quite telling (I was sort of writing it to myself). And the 13 or so different chords in the chorus and the fancy finger work should have been a warning. I ended up on a locked ward about six weeks after writing this one.]]></description>

	<title>Locked in a Garage by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ Another discarded demo that would otherwise never have seen the light of day.
It's too long, the drum machine is just a placeholder, the guitars are sloppy (DEMO!) and the lyrics are sort of goofy.
Those aren't excuses, they are reasons.  It was kind of thrown onto the scrapheap.

But why would I post it?  Because I'm addicted to this now.

This one's about a nervous breakdown.

	<title>Like Sun by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ I think this'll be my last music post for a while, until I get my shit together, as it were.  Thought I'd round it off at a nice even 10.
And, I thought it fitting to post this super-old song, ('98 or '99), which was my first attempt at &quot;multitrack hard disk recording,&quot; with one Sure SM58 mic, some crappy Mac software on an old biege G3, handclaps and a LittleTikes" toy piano.  I used what I had.
Way back when, I posted it on sites like the old mp3.com and it got some nice feedback which felt awesome and immediate and kind of weird and new.  After a while I got sort of jaded with all the online music site stuff because it was clearly becoming the &quot;So You Think You Can Dance&quot; of the Internet, at the time.  
Posting stuff recently to music.metafilter has rekindled a lot of that fun, immediate kind of vibe for me, so I thought this was a good way to complete the circle.
At the time I called this  &quot;a happy song about sad people,&quot; which I guess it is.  It was written after leaving a shitty job.  It sounds kind of corny and twee now, and the recording quality is pretty shite, but it was sincere at the time.  Cheers everyone.

In preview this seems like way too much information.  Oh well.]]></description>

It starts and finishes a bit abruptly because, on the album, each song musically runs into the next.]]></description>

	<title>5 by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ I stayed up way too late recording this song the night before my daughter's fifth birthday party last year.  When all her friends came over for the party, we had them all sing the chorus part and then each of them got to sing the lead part solo.  Then we feverishly burned a bunch of discs and each kid got a CD of their performance in their loot bag.
Neighbourhood moms are still coming up to me and singing this, which I'm intitially flattered about but then notice the look on their faces which says that they've heard it over and over and over and over...]]></description>
