	<title>helmet by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ As you stood there with your helmet off, I remembered getting hit with frozen tennis balls (because they always forced me to play goal.)

kind of a song about being scared...of a violent helmetted guy.
really a demo, but when i tried to do it 'for real' it sucked.  so i like this one despite the faults.]]></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>

	<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>

	<title>Giant Flag by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ A demo from about six years ago.  In Canada, the norm is that we don't tend toward the big rah-rah kind of Patriotism that our neighbours to the south are prone to.  Ours is a polite, reserved, (Canadian), skeptical patriotism.  <small>There's an F-word in this one, if that sort of thing worries you.</small>]]></description>

	<title>19 by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ A jokey, sloppy kind of thing recorded in 2005 for a web project that never got off the ground.  As in many of my songs, I seem to be suffering from some type of sinus issue here.  Perhaps the flipside of <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/user/19848">buriednexttoyou</a>'s awesome <a href="http://music.metafilter.com/251/Arboretum-Anthem-of-my-19th-Year">Arboretum</a> from last year, this song tries to be positive about the milestones, the things you <i>can</i> do once nineteen, in Ontario, Canada.  Yes, I know the Paul Hardcastle tune.  <small><small>why am I posting this?</small></small>]]></description>

	<title>We&apos;re Moving by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ We are moving in 2 weeks and a while ago we &quot;fluffed&quot; our house to make it look pretty so we could sell it and that entailed removing any trace of human habitation.  As a result, all our stuff has been packed away for weeks and I've been going insane in our neatly arranged, showy house in which no one could possibly live a normal life.  ]]></description>

	<title>Don&apos;t Worry &apos;Bout It by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ This is about the dumbest piece of dumbness ever.  I was goofing around on my 7 and 9 year old daughters' keyboard and noticed the &quot;Clav&quot; setting.  Ha!  I discovered that if I put it through the Crybaby Wah pedal and then through the tube amp that it actually DIDN'T SOUND AT ALL like <i>Songs in the Key of Life</i>-era Stevie Wonder.  Instead it sounded like me acting stupid and then I sang some high-assed background vocals like a fucking idiot and did my whitest ever white-guy impersonation at the beginning.
But it makes me laugh and it's my kids' favourite, go figure.]]></description>

	<title>Room at the End of the Hall by chococat</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ I had this vague melody a year or so ago, and at the time it was starting to become a song about riding my bike at night, drunk.  I stuck it on the backburner until after I saw that Johnny Cash bio-pic, where they sing that June Carter duet &quot;Time's a Wastin'&quot; together, (which they never did in real life.)  So then I got this idea to write a nice country duet like that, but instead of it being all happy and fresh-new-relationship-let's-consummate-it kinda thing, I wanted it to be about people that hated each other intensely.  People that were sick and tired of seeing each other everyday for years and years.  Then, for an added twist, I forced my lovely wife to sing the harmony part.  We actually do like each other, though.]]></description>
