Sobering Up (2009) by armoured-ant

armoured-ant — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 09:24:35 -0800

About three and a half years ago, I uploaded the eleventh song on Mefi Music. This autumn, I finally got my arse in a real studio, and did it properly.

Cover of the Verlaines.

in an aisle seat by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:06:12 -0800

Greasy rock song about falling asleep in passenger seats. I could use some help with this. Ok, this is my first attempt at recording with real drums. While I'm happy to finally post something featuring my insanely talented little brother, Mike, I'm sorry to say that the drum recording I started out with was awful and I'm not sure I've made it any better. If anyone has some insight as to what can be fixed and how, or some tips on cheap/lo-fi/hopelessly inept home drum recording, I'd love to hear them.

The Ballad of Cherry Hill by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:01:45 -0800

This is the lead-off track from the forthcoming EP, Labyrinths, by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 1/7/10. It's a wistful slice of indie-pop about insomnia, suburban isolation, and the boredom of hometowns.

Broken Wheel (skelp version) by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:37:44 -0800

Having used my current DAW for the last 3 years, and spending countless hours re-recording tracks that were too slow, I finally discover that it does have a varispeed function. Just how fucking dumb is that.......?

Halloween 97/98 by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:03:36 -0800

Little ditty about young love, the joys of suburban Massachusetts in autumn, and the allure of all those wonderful things behind the counter at drugstores.

Another newie from my band Bring A Guillotine, electro-ish intro, then roccckk! Enjoy!

Starless And Bible Black by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:09:55 -0800

For the sake of completeness, if "Medicine Man" had been an A-side this - a natural companion piece in mood and texture - would have been the flipside. Obviously on an impeccably cool label (Elektra, Sire, Stiff, Island pre-sell off). Well.....I can dream...

Medicine Man (Alpaca Room mix) by uncleozzy

Half remix, half mix rescue; I took a crack at MajorDundee's Medicine Man.

Rendezvous by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:33:50 -0800

A wrinkled roue ruminates rudely..... Special, exclusive, once-and-for-all, never-to-be-repeated (thankfully, some may say) vinyl-only MeFiMu magimix. Hope y'all like it.

Once It Was The Colour Of Saying (Work In Progress) by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:32:12 -0800

This is incomplete and very current WIP from my glacial synth-based alter ego and is perhaps something of a companion piece to White Feather. I'd really appreciate opinions on (a) the pretty drastic transitions in the piece from the rhythmic to the quasi-orchestral and back again, (b) whether the lyric theme has any kind of cheddar whiff, and (c) whether it needs more "oomph" under the orchestral bits (actually difficult to pull off without destroying the mood - I've tried....). Any other comments welcome of course - but this is unfinished and well rough so....geeza break.

snake (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:06:39 -0800

Another entry in my recent demo series of posts. I posted a not-quite-done version of the track here, featuring piano and overly heavy drums. It's a song about the old classic video game "Snake". I'm sure I'll revisit the "proper" recording some day, but in the meantime, this is a nice performance.

Workshy by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:31:56 -0800

An abstract and impressionistic take on the wonderful world of work. Or something like that. Whatever. Listening to it afresh from the distance of several years, I've no idea what the fuck I'm banging on about here. I was probably stoned out of my box at the time. Disgarceful behaviour for a doctor - tsk tsk. Another extract from the extensive but wholly disreputable Dundee Archive. NB: this product contains faint traces of jazz-lite.....

Madeleine by TheWaves

TheWaves — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:44:09 -0800

A new song called 'Madeleine' from my new band, features piano, strings and bouncy guitars! Wheeee.

Locate the Pin by gergtreble

gergtreble — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 06:47:28 -0800

From the band that brought you "Bridges over the Thames" and "The world's most blown mind", The Old Whores Of San Pedro proudly present. Locate the pin, a song inspired by a fire extinguisher.

When Harry Was Sally.... by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:08:46 -0800

I can usually get a presentable mix without too much hassle, but this one beats the hell out of me. Sounds good in headphones, complete shit on monitors and even worse in the car. Advice?

do you ever by edlundart

edlundart — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:46:38 -0800

This track switches between three time signatures, and features an intro with a style of singing I guess one could call very vaguely eastern. It's a slow and gentle affair with softly distorted ebowed guitar, piano, and xylophone. It also includes a guitar solo in which a single note is played repeatedly. And lyrics that are pretty silly.

Hidden by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:10:11 -0800

Very little idea what this is really about....but it sounds like something written by a slightly loopy obsessive. That'll be me then....

The World's Most Blown Mind by gergtreble

gergtreble — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:29:54 -0800

Another track from The Old Whores Of San Pedro.

Bridges Over The Thames by gergtreble

This is my first contribution to MeFiMu, so go easy on me!

Henrietta Park by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:04:02 -0800

Final upload from my pile of rejects - ok, the other two weren't exactly the dog's bollocks (which is why they were jettisoned - duh), but this one..........hell, even I like this...

Lullaby For A Spin Doctor by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:19:29 -0800

#2 in a short series of 3 "rediscovered" tracks from my pile of untitled cds - which were heading for the bin until I decided I'd better check them out first. Again, about 5 or 6 years old (at a guess) this one's pretty off-centre.....

Counsellors Don't Lie by lhude sing cuccu

lhude sing cuccu — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:06:07 -0800

The trials of trying to get prescription medicine through counsellors.

Sundowner by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:43:31 -0800

Recorded 5 years ago. Frankly, a bit of a mess. Lyric is vaguely about relationship breakdown, but is "stream of consciousness" i.e. bollocks. But......something there? Worth re-recording/working on? I dunno. You might tell me.

Ill Met By Moonlight (Medicine Man) by MajorDundee

A small libation from The Gin Palace*
