One of the nearly-finished songs for my almost-done RPM 07 album. Navelgazing lyrics, lush instrumentation.

An ode to some of the more vibrant personas and memorable events in Metafilter history -- and an homage to the classic tune by The Nails. Lyrics with tremendous amounts of annotation inside.

A rough structural demo of one of the songs I've written this month.
Catchy, upbeat reflection on the simpler, softer times of my highschool
musical upbringing. Imagine this with a dozen people clapping and
singing along. And maybe an awesome guitar solo. I've still got three
weeks, after all.

Let's call it EMOldtimey. Or, really, let's not. It's not a damned clean rendition, but with this old heartbreaker you don't have to be. My pre-verbal niece was purported to love it, and that's good enough for me.

Absolutely ridiculous synth-and-spoken-word composition I recorded to
cut my teeth on Reason.

Running with the unofficial Christmas Comes Early themea one-off
from 2004, perfect for a mythical antichristmas album.

The nice thing about a musical website like AT is that when you apologize for a lame failure to update, you can do it in song.

A lofi, live, solo acoustic cover of the fantastic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot track, recorded a few years back. Music has been way too slow the last couple days, dammit.

Heavily manipulated wall of vocal harmony, runover, stabbed, and buried in a shallow grave.

I, too, recorded this song! It came out a little bit weird, which is probably appropriate.

"Please stop the asshattery, love jessamyn"
Now there's a song that should be on MeFi Music.

Creepy, moody synthballad about geopolitical nuclear politics, circa March 2006.

Pithy titles and me: not talking right now. A catchy little pop tune about domestic surveilance.

By god, it's a bluegrass song! Thought of it because of this superlative Williams interpretation.

Guitar instrumental from several years ago—improvised riff on Dr. Who, a theme from Final Fantasy 1 for the NES, and Pink Floyd's "One of these Days".

An acoustic rough draft—the first thing I recorded after I bought my first condesor mic. Pretty, improvised.

Fresh this evening. No good news today, for tomorrow's issue of The Aural Times. Because the news sucks lately.

A short, pretty, desperate conversation about need and rejection. Plus arpeggios!

Singing and guitar and clapping and beerbottle flute and self-reflection. I posted this to the old music.metafilter.com back in 2003.

Cover of a gorgeous Wilco song. This is an extremely spartan interpretation. You may need to turn your volume up.

A little groove thing about the H5N1-positive German cat from awhile back. Beats via Sheep Beats; newsclips via Google Video; questionable vocals via my larynx.

My little brother turned 23 this year, and I'm a cheapskate. Solution: record a song! Can be used for people named "Alice" and also in a pinch "Alan".
