Too Blue by Zebra Productions

Zebra Productions — Tue, 26 May 2009 08:34:41 -0800

"This was an improvisation, actually the second take (Blue 2, or "Too Blue"), during which I had the memory of the Monterey Jazz festival firmly planted in my head, remembering the incredible musicians and music I heard all over the fairgrounds, playing jazz, soul, and lots 'n lots of blues…" ~ Laurie Z.

Dudely muzac by BrnP84

BrnP84 — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:21:14 -0800

Apparently my last few posts have been pretty girly but that's cool, I'm comfortable with my musical sexuality. I wanted there to be no ambiguity with this one so I cranked my gitar to 11 and played it as dirty as I could.

The Pianimal: Episode 1 - Tom Waits Covers by Milkman Dan

Milkman Dan — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:55:39 -0800

Recorded live in my living room on Monday night, the debut episode of this four-song, one-take podcast is my way of making sure I DO something with the piano in the corner. Each song fits a certain theme (this episode, it's Tom Waits covers), and there are no re-takes or edits allowed. It's the Pianimal -- and it's ALIVE!

I said Id write your song by american caesar

american caesar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:22:41 -0800

Most people who write some of their stuff are inspired by the break up part of their relationships. This song is about a women I onced loved who asked me when do I get my song. After hearing other songs about past relationships. Most women inspire only one song in my lifes tails. She on the other hand has become the focus of the her that I speak of in so many songs. Only thing is she doesnt ever get to hear these songs. She has moved on and is happy with someone else. I also have moved on but Im just happy alone I guess. The beginning of the song was meant to sound some what of the begining of The End by the Doors as I remember setting the stage. I still write mostly of her to this day even though Im over her. Listen

"The music starts, the singer screams, there's feedback all to hell. I think I've played this gig before..."

The No. 26 Mine Disaster by LN

LN — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:15:18 -0800

Written by the incomparable Alistair MacGillivray (who rocks my socks), this song was written after an accident at the No. 26 Colliery in Glace Bay, NS in 1979.

Gaoth Barra na dTonn by LN

LN — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:02:58 -0800

My take on this wonderful Irish Gaelic song, which I learned from Clannad, and which was written by Diarmuid MacDiarmada. Donegaler Mefites, please don't kill me if I've mangled the pronunciation!

Mwahahaha! By request...

Bonnie Blue Eyed Nancy by LN

LN — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:18:48 -0800

Not written by me, a song I learned ages ago in Ireland. Not much is known of where it comes from, apart from having been collected from Bess Cronin 30 years ago. I learned it from Phil Callery. I love this song for its soaring melody line; you really do imagine you're standing at the top of a mountain!

Reno Dakota by revfitz

revfitz — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 12:54:39 -0800

A Magnetic Fields cover I recorded recently. I've been working on my singing for a while, and I was mostly wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to go from here in improving it? Any other feedback is also welcome, of course.

Rideau Ramble by LN

LN — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:13:04 -0800

You people are dangerous for my ego. Something a bit different now; a song in praise of my hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. This song was written for the 175th anniversary of the construction of the Rideau Canal. The tune is by a well-known local Irish musician, Frank Cassidy. This tune has a two-octave-and-a-note range, folks. Don't try this at home.

The Private's Lament by LN

LN — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:18:58 -0800

The companion piece to the Turret Gunner's Farewell. This one's about my other great uncle, who fought in WWI and lived to tell the tale. (A bit more downbeat than TGF, and a bit of creative licence taken regarding his hometown.)

VCR (Perpetual Bridge) by tmcw

tmcw — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 16:06:22 -0800

Another song on the new keyboard. Basically, the loop is four bridge ('fill') rhythms from the keyboard's analog drum kit, so I figure it's a good enough musical joke to submit it for 'bridge'. Anyway. it's kinda made up as I go (as before, live looping with my baby, and it's louder than my last one and attempts to be less sleepy. Critique welcomed, as always.

80x80 by tmcw

tmcw — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:11:50 -0800

A song that sort of reminded me of the 80s but really isn't very 80s. Again, just an idea, not a whole production. Please, any criticism or suggestions are totally welcome. Thanks!

Piano piano piano by tmcw

tmcw — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:28:26 -0800

I think this is a pretty fun riff/song. Using a piano, loop pedal, and recording on my laptop Critique the hell out of it, as usual. (And, yes, I'm technically no pianist.) Any suggestions about how to 'flesh it out' would be welcome, too!

Bass by tmcw

tmcw — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 10:04:27 -0800

This is sort of the summer culmination of a song that me and some of my friends have built up. This version is solo (all of the extra 'tracks' are live loops) Oh, and critique the hell out of it!

You Promised There Would Be Girls [demo] by goodnewsfortheinsane

goodnewsfortheinsane — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 17:19:20 -0800

I wrote and recorded this today - it's basically a stream-of-consciousness account of one of the stranger and more entertaining parties I've attended.
