I've decided to make lo-fi recordings of old songs I wrote in my 20s and early 30s. Many of these songs are between 15 and 20 years old and have not been preformed since they were written.

Blah blah blah by Meatbomb

Meatbomb — Sat, 31 May 2008 08:56:45 -0800

This is another children's song, and it's even better than the last one. Induces uncontrollable giggling in test audiences - for the young, and the young at heart.

Videotape (Radiohead cover) by Saellys

Saellys — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:32:55 -0800

I dunno why I'm so into a capella these days. I kicked around the idea of doing this song as a round for a while. This is just a sketch. GarageBand, built-in mic in MacBook.

LN — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:03:59 -0800

A song I wrote a couple of years ago as a tribute to my great uncle Bernard, who went down in a Halifax III during WWII. Oh hell. Just listen to the song to get the story.

Burning need. Write a song. by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 21:34:06 -0800

This isn't a particularly good song, so I recommend you don't listen if you like music. Which you do. Pay no attention to all my shitty lyrics peppering your music page, now, if you please.

I Like Hat by ageispolis

ageispolis — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 10:34:15 -0800

Acapella sample, killer synth, creepy fembot vocals. A song about hats.

Think About Your Troubles by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Sat, 26 May 2007 22:24:53 -0800

Ever since this post, I've had this song in my head. Been goofily singing it to myself pretty constantly. So I decided to just record it a capella for no reason whatsoever. It's not jazz (slightly bluesy in spots though) & of course it's not as good as Nillson's but I figure maybe I've gotten it out of my system now. I mean, how often does a girl get to record herself singing about decomposing whales? ;)

Coffee Time! (a capella) by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 13:16:18 -0800

This song was originally written in 1945 by Lennie Hayton for the soundtrack of the Minnelli/Astaire MGM musical Yolanda & the Thief. Since I just started drinking my beloved morning latte again after giving it up for 2-3 months, it felt appropriate to do a little joyful a capella singing to the world for no real reason whatsoever. Oh, if only I could set up a 5 piece band in my office... sigh.

... a song for persona non grata by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 23:35:38 -0800

Y'know, I've dug your music. So, in commemoration of your self-linkage, I've composed a brief song. Take no offence to the last line, please. But don't self-link, goddammit. If you're still even here.
