askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:22:16 -0800

It's amazing what you can throw together in about 4 hours with nothing but a Rock Band mic, 8 of yourself, and a pair of Stylophones.

miss lynnster — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 12:13:57 -0800

I was inspired to do this quick a capella interpretation of The Clash after reading Ironmouth's opinions on how singers aren't creative since all they're capable of is mimicking things that geniuses wrote.

chara — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:58:49 -0800

Tomas Luis de Victoria's version of O Magnum Mysterium was my favorite Christmas song back in the days of high school choir. Here is my own lo-fi rendition.

Say It (Over and Over Again) by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 06:21:36 -0800

I'm a big fan of Frank Loesser's lyrics and Jimmy McHugh's melodies, so I decided to add a few to my repertoire. When I'm learning new songs, I record myself a capella to see how my voicings are sounding and what I need to work on. It's bare, but I thought this turned out kind of sweet.

Heavy Boy by eurasian

eurasian — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:38:18 -0800

Possibly the geekiest use of "Nature Boy".

Photographing the Deceased Child by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:37:20 -0800

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.

Don't Touch My Meal by Meatbomb

Meatbomb — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:44:53 -0800

A song for children.

ibfrog — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:51:06 -0800
