Landing Song by Navelgazer

Navelgazer — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:36:18 -0800

The Olivers are on some rough seas right now, but here's something to guide us all to better shores.

Brooklyn Cars by andrewraff

andrewraff — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 08:24:28 -0800

Recorded with lots of bleed to 2" analog tape in a very cold studio in an old barn upstate New York (and vocals, keys and other overdubs done in a warmer environment back in NYC), this is a song about fan culture in the internet age. Sorta. And fun.

Freedom Tape by Artifice_Eternity

Artifice_Eternity — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 22:31:31 -0800

A simple, melancholy electro instrumental that I recorded a couple of years ago. Percussion ideas came from various hip-hop sources; the melody is my own. I use it as background music during a spoken-word segment of my live shows.

Some Shady Leaves by Afroblanco

Afroblanco — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 12:49:12 -0800

Tender love song with an intriguing, unusual structure

Angel Waltz by Afroblanco

Afroblanco — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 07:57:03 -0800

In the grand tradition of rock and roll waltzes, I bring you Angel Waltz.

Burnsauce by Afroblanco

Afroblanco — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:11:22 -0800

Sort of a kiss-off song. Play this after you've been dumped via email by some silly girl that you should have never been messing around with, anyway.

The Marching Glum by Afroblanco

Afroblanco — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:07:30 -0800

Navelgazer and I are in a Brooklyn-based indie-rock band called The Olivers. This past weekend, we recorded 7 songs for our new album. This one is called The Marching Glum. Please let us know what you think - we are curious as to how people will like our new material. (previously : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Threnody by milquetoast

milquetoast — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 19:48:07 -0800

Boisterous, jangly, synthy indie/ post-punk from The Ghost of Mankind. This is a rehearsal recording with a couple of cringe-inducing moments. This track, along with the previous two (1, 2), comprise an unreleased three-song EP tentatively titled Elegiac, almost recorded in summer 2003.

Talkers vs. Writers by safetyfork

safetyfork — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 09:46:27 -0800

"Oh, yeah! You're a sucker!" "Works everytime!" "Let the other ones talk!" Though it's not the subject of the lyrics, this song always seemed somewhat appropriate to MetaTalk to me. I've been meaning to upload it since Mefi Music came together, but little things here and there seemed to always get in the way. The incarnation of the band that recorded this swiftly broke up later that same year. We've all gone on to other bands. Anyhow, here it is now. The year: 2002. The band: Knife Skills. The method: Tascam 4-track. The location: A & D's concrete wall, shed/apartment in Brooklyn, NY. The safetyfork: Bass.

Flat Fix by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 21:40:04 -0800

This is a tune from a 1995 release called "Samm Bennett's History of the Last Five Minutes", from the Knitting Factory label. The CD is currently out of print. The guitarist is Hahn Rowe, everything else is me. I've been thinking about re-releasing this and possibly my earlier KF CDs on my own label (Yay! Rights have reverted back to yours truly!) but I've got a bunch of new songs I wanna release first. Thought I'd just throw this one out there into the ether. Anyway, [lyrics inside] and, hope you enjoy...

Loretta by psmealey

psmealey — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 08:22:37 -0800

Another song about a girl. Her name was Loretta. By Esther.

One Thing's For Certain by psmealey

psmealey — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 03:13:11 -0800

Another from Esther. The vocals could use quite a bit more post-production work, but overall, I'm happy about how this one turned out.

Hit me in the Head by psmealey

psmealey — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 03:11:51 -0800

An entreaty to hit me in the head, but good. By Esther.

Hold Together by psmealey

psmealey — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 16:00:41 -0800

More fuzzy lo-fi goodness from Esther. We always enjoyed the hell out of playing this one live, but were never able to capture that same energy on disk. This was our best effort.

(not) Polished by psmealey

psmealey — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 03:19:48 -0800

Rough track I wrote when mired in a bit of a funk. Wanted to see if I could write a song that contained both 3/4 and common time and not end up sounding like Rush. I think it works... sorta.

Bullfighter by psmealey

psmealey — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 14:04:50 -0800

A very, very low tech recording of little pop tune my band put together. Vocals definitely not for everyone.

Everybody Goes To Mona's by milquetoast

milquetoast — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 03:54:01 -0800

Jangly post-punk (indie? rock? whatever.) from The Ghost of Mankind. Me on the drums, ridiculously hungover and half a beat behind. From an unreleased EP recorded in a warehouse in Greenpoint in 2003.

Instant Lady by nervouscabaret

nervouscabaret — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 19:31:08 -0800

Punk gypsy out of brooklyn

Look Into Their Eyes by milquetoast

milquetoast — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 13:03:54 -0800

A short, loud, brutish protest song, with a jazzy intro for some reason. Recorded in a basement in Williamsburg sometime last century. Me and the bassist trading yowls. Man alive, that was a fun band.

Disarray by safetyfork

safetyfork — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 07:11:14 -0800

This snappy little track is from my band DIVISION OF PLANES.
