In A Room by inoculatedcities

Cover I did hastily yesterday afternoon of The House of Love's beautiful song "In A Room".

Forcefield by snofoam

snofoam — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:00:00 -0800

The power of passive aggression, in song form. Meant for listening loud in headphones, although what isn't?

Cinematheque by drezdn

An old New Blind National's song from when we were listening to a lot of Spoon.

'Til We're Dead by inoculatedcities

inoculatedcities — Mon, 26 May 2008 11:01:22 -0800

I think I managed to write a somewhat upbeat song! Well, upbeat if you ignore the title and lyrics. It's got: hammond organ, celesta, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, and some epic "Woo-oo-oooh" back up vocals.

Memory Hole by saulgoodman

saulgoodman — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:36:52 -0800

A sad/angry song about the place where all the things we'd rather forget end up. Inspired by MeFi politics filter, where I was first introduced to the concept of "the memory hole," which in turn gave rise to this song. (This is a redux post after I accidentally posted an old mix before.)

Change Your Plans by thepressdelete

thepressdelete — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 12:29:12 -0800

I think this has potential, I just don't really know where to go with it. So for the moment, I'm posting it and moving on.

I Love Tea Parties on the Ceiling by sleepy pete

sleepy pete — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:17:20 -0800

An old song based on this scene from Mary Poppins that I told melissa may I'd post a long time ago.

Faster Peach by melissa may

Your eyes, diamonds rough as a fist, chipped away.

Some Shady Leaves by Afroblanco

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

Tender love song with an intriguing, unusual structure

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)

Chivalry by tmcw

tmcw — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 14:29:27 -0800

The second recording of my first visit to my school's media center. It's a song idea that I've been toying with for a long, long time. It's in 7/4... if you like that sort of thing.

Face The Music (Tony Danza) by drezdn

drezdn — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:13:17 -0800

I forget why Tony Danza was in this song title, but man have you ever seen that guy naked? This is another rockist song from my old band New Blind Nationals. It's got the three guitar attack but with a pulsing disco bass line underneath. I'd like to pretend that Franz Ferdinand stole their best ideas from me while I was sleeping.

Tanks and Planes by drezdn

drezdn — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 11:33:49 -0800

Another song from my old band, this one mixes balladry with a hardcore influence. Noteworthy because it's one of the few songs I named (after a misremembered Radio Shack game from the 80s that I never actually played).

Dissent by sparkletone

sparkletone — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:24:59 -0800

This arrangement still needs some embellishment, though I think it works okay as is. Probably one of my better vocal turns.

End of the Good Songs by drezdn

drezdn — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 12:14:29 -0800

Another jangly guitar thing in the style of say Built to Spill from my old band New Blind Nationals, this one would jokingly close sets on occasion (it also has one of my favorite bass parts)

Sturtevant By Night by drezdn

drezdn — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 10:38:47 -0800

Three guitars and a teensy bit of aggression in this song by my old band New Blind Nationals.

Cancer Patient by sparkletone

sparkletone — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:37:46 -0800

Mmm, 6/8 time... The vocal's less questionable than the other songs I've posted, but it is quite raspy in places because I ended up doing it in a couple takes after already having spent an hour two whipping the screamy bits of M.A.D. into shape, so my voice was a bit shot.

M.A.D. by sparkletone

sparkletone — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:08:59 -0800

WE CAN DO THE MUTUALLY-ASSURED DESTRUCTION

Used Up by drezdn

drezdn — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:10:33 -0800

A slow bouncy pop song from my old band, New Blind Nationals

Invocation by sparkletone

sparkletone — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:55:52 -0800

A long time ago, this song used to have words. They were super lame. Now it makes for a good guitar freak out. The drums were the first thing I ever made in Ableton Live. Doing the tempo changes at the end in Live was a pain (but I still love you, Live!). I think the drums sound a bit stiff and robotic (in a bad way), but it's still about the best I can do with real drum sounds. The vocal's a bit dodgy, but is Good Enough For Now.

Inarmed Decision by drezdn

drezdn — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:54:24 -0800

This is another song my old band. It's mixes ballad with a slight hardcore influence

Signal 30 by drezdn

drezdn — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 20:19:10 -0800

The first song I ever wrote on guitar, re-recorded by my old band the New Blind Nationals
