Mozzarella (Producer's Cut) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:52:05 -0800

This is what happens when the whole band is present, overdubbing together--and you're still stupid, but now there's one more of you!

Run Run Run by askmeaboutLOOM

Looking through the lyrics, I had no idea what we were going to do for this track. Man vs sun, however, knew from the get-go.

Part two of the epic Cheese trilogy.

The Great Curve by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:41:03 -0800

One of my favourite songs by Talking Heads--an experiment of sorts.

O'er Cresting Phrygian Waves by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:11:56 -0800

A return to roots, an experiment with new textures.

A sequel, of sorts.

Japonisme (2) by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:14:19 -0800

MeFiMu stalwart micayetoca asked me if there was anything else from the Japonisme project, so I dug up this other one that I'd done a while back. It's just a simple little ditty that uses an a cappella vocal (slowed down a bit) from a 7" record I picked up at a flea market, to which I've added a rhythm track and some bamboo jaw harp. I put it to some video footage I shot here in Tokyo, too, and uploaded it to YT earlier today. If you'd like to see it...

Pour Me Another Box of Wine by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:15:42 -0800

An instrumental from Sailor Martin representing his state of mind most of the time: noisy, jug bandish, sloppy, yet unexpectedly chipper and mellow. Listen closely and you can hear Sailor Martin singing along in the background. Entry number 7 for the RPM challenge.

I Married Her for Her Money (She Married Me for My Lies) by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:11:33 -0800

My 6th RPM song for Sailor Martin. A close harmony country song about love and deception.

Cupcake, When You Have a Chance by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:40:39 -0800

This month's themes (cupcake, brisk, interstitials) didn't exactly turn the inspiration amplifier up to 11, but, goddammit, I ain't one to run away from a challenge, no sirree. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. So this one goes out to you, my little cupcake. You know who you are.

Used To Ride That Train by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 04:11:42 -0800

There must've been hundreds of times over the years that I've tapped out a rhythm on a pan full of water while doing the dishes, the pitch woozily shifting as the h2o sloshes about. At those times I've almost always thought, hey, I should put this on a track sometime. Of course, I never did, until the first MeFi Music Challenge, with its "water" theme. Along with the big metal bowl full of troubled waters, you'll hear jawharp, talking drum, bombo drum, bell, shaker and vocal. [Lyrics and more inside]

Just Blew Into Town by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:07:38 -0800

Here's a song from the RPM '07 CD that I just popped into the mail today. In the end I was able to get 8 presentable tunes together within the space of the month. Whew!

Blues Wrapped Round My Head by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 06:59:12 -0800

In a slow count of 5, here's some kind of convergence of Burma and the blues, or thereabouts. "scissors cut paper / paper blows away / stone smashes scissors / and so it goes / another day / but it's all downhill from here / at least that's what sisyphus said /ah you're fucked six ways from sunday / with the blues wrapped round your head"

Until You Kiss Me by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 07:56:25 -0800

"i blew across the great plains like a plastic bag / from the broken heart of town to the dock of the bay / there ain't that much to say about the wide wide world / people everywhere just sleepwalk in their own little way / and ain't no hope of waking up / until you kiss me babe"

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...
