As the unimaginative title suggests, this is my entry for the April MeFi Music challenge. It's an ambient type of thing, largely made from reversed guitar recordings.

In 10/4 for the odd time challenge: an invitation to a mild-mannered New England Bluebeard’s castle, whose secret chamber of horrors is apparently
nothing more than a collection of quaint decorative arts.

Nicki Minaj from a acapella rapping in 5/4 over an obnoxious beat with excessive handclaps for the odd time music challenge

A long time and a bit ago, there was an
It Gets Better challenge, and the late lamented Major Dundee posted
this in response, along with instruction to ride it hard and put it away wet. So that's what I did.

Minor variation on an old minstrel tune. Fretless tackhead banjo, marginally played tambourine and bones.

Here Comes the Suck--The sun is gone and nothing good will ever happen again. Everything has diminished, but
DMelanogaster and I are up for the challenge.

A cover of Radiohead's H&D on resonator guitar in open G, for the minor/major challenge. I originally intended this to be a shitkicking country stomper but it turned into something quite different.

Take
Another Brick in the Wall parts 1, 2, and 3, jam 'em all into one quick bluegrass shitkicker, throw it into a major key, and you get this.

A minor-key cover of
Any Major Dude Will Tell You, with lyrics altered to replace any trace of softheartedness with utter cynicism and despair.

Final version of the song I posted a few days ago. Also my New Year's challenge entry. The usual 70s-tinged nonsense.

The 2-part version of the Praetorius classic, in a
slightly almost painfully slow tempo. Still getting used to this self-overdubbing thing.

Despite my lack of religion and the fact that this song has been done to death, I thought I'd give it a shot.

I know this is completely not what the challenge is but I couldn't help myself. My sincere apologies.

Part B of Tubular Bells -- from about 1:00 to 1:50 with its driving metronomic pulse and the sudden bark of the overdriven guitar -- reminds me of one of our kitchen appliances. Includes bombastic announcement.

Wrote this tune early in the month, shortly after seeing the Challenge announcement, and would've posted it much sooner, but other commitments plus a dose of good old fashioned procrastination delayed the recording until this afternoon. The last day of the month, of course! Just in under the gun, then, is my submission for this month's Mefi Music Challenge.

I'm really new at all this, but I thought I'd put something together for the It Gets Better challenge. My first MeFiMusic song.

This is a seed, an idea for a chorus that I'm offering up either for collab or for someone else to take it somewhere and give it a damn good shagging. I got the idea almost immediately upon reading unSane's post and recorded this on the fly in an hour or two today in between cooking dinner. It's as rough as the proverbial badger's arse, but there is something there worth exploring. Perhaps it could get better....

Last minute entry. This was supposed to be, and will eventually be, an a capella/choral twofer with
Fitter Happier, but I wasn't able to finish it in time.

Oh shit. I lost the power supply to the br-532 in the move, so to be econimical i got a br-800 which arrived this week.. i recorded all this within the last 2 hours and about a half hour ago realized i had no idea how to get it off the damn thing. turns out it was the same way as the 532 but to make a short story short used the mixing on the 800 and um.. here we go.. straight off the br-800.. also played bass for the first time in 500 years

Like all supergroups, the OK LA MeFi Action Band sometimes pares itself down to a solo performer and producer arrangement. Nobody leaves the room, you understand, but everyone takes a drink and everyone but me holds their breath.
