Turn Away by Jon_Evil

Jon_Evil — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:49:18 -0800

Poppy-ska song I wrote a couple years ago about being afraid to ask a girl out. (I did, eventually, but not in the song).

The Ballad of Cherry Hill by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:01:45 -0800

This is the lead-off track from the forthcoming EP, Labyrinths, by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 1/7/10. It's a wistful slice of indie-pop about insomnia, suburban isolation, and the boredom of hometowns.

Andrita Street by ford and the prefects

Demo for a song about my neighborhood here in Los Angeles...with mouth trumpet!

I Want You Back by Jon_Evil

Jon_Evil — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:13:16 -0800

Everybody driving by my window the last three weeks has been blasting Michael Jackson, I couldn't help myself. Maybe got a bit carried away. Many apologies to James Jamerson.

Brain in a Jar by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:03:27 -0800

I've been working on this song for the past few months. This is the result of my trying to write something sad. Unfortunately, my recording computer died last week, so some bits final mix came out sounding a little more sloppy than intended as there were a couple things I wanted to re-record. Also, I'm terrible at writing second verses.

Skallelujah by Jon_Evil

Jon_Evil — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:47:52 -0800

Although the song says the distinction is irrelevant, this is definitely the BROKEN hallelujah.

The Garden of Forking Paths by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:40:52 -0800

Just another folk-rock song about Jorge Luis Borges.

Shutterbug by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:43:40 -0800

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, la la la, la la la la. The new hit single from Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies. A chamber-pop meditation on time, aging, and death.

The Madness Encroaches by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 22:12:50 -0800

So, for this year's RPM Challenge I have decided to go all out and write a rock opera. This is one of the few songs I have worked on so far, and the first one that has been completed. Granted, this should be somewhere in the middle or the rock opera, but, still, it's the first one finished, so I'm posting it anyway.

Half Empty Waltz by Karlos the Jackal

Karlos the Jackal — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:31:46 -0800

MeFi's own es_de_bah takes over vocal duties on this one -- I didn't feel like I was the right person to sing it, and so I spent some time going through the "Music Collaborator" Mefi Wiki page until I found someone who would be. (It was his excellent song "a perfect preservative" which made me consider him in the first place.) In addition, my dad plays trumpet; I play Magnus chord organ, flute, and interesting percussion. It's a waltz.

Martial Family by idiopath

Free Jazz. Five trumpets, five drums.

Zillion (cover) by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:25:03 -0800

Zillion was a game for the Sega Master System. This is a song from the game (which you can see/hear here -- this song starts about 17 seconds in). I have, however, added lyrics, which are about the game's lack of a save function. With 77 tracks of tiny instruments, this song is probably my grandest musical venture yet.

Allergies by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:00:01 -0800

So, I was planning on recording my ukulele rendition of Holy Diver (yes, that one), but my allergies were acting up so I felt like crap. So, that's what this song is about. And it's NSFW.

Mnemosyne (It's autumn in the country I remember...) by barmaljova

barmaljova — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 00:18:54 -0800

A tango-influenced setting of a hundred year-old poem by Trumbull Stickney, "Mnemosyne" is the title track of our new CD, recorded by Ljova and the Kontraband (music by Ljova, sung by Inna). Mnemosyne is the Greek goddess of memory, and this is a song of nostalgy and of memories that turn color like autumn leaves yearning for rebirth with a vibrant song in the spring.... We've long been looking forward to sharing this song with you all.

Then She Begins ... by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:33:31 -0800

Tonight, I created a really, really, really good remake of an old song of mine. I don't even know if I have a copy of the original anymore, but ... whoa ... this thing ended up being kind of epic. Features horns and toy pianos, a reed organ, both regular and electric ukulele, some drums. I even tried my hand at playing the bass. Short, simple lyrics within (of which I am also rather proud)!

Flyball's Lament (the better one) by The Great Big Mulp

The Great Big Mulp — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 22:00:41 -0800

This is a much better version of a song I submitted a while back. Many of the chorus-related mistakes mentioned in the comments have been fixed, and I have added a few vocal layers, along with some horns. It's really quite probably the best song I've ever put together.

February Third (album version) by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 08:18:31 -0800

A Metafilter exclusive! This is the studio version of my contribution to the meficomp. It's the second track from my new album, which is available now.

Summer's Ending (album version) by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 15:32:00 -0800

This is the closing track of my debut LP, Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 4/20/07.

the Hours -- by the Notes and Scratches by verysleeping

verysleeping — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 08:35:43 -0800

A cluttered and messy rock song from our record Uh-Oh. I play guitar and sing in this band (and play the singing saw on this track!).
