run to you (bryan adams cover) by edlundart

edlundart — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:46:46 -0800

No, seriously. Just for fun, I decided to do this cover song to test out some drum stuff. Thought I'd share this while I work on some new songs...

do you ever by edlundart

edlundart — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:46:38 -0800

This track switches between three time signatures, and features an intro with a style of singing I guess one could call very vaguely eastern. It's a slow and gentle affair with softly distorted ebowed guitar, piano, and xylophone. It also includes a guitar solo in which a single note is played repeatedly. And lyrics that are pretty silly.

Fred Jones, Pt. 2 by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:22:16 -0800

It's amazing what you can throw together in about 4 hours with nothing but a Rock Band mic, 8 of yourself, and a pair of Stylophones.

Open My Ears by ibfrog

ibfrog — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:53:58 -0800

A verse from the AVB song Open My Heart (or at least as best as I could remember it)

Since You've Been Gone by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:26:12 -0800

Continuing the theme of random a capella overdubbed stuff I have in my back catalogue, an old favourite

Originally by man vs sun, recorded while just dicking around with a microphone.

It Was A Great Year (Movies With Robots) by gmm

gmm — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:38:09 -0800

Easy, nostalgic, cinematic electronica. The challenging part was getting the robots to sing - not too mechanically, but not too uncannily either.

come careening by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:03:17 -0800

Layers of soft guitar distortion with pseudo-indian instruments thrown in, under a falsetto vocal over a deeper background vocal going through a guitar amp. I'm kind of proud of the lyrics, which are about staying true.

All I Believe by ocherdraco

A cover some friends and I will be performing at a cabaret here in New York in a couple weeks.

Tea For Two by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:00:17 -0800

Lately I've been in a mood to sing vintage romantic standards in a very straight up way. Some day I want to do a version of this song inspired by Anita O'Day. This ain't it. You can still feel free to dance, though!

Drew Carey Ruined The Price Is Right by man vs sun

man vs sun — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 23:08:49 -0800

I've pinpointed the reason our economy is in shambles. It wasn't the subprime mortgage crisis. It wasn't Bernie Madoff. It wasn't even the president. The moment our global economy collapsed was when Bob Barker retired as game show host.

How Long Has This Been Going On by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:28:52 -0800

Rehearsing some totally new Gershwin torch songs. Well, not new for the Gershwins. They're pretty dead. New for me, though. :)

i will (radiohead cover) by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:13:02 -0800

Spur-of-the-moment lo-fi live cover of the Radiohead song off Hail to the Thief, to which I added a couple of equally rough overdubs and some reverb. The guitar is out of tune and poorly played, but the vocal melody tweaks are kind of fun.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes by StrikeTheViol

StrikeTheViol — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:04:24 -0800

Yes, it's Disney, with some nice jazzy guitar as background courtesy of Adrian Holovaty...I tried to add a few touches of my own, I hope you enjoy.

undulate underling by edlundart

A short, lyrically strange new song partly based on a dream.

Gone by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:21:25 -0800

A new song about my bad tendency to just pack up and leave without warning.

casanova ruins by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:26:16 -0800

I was walking around in the garment district at night on valentine's day years ago, and spotted a beautiful woman walking alone across the street. Despite being glamorously dressed up, she looked like she had lost all faith in men. She was carrying a heart-shaped balloon and huge flowers. This song is sort of about that.

Wasn't We a Pair by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:58:47 -0800

Part of my Old Songs project. A tale of loss and regret told in the manner of a Mexican ragtime cowboy song.
