6 categories of word smithing, one book = bible, and a thesaurus is the brief version! Enjoy...

If It Be Your Will (Leonard Cohen cover) by Saellys

Saellys — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:41:14 -0800

I just listened to the man's Live in London album tonight, and decided to spend the rest of the evening hammering this out.

come here (aberdeen) by edlundart

edlundart — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:08:33 -0800

This started as a weird tune with pseudo-Indian wailing/cat meowing vocals, guitar feedback, and a one-note sitar solo. It still has those elements, but the track ended up being an almost radio-friendly, catchy (?) pop-rock thing.

Going Down to Die by xorry

xorry — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:38:27 -0800

A Danzig cover (aahh!) I used to love the early Danzig albums back in high school. Three or four months ago I had a nice night and must have remembered the band because I woke up with this. It has since been remastered several times ( took out a lot of bass on the guitar ) and many attempts to post have been made (some nights you just can't figure out LAME). Like everything else I seem to have thrown together so far, it's one take on guitar (with vocals from that take bleeding in) and then one for vocals which were doubled. I added some shit in the left at a couple places.

Silent Night by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 23:44:40 -0800

Silent Night with acoustic guitar, ukulele, and 4 part vocals.

Wheat Kings by eurasian

eurasian — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:13:31 -0800

Cover of Wheat Kings by Tragically Hip. Crappy guitar work, slightly less crappy vocals.

Heavy Boy by eurasian

eurasian — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:38:18 -0800

Possibly the geekiest use of "Nature Boy".

That's All by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 22:13:57 -0800

I'm jumping back into music with both feet right now, so here's another rehearsal recording for your listening pleasure. This sweet tune was introduced by Nat King Cole back in 1952. You young whippersnappers probably remember it from elsewhere though. Sigh.

Mean to Me by miss lynnster

miss lynnster — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:09:59 -0800

Back to practicing new repertoire with my freakishly adorable guitarist Barry. Yay! Sooo, here's a pretty straight and peppy little version of an old standard tune by Fats Waller.

Why by tmcw

tmcw — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:21:19 -0800

Came up with this song yesterday, and I sort of like it. A departure.

undulate underling by edlundart

edlundart — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:02:20 -0800

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

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.

Hey, Little Sprout! by sleepy pete

sleepy pete — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:31:17 -0800

A song written for my oldest nephew (he's the giggling in the beginning and the talking at the end). His nickname is the monk, not little sprout.

Tonight Hit the Bong With Me by frenetic

frenetic — Sat, 24 May 2008 10:18:26 -0800

A very dumb cover of Tonight You Belong To Me, written by Lee David, 1926.

Chester v3 by tmcw

tmcw — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:19:43 -0800

First mix of fer-realz recording of one of my songs: Chester. Per my last AskMefi post, please critique it!

Tell Yourself by tmcw

tmcw — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:48:46 -0800

I suppose this is the equivalent of my last yay new instrument song. Banjo, 'lectric guitar, 'lectric drums, singin.

Pretty and Disheveled by Doublewhiskeycokenoice

Doublewhiskeycokenoice — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:03:58 -0800

We totally spelled this wrong on our EP. Hope y'all like it.

Trucks n' Stuff: Beck Cover by freya_lamb

freya_lamb — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:43:32 -0800

For no good reason, here is a random cover that came out of an evening spent trying to get to grips with multitracking in Cool Edit pro...

Microcrystalline by Espy Gillespie

Espy Gillespie — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:40:59 -0800

A brief petrological survey.

Concrete Creeper by Wolfdog

Wolfdog — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 04:13:01 -0800

Loopy, mostly off-the-cuff, more-or-less-zero-production bass-and-vocal thing? Primusoidal TomWaitsishness with the slop cranked way up? Lyrics and vocals courtesy of this guy over here.

Lazlo, Buddy (rethought) by sleepy pete

sleepy pete — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 09:52:06 -0800

This is a rethink of a song I posted earlier this year.

gone by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:33:20 -0800

I think this is one of the catchier songs I've come up with in a while, though I never seem to be a good judge of that. At any rate, it's a short and simple track about intense love gone missing... or something like that.

the end by edlundart

edlundart — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 21:07:17 -0800

A "drifty" and atmospheric song about life and death and love, complete with harp.

Metafilter Music Collab | Teaser #1: Backing Vocals by goodnewsfortheinsane

goodnewsfortheinsane — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:01:51 -0800

To appease (or perhaps aggravate) your curiosity, here's a tiny little teaser compiled from the Mefi Music Collaboration tracks.

hungry heart by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:53:47 -0800

This is a lazy pseudo-live cover of the Bruce Springsteen song, recorded on a whim a couple of years ago.
