Walkabout (Atlas Sound cover) by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:55:08 -0800

In which I decide to stop candy butt-ing around it, and attempt to join the reverb drenched, echo cave sound of today. This doesn't really sound like anything I've done before, so I'd love to hear a couple reactions.

Sauvie Island by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:37:27 -0800

A short, two chord song that is a true story.

There Should Have Been Cake by askmeaboutLOOM

And it needed to be one of these.

Sunday Morning by micayetoca

A Sunday morning here.

Burning December by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sat, 02 May 2009 17:06:49 -0800

A song I recorded outside today, except for the vocals which I will explain inside. This is another one I would especially appreciate thoughts on.

This Much by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:47:03 -0800

A two chord challenge song that EXPLODES!

Window by escabeche

escabeche — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:10:54 -0800

A new Grandma Sylvias track. Sort of supposed to be a cross between "10:15 Saturday Night" and Delta blues. Features hesitant guitar playing, a burst of noise at the end, occasional whistling, and the usual tape hiss.

We'll Walk Far by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 02:46:42 -0800

A love song to my girlfriend and hiking. Banjolele, percussion, and whistling.

If This Bed Could Talk by Astro Zombie

Astro Zombie — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:30:41 -0800

The fifth song for the RPM challenge. Sailor Martin does a song in the style of Andrew Bird.

Candy House by Corduroy

Corduroy — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:55:11 -0800

This is a rerecording of an old song, done for the February RPM Challenge. Features geetar plucking, good ol' reliable double tracked lo-fi vocals, and singing saw imitation whistling.

Santa Claus is comin' to town by ORthey

ORthey — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 15:52:51 -0800

A cover of the "I'll be watching you" of Christmas songs, recorded with my dear friend okclementine.

Whoop Heet by Corduroy

Corduroy — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:49:24 -0800

Here's a song that is stylistically similar to Apfel Augen, but with (half stolen) lyrics, and some percussion that I'm quite fond of. The guitar is tuned C#G#C#F#A#C#. It features some cool whistling, which I was trying to make sound like slide electirc guitar.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Corduroy

Corduroy — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:13:14 -0800

I know, I know, another Neutral Milk Hotel cover from this guy. But bear with me on this one - this was my first ever attempt at recording something. Beware of ridiculous effects, general fuzz, super cool whistilng and wild panning, especially if you are on headphones.

Flyball's Lament (the cover one) by ORthey

ORthey — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:42:39 -0800

A version of my still-favorite all-time MeMu song by the inimitable Great Big Mulp, for the June challenge.

Bury Your Tracks by Corduroy

Corduroy — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:56:57 -0800

A more ambitious song I've been working on for a while. Would really, really love any feedback.

Secular Humanist Love Song by Dalton

Dalton — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:50:13 -0800

The title is pretty self-explanatory really. Instruments: piano and reedy voice.

So, Why Not? by not_on_display

not_on_display — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:32:28 -0800

More 4-track clearance. This time, it's a happy, bouncy ditty from 1993: two guitars, some whistling and happily mumbled lyrics. Recorded probably with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk on the brain, with all knobs turned up to eleven.

(8-Bar Wake) Before an Irish Funeral by rosco731

rosco731 — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:51:48 -0800

First song off of the new People Will Blink record. This song was written about 3 years ago and went through many transformations before it began to sound... well... listenable. When we played this song live, Azeem used a vocoder during the bridge. He forgot it in California when we recorded, so we used a clarinet, melodica, and recorder in it's place.

The Long Trail by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:36:43 -0800

Foolishly recorded next to a loud computer. Features whistling, a shaker, and tapping on guitar percussion. Perhaps worth a rerecording someday. Named after a trail that cuts all the way across Vermont.

Jessamyn's Song by snsranch

snsranch — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:23:36 -0800

Well boys and girls, I imagine this is what it would sound like if one was lucky enough to hang out on the front porch with our favorite banjo picking librarian. Yes, that's jessamyn on banjo! (collaboration)

Sidewinder by ORthey

ORthey — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:52:23 -0800

Tuned the guitar way down and added some banjo. This song does this thing where it equates "snake" with "girl." Like a metaphor, see. Also: it seems to play better through headphones (possibly because of the use of stereo). But maybe I just have bad speakers.

The most frozenest river around by ORthey

ORthey — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:21:56 -0800

A song inspired by crossing the frozen river Neva in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This song is short, simple, and basically three choruses and no verses. That's right - screw the verses!

Got Away by sluglicker

sluglicker — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 09:19:05 -0800

Continuing a theme, I guess...

Barley & Grape Rag by TwoWordReview

TwoWordReview — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:07:50 -0800

A cover of the Rory Gallagher track. I decided to learn this tune instead of doing some proper work today. I think I definitely need to find where I put that pop shield....

Overheated by ORthey

ORthey — Sun, 06 May 2007 14:52:15 -0800

I recently dislocated my shoulder, and assumed music was out of the picture for a month or two. But I was getting pissed off at not playing, and discovered if I capoed everything up really high and didn't play anything too fancy, my arm could handle short bursts of pickin'. So I made a simple song, part French and part English.
