Both Hands - cover (Ani DiFranco)
Acoustic guitar and voice. Pretty straight as far as my memory of the proper song goes. [more inside]
F9mily (You & Me)
A multi-tracked violin sketch/tiny cover of an excellent song by Lil Nas X that I can't get out of my head.
Third King From the Sun
A cast-off 30-second demo of a Christmas tune you might recognize. [more inside]
How Far I'll Go
I had the drums and amp mic'ed up anyway, so I decided to lay down this track from Moana.
Forget About (Sibylle Baier cover)
Cover of this beautiful song by Sibylle Baier. Guitalele, flute/clarinet/marimba/wurlitzer piano synths. [more inside]
Come To Me
björk cover [more inside]
Theme from the television series Star Fleet/X-Bomber/Ｘボンバー
When the Curtains of Night
I'm happy to present my collaboration with not_on_display: this is our version of a neat little tune that was included in The American Songbag (a 1927 folk song collection by Carl Sandburg); the song there was itself derived from a late 19th-century song by William S. Hays. [more inside]
Good So Bad
This is my take on a song by one of the hosts of [dopey podcast](http://dopeypodcast.com), the one they close out every episode with. Came out kinda like a ska tune somehow. Got my daughters doing a little background vox.
True Love Will Find You In The End (Daniel Johnston Cover)
If you know of him, you may have an opinion that Daniel Johnston is a outsider genius, a troubled victim of hipster exploitation, or simply a not-so-typical independent musician who found his audience. If nothing else, his work is irrefutably full of sincerity and emotion.
This little piece of his is one of the great American songs. [more inside]
The Leaving of Liverpool
I had a great time collaborating with billiebee on a cover of this traditional folk song/sea shanty. The goal was to record a simple arrangement that was different from the more lively covers out there -- to borrow billiebee's phrase, a gentler version. I'm hoping our rendition highlights the lovely melody of the song. [more inside]
Doc McStuffins Theme
I have a cheap, cruddy second-hand drum kit and a two-year-old. [more inside]
Sin City
Written by Gram Parsons and originally recorded by the Flying Burrito Brothers in 1969. It's one of our favorites and is just as relevant today as ever so here we (Corwin Bolt & the Wingnuts) are. [more inside]
The Way of the World [Flipper Cover]
...you do what you can, though! goddamnit! [more inside]
Co-starring Richard Sanders
What scares me? Playing music in front of other people, that's what! So here, for my MeFi music debut, is a slow jam to one of the greatest sitcom closing theme songs ever. [more inside]
Nightmare On Elmstreet Theme (NES)
Q: What scares you?
A: Freddy Kruger [more inside]
Mr. HONK Miser
It turns out that once you start making honkcore tracks, it's hard to stop. [more inside]
(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding
[Cover] Sentimental and simple, but a good reminder of what matters. [more inside]
Sir HONK
Who is more foolish, the fool who requests a honkcore version of "Sir Duke," or the fool who fills the request? [more inside]
SuperstitiHONK
Halle Hula - live from Hāpuna Beach
Sat down yesterday with my new uke, at a beach on the west cost of the Big Island, to revisit my Cohen/Elvis parody from several years ago.
Worry About The World (cover/mashup)
This is a cover of a song my dad wrote (that I actually found via combing through his post history on Metafilter after he died) [more inside]
Computer World [Kraftwerk cover]
Featuring the voice of greenish as the Computer. I thought it would be fun to do it slower, using mostly analog instruments and a computer to record it, in juxtaposition to how Kraftwerk originally recorded it in 1981 (using computer instruments and I'm guessing analog tape). Also I was feverish with Lyme Disease while I recorded it. Song #11 in Unu Kanto Po Semajno.
China Doll
Small Blue Thing (Suzanne Vega cover)
Recorded this quick and dirty into my phone, so there's a few bumps here and there, but overall OK. Not really my optimal vocal range though...
Keep Your Hands to Yourself (Georgia Satellites cover, Interpolated with "The Theme to The Great White North" and Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Free No. 10")
...in Sleng Teng Riddim style, no less. Song #5 in my Unu Kanto Po Semajno series. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SILLY. [more inside]
Rock of Ages
Def Leppard's deathless anthem, reimagined as a power chord étude for the accordion. [more inside]
Imperial Triangle
For Halloween, here's me dressing up at Elvis Costello cosplaying as Weezer doing a few bars of "Pink Triangle." Trick or Treat!
Breathe-Pigs-Cigar-Breathe (Reprise)-Great Gig in the Sky
A re-do of a Pink Floyd medley thing I posted a few months ago -- we got better at playing it and added a bit at the end. [more inside]
Michelle
Cover of the Beatles' 'Michelle' as recorded by The Lucky Sperms, a band I was in with Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair. From our Jagjaguwar Records release Somewhat Humorous. [more inside]
Always On My Mind (cover)
Resonator and baritone uke, trying to channel Willie Nelson though maybe via John Darnielle a little it turns out. [more inside]
Free Man In Paris
For the May/June/July Music Challenge, billiebee and I collaborated on a Joni Mitchell cover. [more inside]
Dark as a Dungeon
An old Merle Travis song that I learned years ago when I first started getting into bluegrass. Another chance to break in the new resonator guitar, and do some fun chorus harmonies. [more inside]
In The Pines
I went and bought my first resonator guitar yesterday, a Gretsch Honey Dipper (evidence), and this seemed like a good tune to try and break it in on. [more inside]
Jackson (Lucinda Williams Cover)
My entry for the May/June 'City Songs' challenge. [more inside]
Why Worry (Dire Straits cover)
30 years ago today, on 13 May 1985, Dire Straits released their number-1, 9-times platinum, Grammy-winning fifth album: Brothers in Arms.
‘Why Worry’ is track 5 of the nine great songs on the album. [more inside]
Paranoid Shepard
This is an endlessly rising Radiohead cover vignette; a section from Paranoid Android rises a whole step and repeats itself, and does so again, six times total, before returning to where it started, as a kind of large-scale take on the Shepard tone. [more inside]
The Golden Age (Beck cover)
A synthed out, vocoded take on Beck's extremely non-synthy song off of Sea Change, as an excuse to fiddle around with Reason 8. [more inside]
Carl Sandburg (Sufjan Stevens cover)
threeants' lovely cover of Chicago reminded me of this version of another song off that same album that I recorded ten years ago, and made me realize I never posted it to Music. So here it is! [more inside]
Chicago (Sufjan Stevens cover)
Felt inspired to throw together a cover of an old favorite for the May/June challenge. [more inside]
Your Racist Friend (Y Tori Kant Even)
It's past due for the 25th anniversary of Flood, but here's a cover of They Might Be Giant's Your Racist Friend done roughly in the style of Tori Amos. [more inside]
Those Aren't Poodles [Greg Nog cover]
I had the day off. I heard the previous song. I started singing it my head like this. I had to share. I am still in my jammas. I am a recalcitrant dog misidentifier, but I'm better known for considering all animals and some human babies gender-neutral.
Gymnopédie No. 1
Alas, not a TMBG cover. But a droney, sometimes dissonant cover of Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 on pump organ.
Particle Man
My little old-timey number for the TMBG Flood covers project. [more inside]
Particle Man
I decided I wanted to play too! Please enjoy my ridiculous amateurism. [more inside]
Particle Man
A really spare last-minute acoustic cover of the TMBG song. [more inside]
Kids
A cover of the MGMT song. Just me on vocals, guitar, and bass. Inspired by a recording I have of Ben Lee playing this song live. [more inside]
They Might Be Giants
Here is my take on TMBG for the Metafilter Flood Album! More novelty than novelty, that's my motto (apparently). This is not at all what I had in mind for this somehow. [more inside]
Birdhouse in Your Soul
Even -- or especially -- in the darkest hours of the night or the wee hours of the morning, there is still a Birdhouse in Your Soul. For the Flood project, here is a cover by chara and me. [more inside]
Theme from "Flood"
Why is the world about to fall in love all over again? Why will we be marching hand in hand? Why are the ocean levels still rising up? It's a brand new record for 2015: MetaFilter's cover of They Might Be Giants' classic album, Flood!
