Singing in the Shower on the 4th of July
I got a new headset mic (like for Skype calls) and wanted to test it out. Not bad! Anyway, happy BBQ and Beer day tomorrow, if you're in the US! Or hell, even if you're not!
The Hanging Tree
Polly
Polly wants a cracker. [more inside]
Wayne Avenue & Dale
Searching for the words: it's the worst. [more inside]
Cock Robin [second take]
A four-part a cappella take on an old English nursery rhyme. The melody is traditional; the harmonic lines were written by my friend Laura, who also sings each line. This is our first attempt at this (her first performing, my first recording/producing) and I'm still trying to think of ways to make it better.
Buckets and Big Ideas
This is a song from my 1993 release, The Big Off, redone with vocals only for this month's MeFiMu Challenge. El cheapo pitch shifter in effect. Video at YouTube or Vimeo. [more inside]
Glory Boy
Beet-stained glory boy, purge my sins with poodle freshener. [more inside]
The Worst Things
always win.
Na Na, Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) [Steam cover]
If, at a meetup, bondcliff hadn't pointed out this month's music challenge to me, I might have covered this song eventually anyway.
But since it's this month's challenge, and since bondcliff and I were born on the same day/month/year (same city and same first and middle name, too), I decided, hey, why not do a nutty, rushed job on it instead so that it actually means something. [more inside]

a sony digital recorder and ableton and pitch fuckery [more inside]
Smells like Hell
A scary song about my smelly apartment that will hopefully make you nauseous. [more inside]
Hail Rock Hall
Pirates For Sail is headed to the Rock Hall Pirate Festival this weekend. I rearranged the event's theme song into a madrigal of sorts, and made a quick-and-dirty laptop demo just to see if I could. [more inside]
The Black Angel’s Death Song
Solo vocals with delay, reverb, and amplitude modulation.
Acappellujah
It's still June for another hour and seventeen minutes, server time. [more inside]
Inverness
"To the flood and the drought; to pride and loneliness -- God's many tools to make us pray for what kills us." --Scott Miller [more inside]
Sap Song
I recorded this on my iPhone while walking home from school, using the awesome 4-track app GigBaby!. [more inside]
Eleven
Fulfilling two of the Challenges for July: Wildcard (music you hate = techno) and Music (ripped off James Bond Theme riff). Also, going for the trifecta, it's a cappella (June's Style Challenge). And it's still July 31st in some parts of the world, so I think this should be allowed in the door.
Hey Ya
An a cappella arrangement of the Outkast release, somewhat inspired by Mat Weddle's fantastic acoustic cover. [more inside]
Take On Me (a cappella cover)
My entry for the as-yet-unannounced Do An A Cappella Cover Of A-Ha's 'Take On Me' On A Dare From Your Wife challenge. [more inside]
Gaoth Barra na dTonn
My take on this wonderful Irish Gaelic song, which I learned from Clannad, and which was written by Diarmuid MacDiarmada. Donegaler Mefites, please don't kill me if I've mangled the pronunciation! [more inside]
The Private's Lament
The companion piece to the Turret Gunner's Farewell. This one's about my other great uncle, who fought in WWI and lived to tell the tale. (A bit more downbeat than TGF, and a bit of creative licence taken regarding his hometown.)
White Lines (a cappella)
These are the sort of things that occur to me as I go for my daily walk. Four-and-five-part harmony plus solo, bass and vocal percussion. Recorded in GarageBand using my MacBook's built-in mic.
