I Am Not A Lawyer & This Is Not Legal Advice
A result of the "make a request" thread I posted here a couple weeks back! I recorded the banjo, and greenish supplied the signing. This is for a presentation at a conference I'm part of in July. [more inside]
But the moderator, while insisting he was not intoxicated...
...could not explain his nudity. [more inside]
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]
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]
Summmmmer
To supplement my Music Talk post to the right, I'm looking for a collaborator to take this jam to the next level. [more inside]
Dirty Deeds (Done at Market Rate)
I've always thought it'd be extra cool to make a collaborative album like the Postal Service- the band, not the government entity- except, instead of snail-mailing recordings back and forth, you could just trade mixdown mp3s via email. This is a track I can't seem to come up with a vocal melody for. Any takers?
Have You Seen My Song, Hi Rami Hi?
Hi Rami Hi
[SPOILER FOR SLEEPY PETE] Half of a blind collaboration with sleepy pete. [more inside]
ndYouandMeandYouandMeandYo (In A Heartbeat)
I think I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm a bit tired of working on my own. So....here's an idea I'm offering up for collab. This demo sounds very '80's to me - like something a big-hair ponce-rock outfit like Cutting Crew would have knocked out. "I Just Died On My Arse Tonight" was I think one of their biggies. Uugghh. We need to kill that off pretty sharpish... [more inside]
Cook, Peary, and Byrd
Here is my entry into the "Educational Song" challenge from March of last year. (THIS IS AS FAST AS I WORK, PEOPLE.) It is a searing exposé / sing-along waltz that reveals the truth about early arctic exploration. My dad plays trumpet, my friend Jessica plays trombone and sings, my wife Sue sings just a little bit, and MeFi's own dubold and Pecinpah sing as well. Lyrics and (yes!) citations are inside. [more inside]
Green Boots
This might be a good song for a sunny summer weekend! My wife Sue sings it. Other ingredients: Autoharp, marimba, and a boss baritone sax solo supplied by MeFi's own man vs sun. [more inside]
Get Away
Today marks the release of a long anticipated hip hop collaboration. I refer, of course, to Watch the Throne. Undaunted, dapperkoala and I decided to release our collaboration today too. (A little NSFW) [more inside]
Additional Small Things
I loved ianK's minimalist take on All The Small Things the other day, and I thought it'd be fun to fill it out with a bunch more acoustic instrumentation and harmony vocals. [more inside]
Leave Her, Johnny
Here is an entry for the January Challenge! It is by me and rangefinder 1.4. It is a cover of "Leave Her, Johnny," a traditional sea shanty that was sung by sailors at the end of a voyage, as they were preparing to leave their ship ("her" in the song). [more inside]
This is That
I have no idea what this is, but at least zephyr_words sent me a great bass track for it.
The Night We Shot Bingo Elvis
A sordid tale of greed, revenge, and bingo. [more inside]
Dile que se quede con vos
Spanish Bombs
A folky cover of The Clash's "Spanish Bombs" featuring micayetoca and Miss V. [more inside]
Oh The King
A tune about an odd man who used to roam around my neighborhood as a kid. He wore a crown sometimes. Featuring chococat on drums. [more inside]
Oh Balloon Boy
This is my messy pop-rock interpretation of mikepop's excellent parodic adaptation of the old murder ballad "Darling Corey", which this sounds basically nothing like. [more inside]
Slide Your Left Hand to the Right (A Little)
This jaunty ditty features my wife singing lead and chococat playing the ukelele. I mostly just stand around. [more inside]
The MetaFilter Sekrit Orchestra: Happy Birthday, Jessamyn!
Happy 41th Birthday, Jessamyn! Congratulations -- you have found your Audio Birthday Card which we all recorded in secrecy. Enjoy! [more inside]
Medicine Man (Alpaca Room mix)
Burn Me All Away (Feat. Sleepy Pete)
With all the Sleepy Pete/Melissa May nostalgia going around, I thought it was probably time to post this little tune Sleepy Pete and I collaborated on long ago. [more inside]
Douchebag
step one: get a guitar
step two: learn a couple chords
step three: ???
step four: douchebag. [more inside]
Metafilter Orchestra - Pandora's Music Box
Metafilter Music Collaboration #2 is finished! This song involves 20 MeFites collaborating on an original song -- Exquisite Corpse style, which means that each contributor only got to hear one other contribution. Full credits and details inside. [more inside]
You Still Look Like You Did Before
I don't know what this is; kind of a pseudo-jugband, neo-bluegrass-ish, Hee-Haw with a whiney singer. [more inside]
Half Empty Waltz
MeFi's own es_de_bah takes over vocal duties on this one -- I didn't feel like I was the right person to sing it, and so I spent some time going through the "Music Collaborator" Mefi Wiki page until I found someone who would be. (It was his excellent song "a perfect preservative" which made me consider him in the first place.) In addition, my dad plays trumpet; I play Magnus chord organ, flute, and interesting percussion. It's a waltz. [more inside]
Jingle Burn
doubtfulpalace's and Astro Zombie's unexpected collaboration on the MeFiMusic page discovered by chococat. [more inside]
My Little Corner of the World
As requested by chococat, and featuring the great Karlos The Jackal on marimba and toy piano. [more inside]
Spiderman is the Greatest Super Hero of All Time
A collaboration by two mefites and a regular person. The other mefite doesn't want his name attached, I have no shame so I'll post it w/ my profile.
Mansion on the Hill (v.4)
Because it's not finished until there's a white guy pretending to be a gospel choir.
Mansion on a Hill (v.3)
Here's a first crack at adding a little gospel organ. [more inside]
Mansion on the Hill (v.2)
Just added a little vocal harmony, is all.
Mansion on the Hill
Cortex has given me a taste of MuFi collaboration, and I like it. This is a simply acoustic country gospel ballad about sin and possible redemption. Anyone is welcome to download it and contribute. [more inside]
The Accursed Hat
My take on Jofus's cowboy epic. Although I think a song like this demands additional production that I am not able to provide. By all means, feel free to download it, add whip cracking and horse hooves and banshee moans, or swirling guitars, or whatever else might epic this bad boy up.

The End of the World as We Know it (Freakfolk mix feat. snsranch); remix by ghm. [more inside]
Metafilter Orchestra - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
should been about cupcakes (now with cupcakes!)
drunken, impromptu collaboration with infidelzombie. my apologies to all. [more inside]
in memories
A collaboration with non-mefite Riadsala, who sometimes records bass for me. This is a pretty strange track, with a lot of effects going on, with a weirdish tempo change into the chorus which is backed by something in the vein of guitar shredding. [more inside]
Jessamyn's Song
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)
Metafilter Music Collab | Teaser #2: Freak Show
Another teaser from the collab. [more inside]
Metafilter Music Collab | Teaser #1: Backing Vocals
To appease (or perhaps aggravate) your curiosity, here's a tiny little teaser compiled from the Mefi Music Collaboration tracks. [more inside]
KUMATZ
This is a collaboration with the great micayetoca and an attempt to recreate what one might hear from the pre-columbian Maya. (snake)
Playin' the Pawns
The Great Big Mulp + snsranch + collaboration = Hell Yea!
What Have You Done?
While my friend Beth is in town, we're recording a bit (as The Shrimp Boat Pirates. We just finished this one last night. Hohner-Gruhn guitar, Fender Stratocaster, Casio keyboard, kitchen utensils, Audio-Technica microphone, and GarageBand.
I Shine
CollaborationFilter: I had this song I could never considered finished because it sounded dreadful in my voice. Then I discovered Metafilter Music and here I discovered chococat. Like pretty much everyone else who heard his music, I was blown away. And so I asked him if he would help me out with the song. Cool guy he is, he did. And this is the result.
