O Superman (cover)
Here's an attempt to cover O Superman without copying it; no synths, no vocoders, no sampling or looping. [more inside]
I'll Stab You (for Sumru)
Being an apology-by-request to robocop is bleeding for trouncing him unmercifully in a recent game of Diplomacy. [more inside]
Wheel in the Sky (bluegrass cover)
As requested by uncleozzy. I'd like to think this is a song sung by a hard-travelin' man dreaming of his girl—a girl with beautiful long black hair, and a high, soaring voice; Old Man Perry's daughter, Stephanie. [more inside]
True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston cover)
This is my take on a beautiful Daniel Johnston song that I learned from melissa may and sleepy pete. [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]
Fidelity (Cover)
I've had this Regina Spektor song stuck in my goddam head for weeks now + I haven't recorded any songs for months = this sloppy, lots-of-stuff-going-on cover recorded in a rut-exorcising session this afternoon and evening. [more inside]
California Dreamin' (cover)
Just a dreary little vignette to remind myself I record music sometimes. Started as a morning grumble, while the leaves were falling outside our kitchen window. [more inside]
Only Listened One Time
This song is not actually a cover of any actual song, even though it pretends to be for reasons that will become obvious when you listen to it.
Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (Guthrie cover)
Old Woody Guthrie tune that's probably been covered a couple hundred times. This is me breaking in our new upright bass.
Sgt. Pepper 2.0
A parody of A Day in the Life, penned earlier today by the highly overrated gentleman known as It's Raining Florence Henderson in response to disturbing revelations. Apologies to John. Paul can stuff it.
You Are My Sunshine
Let's call it EMOldtimey. Or, really, let's not. It's not a damned clean rendition, but with this old heartbreaker you don't have to be. My pre-verbal niece was purported to love it, and that's good enough for me.
Auld Lang Syne - Harvey Girls NYE 2006
A quick, messy, ridiculous recording made earlier this evening at Chez Harvey Girl, featuring melissa may on vocals, sleepy_pete on vocals and acoustic guitar, and moi on vocals and casio and maybe some banjo too but I can't honestly remember if we did that track.
Radio Cure (cover)
A lofi, live, solo acoustic cover of the fantastic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot track, recorded a few years back. Music has been way too slow the last couple days, dammit.
Waltz Number Two
I, too, recorded this song! It came out a little bit weird, which is probably appropriate.
How To Fight Loneliness
Cover of a gorgeous Wilco song. This is an extremely spartan interpretation. You may need to turn your volume up.
