Live and Learn
Final version of the song I posted a few days ago. Also my New Year's challenge entry. The usual 70s-tinged nonsense. [more inside]
Jingle Bells and two other Holiday Classics
Gather your loved-ones around the fire, snuggle up with a blanket and a cup of cider, and listen to your favorite holiday melodies. [more inside]
In dulci jubilo
The 2-part version of the Praetorius classic, in a slightly almost painfully slow tempo. Still getting used to this self-overdubbing thing. [more inside]
Rest Ye Merry
Vaguely medieval and dirge-like. [more inside]
O Holy Night
Despite my lack of religion and the fact that this song has been done to death, I thought I'd give it a shot.
Es ist ein' Ros' entsprungen
German, anonymous, probably 1500s. Still learning to harmonise using GarageBand. [more inside]
Good King Wenceslas
Good king Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen
Turned his knickers inside out, 'cause his bum was freezin'
Tubular Carol of the Jingle Bells
Does just what it says on the box, and then some.
Crimbotone #1
A festive ringtone for your good cheer this yuletide, and gawd bless us ev'ry one.... [more inside]
Tubular Reich
Gets Better Project Song
My attempt.
Ring My Tubular Bell
I know this is completely not what the challenge is but I couldn't help myself. My sincere apologies.
Tubular Bells - Toaster Oven
Part B of Tubular Bells -- from about 1:00 to 1:50 with its driving metronomic pulse and the sudden bark of the overdriven guitar -- reminds me of one of our kitchen appliances. Includes bombastic announcement. [more inside]
Tubular Balls
A backing track for the November 2012 Challenge, namely the iconic piano riff from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells Pt. 1. [more inside]
It Gets Better
Wrote this tune early in the month, shortly after seeing the Challenge announcement, and would've posted it much sooner, but other commitments plus a dose of good old fashioned procrastination delayed the recording until this afternoon. The last day of the month, of course! Just in under the gun, then, is my submission for this month's Mefi Music Challenge.
Just Wait
I'm really new at all this, but I thought I'd put something together for the It Gets Better challenge. My first MeFiMusic song.
It Gets Better
This is a seed, an idea for a chorus that I'm offering up either for collab or for someone else to take it somewhere and give it a damn good shagging. I got the idea almost immediately upon reading unSane's post and recorded this on the fly in an hour or two today in between cooking dinner. It's as rough as the proverbial badger's arse, but there is something there worth exploring. Perhaps it could get better....
The Unholy Moon Battle of Parnassus
REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME SATAN AND JESUS JOINED FORCES TO DEFEAT THE NAZI ALIEN ARMY ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON?

47 percent - vampire deer
the bass, the lead synth and the odd chant of 47 percent all have tritones
Devil
A short rap song about the devil for the music challenge. [more inside]
One Afternoon
Short, sweet, and chock full of tritones.
Karma Police
Last minute entry. This was supposed to be, and will eventually be, an a capella/choral twofer with Fitter Happier, but I wasn't able to finish it in time. [more inside]
ian curtis' bathroom surprise
Oh shit. I lost the power supply to the br-532 in the move, so to be econimical i got a br-800 which arrived this week.. i recorded all this within the last 2 hours and about a half hour ago realized i had no idea how to get it off the damn thing. turns out it was the same way as the 532 but to make a short story short used the mixing on the 800 and um.. here we go.. straight off the br-800.. also played bass for the first time in 500 years
Lucky
another stab at the July/Aug challenge. [more inside]
Fitter, Happier, World Famous
Like all supergroups, the OK LA MeFi Action Band sometimes pares itself down to a solo performer and producer arrangement. Nobody leaves the room, you understand, but everyone takes a drink and everyone but me holds their breath. [more inside]
Let Down
Lofi Computer stumbles on.
Exit Music (for a Film)
Another track from Lofi Computer. [more inside]
The Tourist
The lovely closing track of OK Computer, re-imagined as some sort of throwback synthpop thing. [more inside]
Electioneering
It's a pretty dented-up song as it stands. I submit my version with all its dings and dents, though, because I'm up against the deadline.
Karma Police
Well, here it is. I just couldn't pull off any of the ideas I had to make my cover unique, but I really didn't want to fail the challenge completely. So here's my crappy, iPad recorded version of the tune. [more inside]
Karma Police
Here there be sludge. [more inside]
Electioneering
Not my favourite Radiohead tune, I'll tell you that much. [more inside]
Fitter happier and more malicious
Sulking straggler throws hat in challenge ring. [more inside]
Paranoid Android
The epic second track off the Roddy's O-Face record. It's pretty hefty compared to the rest of the songs, so make sure you can handle a solid minute and forty five seconds. [more inside]
Climbing Up the Walls
My submission, just under the wire. Improvised into my phone just now, while fighting dizzy spells and having just submitted to a biopsy procedure. This is also my first Mefi Music submission.
Fitting.
Fitting.
The Tourist
Recorded in my bathroom. [more inside]
Paranoid Android
My song for the OK Computer challenge. Pretty similar to the original, but with my own personal touches here and there. I performed everything, and recorded it in Logic Pro 9. [more inside]
Airbag
My contribution for the July challenge. Just a few pianos and vocals. Thanks JaiMahodara for singing. [more inside]
No Surprises
I downloaded a karaoke file to help find out how the arrangement was put together (although the file I downloaded seems to have some odd deviations from the original track). Somehow I ended up rearranging the tracks and assigning them to string quartet, woodwind, church organ, marimba and dulcimer. And TR808. Not real, of course. I liked the way it sounded enough to keep it.
And then I put vocals on it, and I don't know whether it didn't all go (as Satie would put it) au form du poire. [more inside]
Airbag
Sweet, I tracked down the opening track off Lofi Computer. [more inside]
No Surprises
I really have no explanation for what I was thinking on this.
Subterranean Homesick Dylan
It's well known that Radiohead went to Bob Dylan for inspiration on the title of Subterranean Homesick Alien; it's less well known that they actually lifted the song structure and lyrics themselves from this rare demo recording. [more inside]
Fitter Happier ((Russian language version))
My assigned tune from OK Computer. For mouth bow and Russian vocal. Video here.
karma kops
I downloaded a random MIDI file of Radiohead's Karma Police and sent it, almost raw, to this robot xylophone which couldn't understand most of the file. It sounds terrible.
There's also a boring video version.
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Version # 7248 of this song. My entry into the OK Computer MeFi Challenge. [more inside]
Airbag(ft The Dev Cave)
My cover of Radiohead's Airbag for the July 2012 MeFi Music Challenge. [more inside]
(half) lucky
As sang by the paranoid android. Right before running out of battery.
SubHoAl
MeFi Music Challenge July 2012 cover of "Subterranean Homesick Alien" off of Radiohead's OK Computer. [more inside]
Karma Police (Tragically Straight Version)
A little spit-polish on the learning-to-play-it demo I recorded after I got the assignment. I had to get it mixed and off the desk before I spent the rest of my life adding the goofy little fills I missed the first time through. [more inside]
Electioneering
After many failed attempts, here is my contribution to the project. [more inside]
