Exit Music (Again?)
It's time to come clean... [more inside]
Electioneering
If any of our previous posts for this challenge have been successfully creepy, then hopefully, this will be the stuff of nightmares... [more inside]
Let Down
Time for a short break from the creepy. Turns out, all that needed changing was one word, and this was actually a bit of Mississippi Delta Blues in disguise--mostly because nobody in Mississippi has ever heard of the word "drivel." Sit back on your front porch with a cool glass of lemonade for this one. [more inside]
Airbag
I learned how the play the song the proper way, but then I threw it all out the window for... whatever this is. [more inside]
Climbing Up The Walls
For some reason, finding out that the song was inspired by a moribund sanitarium brought to mind monks.
Lucky
From sort of creepy to really creepy. From cover/arrangement/orchestration to abstraction. This is not your Major's Lucky. [more inside]
Paranoid Android
My attempt at the Bohemian Rhapsody of my generation. [more inside]
Exit Music (for a Film)
It's probably a different film now (could still be Romeo & Juliet, but they might have to use chainsaws now). Headphones are best, for maximum crunchification. [more inside]
KARMA
take a trip with me... inside your mind [more inside]
Subterranean Homesick Alien
In the six months they were together, Roddy's O-Face went through three bassists, the last of whom insisted on being called "The Colonel" at all times. This was a song about the town they were all going to high school in. [more inside]
Lucky
Forgive me gatecrashing the challenge. I've never consciously heard "OK Computer" or this track. I just read through the lyrics and this one resonated for some reason - serendipitously enough given it's Friday 13th! Hope no-one is offended by this effort bearing absolutely no relation to the original other than the lyric. Feels a bit like I've drunkenly decided to juggle with some Meissen china or something... [more inside]
Paraynoid Randroid
You get what you pay for.
Karma Police
Here's another Roddy's O-Face track off their Lofi Computer album! If I remember right, Ned wrote this one, and it's about his ex-girlfriend's cop dad and the time he drew a magic marker Hitler stache on her at a party when she passed out, or something like that. [more inside]
Paranoid Android
My allotted song for the July Metafilter Music Radiohead Extravaganza. [more inside]
No Surprises
As recorded in Tom's mom's garage by the infamously unfamous punk ingenues Roddy's O-Face. From their first and only album, Lofi Computer. [more inside]
Exit Music (For a Campfire)
So, y'all know that Thom Yorke has a ridiculous power and range to his singing right? Well I don't. [more inside]
Let Down
My attempt at the July challenge... [more inside]
let down - vampire deer (radiohead)
my cover of the radiohead song ...
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien, the mariachi cover. [more inside]
Climbing up the Walls
It's always best when the light is off. [more inside]
Karma Police
Fun with samples on my entry for the MeFi Music Album Challenge. [more inside]
Post War Glamour Girl
My version of the John Cooper Clarke poem. Swearword in the third line, so be warned parents, workers and those of a jumpy disposition. This is the first MeFiMu challenge I've ever completed. [more inside]
Drive She Said
Submission for the John Cooper Clarke June challenge. This was a lot of fun to do.
belladonna
I don't think it meets the bar MajorDundee set, but I gave it a shot. Adapted the words from Belladonna. Learned a lot! [more inside]
Night People
...funky but neat. A thrown-together (2 hours from soup to nuts) attempt to reflect the wretched cheesiness of the world John Cooper Clarke depicts in this one. I guess I could have added a little more Gorgonzola, but, eeeeuuw, it's high enough....even for Mr Cavendish and the enigmatic Elizabeth...
In Your Eyes
This song was inspired by our singer's video chats with her long distance beau. It is on the new Red On Strike album Her Own Little World, now available for download on Bandcamp. [more inside]
A Game of Chess
The sophomore track/movement in my concept album/piece, built around The Wasteland. Finalizing the mix took a bit longer than expected, so I didn't get it in before the deadline for the challenge. Boo. Nevertheless, Expect some surprises. [more inside]
Prologue/ The Burial of the Dead
Movement/track 1 of my new, MeFiMusic Challenge-inspired concept piece/album based upon The Wasteland. [more inside]

April Challenge - lyrics from "The Wasteland" [more inside]
Knock Upon The Door
My submission for April 2012's music challenge: a small, short song based on a small, short portion of T. S. Eliot's poem The Wasteland, without modification. [more inside]
I knew nothing
Made in one night and it probably shows. I liked the tacky sound so I kept it.
Millimeters of Mercury — El Amor Es Un Juego (Love is a Game)
Song en español for the March challenge. I-V-vi-IV all the way.
Lyrics and English translation in more info. [more inside]
The One to Make You Whole
My entry into this month's challenge is actually something I'd set out to do a while back. My variation on the four chords are: D Am Bb G. [more inside]
Four Chord Flower Song
For the March challenge, the four chords of pop success arranged in a slow sort of orchestral ambient thingy. [more inside]
What You Expected
Four chords in non-repeating order* [more inside]

Ice Ice Baby
A folk cover of Ice Ice Baby. Yo, VIP, let's kick it! [more inside]
Hero (cover)
First album I ever bought for myself was Mariah Carey's "Music Box", and it was mostly for the single "Hero". Accordingly, I had to cover that for this month's challenge. I wasn't sure what the hell to do with it, so I recorded an instrumental with: drums, piano, upright bass, melodica, two acoustic guitars, baritone uke, banjo, harmonica, another harmonica in a different key, some flute thing I found, thumb piano, and theremin and also some more theremin, almost all of those just playing improvised melody takes. [more inside]
vampire deer - take a giant step
the first album i ever bought was the monkees' first album, in '66, i think - music by carole king, lyrics by gerry goffin [more inside]
Airport
It was 1978. I was 13. And I bought my first album, The Motors, because I loved this song more than life itself. [more inside]
Streamline Train
A cover of the first single I (we) ever bought.
It was a 78.
We chipped in together to raise the necessary 7 shillings and sixpence. Ken Colyers Skiffle group.
In 1957 if I remember rightly.
Age shall not wither them. [more inside]
two princes
February Challenge - "What was the first single you ever bought?" [more inside]
Troll's Theme Song
Originally titled Möbius Madness, this recursive ditty has been repurposed for the January Challenge. Truncated from its original length of 26 minutes to meet the 10MB size restriction, Troll's Theme Song is meant to demoralize the listener; it may cause confusion, insanity, and bleeding of the ears. [more inside]
Open Eyes (Auld Lang Syne 2011-2012)
Since Demons of Gyrophonia won’t be together to record this year’s Auld Lang Syne, I figured I’d put my own spin on it by…well, combining a bunch of other people’s ideas. [more inside]
Auld Lang Syne, ragtime fingerstyle arrangement
It's been five years since my last attempt at arranging Auld Lang Syne. I thought I might try to start a small fire under it this year. [more inside]
Christmas Island
I made my children to sing on another Christmas song. In three-part harmony.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
very big delicious christmas part 5 (oh god, yr uncle's drunk)
mashy mashed sound collage the fifth featuring our cat the big delicious on solo cat voice. [more inside]
Jingle Bells
Impromptu version of the holiday classic. This closed out the night for the Smoke Benders' last gig of 2011. Video here.
Suzanta
Merry Cohenmas! The creation date on the lyrics file is 2004, which means I've had at least six better holiday song ideas than this. At least the Bengals still aren't very good.
