An ode to some of the more vibrant personas and memorable events in Metafilter history -- and an homage to the classic tune by The Nails. Lyrics with tremendous amounts of annotation inside.

A rough structural demo of one of the songs I've written this month.
Catchy, upbeat reflection on the simpler, softer times of my highschool
musical upbringing. Imagine this with a dozen people clapping and
singing along. And maybe an awesome guitar solo. I've still got three
weeks, after all.

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.

One of my bands,
The Man So Cool, did some recording a couple
weeks ago for a demo disc. We're still working on final vocals and
proper mixes, but this is a pretty good rough mix of one of the songs.
Links to the other three songs can be gotten
over
yonder.

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.

Absolutely ridiculous synth-and-spoken-word composition I recorded to
cut my teeth on Reason.

Running with the unofficial Christmas Comes Early themea one-off
from 2004, perfect for a mythical antichristmas album.

Working draft of an ode to those green-aproned mistresses of the coffee

The nice thing about a musical website like AT is that when you apologize for a lame failure to update, you can do it in song.

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.

Heavily manipulated wall of vocal harmony, runover, stabbed, and buried in a shallow grave.

I, too, recorded this song! It came out a little bit weird, which is probably appropriate.

This song is called mathowie's community blog, and it's about mathowie, and the community blog, but mathowie's community blog is not the name of the community blog, that's just the name of the song.
-
lyrical brilliance by It's Raining Florence Henderson, with extra bits of artistic license taken in the studio.
- Arlo-esque lead vocals by
French Fry, aka Alex Millard, aka my brother.

Working draft of a song I'm engineering—written by friend and former bandmate
Brian, who is on guitar and vocals, with keys added by moi.
Feedback/criticism desirable. This is my first real effort to play producer/engineer to someone else's material.

"Please stop the asshattery, love jessamyn"
Now there's a song that should be on MeFi Music.

Creepy, moody synthballad about geopolitical nuclear politics, circa March 2006.

Audio collage of some of the pieces of a live recording that landed on the cutting room floor. From my old band's final show.

Pithy titles and me: not talking right now. A catchy little pop tune about domestic surveilance.

By god, it's a bluegrass song! Thought of it because of
this superlative Williams interpretation.

Guitar instrumental from several years ago—improvised riff on Dr. Who, a theme from Final Fantasy 1 for the NES, and Pink Floyd's "One of these Days".

An acoustic rough draft—the first thing I recorded after I bought my first condesor mic. Pretty, improvised.

Fresh this evening. No good news today, for tomorrow's issue of
The Aural Times. Because the news sucks lately.

A short, pretty, desperate conversation about need and rejection. Plus arpeggios!

Singing and guitar and clapping and beerbottle flute and self-reflection. I posted this to the old music.metafilter.com back in 2003.

This is the first song I ever wrote. I was fifteen. I've come a long way, baby.

Cover of a gorgeous Wilco song. This is an extremely spartan interpretation. You may need to turn your volume up.

Surreal, ridiculous improvised mouth noise collage I made with my little brother several years ago. Inspired to post this by
this Eideteker track.

A little groove thing about the H5N1-positive German cat from awhile back. Beats via
Sheep Beats; newsclips via Google Video; questionable vocals via my larynx.

My little brother turned 23 this year, and I'm a cheapskate. Solution: record a song! Can be used for people named "Alice" and also in a pinch "Alan".

This is my former band,
Heat Lorraine. I'm lead guitar on this track.
We had broken up already when we played this show. There was a lot of resentment floating around. We'd all had a few drinks before we went on, but our lead singer (and rhythm guitarist) Brian was drinking with a vengence.
