bad song a day: Too Late

Day two of Bad Song A Day. Today's is maybe the worst thing I've ever done. But I was running out of time!

song: intoxicatingly beautiful women

So I've started a new project on the project page called "Bad Song A Day" where I write a bad song each day and record it. This is the first song. It's called Intoxicatingly Beautiful Women.

originals: Inception

So for a while I had a segment on TurnOnStudios.com called 'Music Mondays' where each Monday I wrote a song and recorded it and uploaded it. This started sometime in July and I had a bunch of songs stashed away to upload around Halloween time. So, at a loss for lyrics, I decided to just steal some from the trailer I was obsessed with at the moment.

Ta da: Inception.

originals: Mr. Maydoff

This was the second song of Music Mondays about Bernard "Backstreet Boy" Maydoff.

originals: Why Do All The Trees Die

So while I was still working on Music Mondays, I wrote this song while riding the 24x on my way to a modern poetry class I was taking over the summer. I thought it would be fun to write a religious song that ended on a really sad note. In my head, it was a joke. But after recording it and uploading it, no one understood it to be a joke.

So this is a really serious song about God and trees.

originals: Things That Go Woah in the Night

So just at the conclusion of TurnOnStudios.com, I wrote this song as a part of the 13 Days 13 Shorts celebration (I think. I can't really remember). But nonethelessness it's a song about critters in the wild during Autumn.

covers: 9 Crimes

So back when I was trying to get TurnOnStudios.blogspot.com going (where things were getting uploaded daily), I had an idea for something called Saturday Lounge where a bunch of people get together and just play music. In my head it would be like Arcade Fire's concert in that elevator in France or wherever.

But it didn't really work out. None the less, I recorded three covers on my own. The first cover was of Damien Rice's 9 Crimes.

covers: When The Roses Bloom Again

Still hoping people would show up for the Saturday Lounge, I recorded a Wilco/Billy Bragg cover.



I should mention that I never formally invited anyone to the Saturday Lounge so it's no one's fault but mine.

covers: Lay Lady Lay

Here is the last song I recorded for the Saturday Lounge after realizing the project was a complete bust, that no one was going to show up and that nothing matters.

Enjoy.

covers: You Wouldn't Like Me

If you know me, you know that I love Tegan and Sara. Like I have a weird teenage girl obsession with Tegan and Sara. So when I was bumming around my house in San Jose for a week with a bunch of bruised music insturments laying around (including some damaged microphones which explains this song's fuziness), I decided to record a bunch of Tegan and Sara covers.

Because a lot of them turned out pretty terrible (which I'll blame on the broken insturments), I uploaded the "good" ones.

covers: You Went Away

Here's another Tegan and Sara cover.

covers: Call it Off

I thought it would be fun to record Call it Off on Amir's broken 12 string guitar.



And here's a more "mellow" version of that cover I recorded just after.

original: I Wish

This is a song I wrote/recorded while an episode of This Sh*t is Raw was compressing.

general covers: Dreaming of You

Alright, to kick off this page, I am gonna post a cover of the Coral's Dreaming of You I recorded years back. I think this was sometime around Sophomore year in college or something. Anyhow, here it is.

it's tune to start

Hello, everyone.

I'm writing these introductory posts in order and, as you can probably tell, I'm really running out of ideas.

Here is where I will be posting any songs or albums that I am working on. Also, if I start any music projects, I will be keeping track of them here. If you want to see more from a collection of music, just click the label at the bottom of the page. Or at least that's how I'm kinda sure blogspot works.

Enjoy!
