Just came across this:
An a cappella arrangement of the Outkast release, somewhat inspired by Mat Weddle’s fantastic acoustic cover. I’m totally new to recording, so this was something of a learning experience for me. Hopefully I didn’t screw anything up too badly…

Sammie sent us a link to this:
I’ve decided to make lo-fi recordings of old songs I wrote in my 20s and early 30s. Many of these songs are between 15 and 20 years old and have not been preformed since they were written. The first one, “Photographing the Deceased Child,” is one of my oldest. […]

Thanks Priscilla, for pointing out:
WILDCARD challenge — again with the three part acapella harmony I was thinking of fun songs I used to sing along with and this one popped into my head. I was about to upload it and saw the contest. Talk about being tailor made…
Once again, this song is me […]

Here’s a great post:
This is another children’s song, and it’s even better than the last one. Induces uncontrollable giggling in test audiences - for the young, and the young at heart. Original composition, lyrics and arrangements by Meatbomb; accompaniment on short term memory by my good woman Dilafruz.

Cover of the Amos Lee song by the same name…. Or at least the first verse of it. Again, in three part harmony complete with background noise. I started to think about songs that I could actually sing tenor on and this one came to mind. Since the moment […]

Mel told us about:
Another true story from my family… Seems like forever since I posted a song. This is a true story, which happened in 1990, to my Dad’s old roommate from university. Common wisdom is that another man would not have been able to acheive what Alan achieved; a six mile swim […]

Hey Jude in three part (x2) harmony I watch “Across the Universe” and I couldn’t get this song out of my head. So I sang it… and sang it again.
I found out on this one that I really need to start singing with a click track, and that I’m badly in […]

Brian emailed us this:
One week after 9/11/01, upstate New York. Worrying, whinging and existential musing with my friends. Karen says, "At least I'm not dust in New York City." I wrote this while walking to work. It's changed many times since then. Recording details same as in previous song.
