Colonel Roger (is a Soldier from the Future (is a Cover)) by The Great Big Mulp

Kevin told us about:
I know this song has been uploaded right at the very end (if not shortly beyond) of the MeFi Music Challenge, but I went through a number of songs in the long debate to find a MeFite’s song to cover, eventually landing on the one that most frequently gets stuck in my […]

And Now She’s Gone by not_on_display

Hank emailed us this:
MeFi Music Challenge, Lyrics Flavor. Toe-tappin’ old-timey country happy blues. The lyrics challenge was great, especially for someone like me who HATES writing lyrics and singing them, but finds them a necessary evil.
Recorded over the course of a week, in-betweensies and in many rooms (you can hear my son saying something […]

Blue Train (the slow one) by flapjax at midnite

Bob told us about:
I loved baby_balrog and his band’s rollicking original of this tune. For this cover, I figured I’d take the train down another track: slowed way down (down on the ground), stripped way down (just vocal and strumstick), and with a little different shade of blue for the engineer’s hat.

Roads of Plenty

Priscilla sends us:
My attempt at the Metafilter lyric challenge First recording I’ve shared, so be kind!
Used Audacity to record it, tried doing two tracks, guitar and vocals, but my singing is even worse (hard to believe…) if I’m not playing the guitar at the same time. So after a few takes, this one came […]

The Worst Decision

Came across this today:
Laid-back, blues-inspired pop song for the June ‘08 lyric challenge. The phrase “life is all about conflicting desires” did not sink in initially. But on further reflection, I understood how this is true. Such conflict can lead to inertia or abdication of choice, resulting in disappointment.
I did […]

‘Till We’re Dead

This is an interesting post:
If a MeFite sticks earworm on me I am gonna put it on here for what of prying it out of my head.
Seriously though, awesome song.

Life

Found this post:
For this month’s LYRIC Challenge. Jessamyn’s comment was the spark that got this song going. This was also a chance to do a little strummin’ on my new Strumstick. I’ve been having fun with it. You might notice I seem to have bent the rule a bit. Not on purpose, though: […]
