I guess this is a bonus post...? Something like that...

Everything That I Do

AllThatIWant

I'm posting this specific song for extremely selfish reasons. I had some other stuff with, you know - fresher chords, melodies, all that stuff. Even stuff not, strictly speaking, about a girl. But for the most selfish of reasons, I have to post this song.

Because it has a sweet guitar solo.

Which is not to say I don't like it - it's simple, and the lyrics are a lot more emotionally straightforward than what I've been doing lately. Those just aren't the reasons I'm posting this one.

And of course maybe the guitar solo isn't that sweet - I'm not the greatest guitarist in the world, after all. I just haven't done one like this in a while, and I put some work into it.

Anyway. I hope you guys enjoy it. Here's a picture of Yngwie Malmsteen making fun of me.

The clock is ticking! Can our hero trim enough two-by-fours to stop the evil villain? Will he discover the secret of the mitre-joint in time to save the day?

This track is just a bunch of fruity loops synth presets dropped in a simple arrangement.

IGuessThatsOkay

I've been very distracted lately, so I wasn't able to really get something going and ready for King Solomon to work his magic on. I knew I wasn't going to have drums and bass on this for some reason, so I decided to go with what is I guess a more home recorded sound - no reverb anywhere on this track.

Anyway, it was all thrown together last night and tonight, but I'm pretty happy with this one. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Oh yeah - this is my 20th hellagem! My 11th since moving to weekly - I'm kinda surprised I've been able to keep it up. Hopefully you guys agree with me that I've kept the quality level up pretty well.. otherwise, uh. I'll move to Mexico.

Oooo. I got one.  ahem:

This is a track

I started way back...

a-way-back-back-a-wiggity-whack.

(dig it)

but my patience diminished

and so I never did-a-dip-done-done finished.

(I ,like, totally got hung up man. It's crazy.)

So I had this idea for a concept piece to do in fruity loops. It would be like Camille saint-saens' Carnival of Animals except about  beer instead of animals. And with cheezy synth loops instead of the symphony. So I started this track along time ago and never finished it. Today I just opened it up in my new FL Studio 8 and added some parts and then put a fat compressor on it.

This is about the pull. When you pour the beer from the tap. Its got all the cheezy gurgly, gloopy sound effects that I could find. It's only a minute long, but sometimes an idea only stretches a minute.
