I’m home on fall break this weekend so I made use of my recording equipment this afternoon. A few hours of messing around produced these three songs, the music and lyrics of which have been scattered about in the notes I keep. There are some lengthy instrumental interludes that are a bit plain, but I’d like to add some strings or piano to fill those out.
Also, if you navigate to https://mail.google.com/ instead of http://mail.google.com, your entire session will run securely, although with GMail, there still might be an internal frame that’s running plain old insecure http.
Here’s a post of several MP3’s I’ve made over the past few years. Riddled with mistakes, sloppiness, incompletion, and bad mixing, some are still perhaps worth a listen.

Me and James (mostly James) installed my subwoofer and amplifier in my truck yesterday. I am quite pleased with it, kicks very hard at high volumes and sounds very clean at normal volumes. At very high volumes my headlights dim slightly at every bass hit. I also fixed my third door handle.
Today I decided to implement Jeroen Wijering’s Flash Media Player, which is provided by my web host Dreamhost. I’m also using the Wordpress plugin WP-FLV, which basically lets me use a short <flv> tag instead of the lengthy code normally required to embed the player.
All of my songs will now be streamable from their respective blog posts, as well as downloadable as before. The category page for my compositions is now also an easy “playlist” where you can easily listen to all the songs I’ve ever posted. Here’s a sample embedded streaming MP3:
Using 2 overheads and kick mic. Idk, I’m missing the snare now, makes the whole thing sound more roomy and muddy I think. Obviously I just need more XLR cables.
