figured I'd throw these out there and see what you guys think about them.. here are a few songs I've made in the last 6 months or so. positive/negative feedback gladly accepted

(NOTE: you cannot stream them, they'll be 2 seconds long)
stuff I've written:
mayday!
blue line
calypso
platmando
hand

covers/misc:
the wolf is loose < - mastodon cover
mississippi queen < - mountain cover
octojam < - cherub rock esque riff manipulated into some strange jam with octave fuzz :p
the wolf is loose < - mastodon cover

If any of the guitar players want to know what any specifics are lmk. All drums are programmed by me on the laptop and all bass/guitar is played live mic'ed into my laptop, no EQ, raw tracked and non-mastered


Update:
Messing around with new looping pedal.. not really a song and it was done in one take so you can hear the tap dancing I'm doing to make the loops work. It was all done on one guitar though and straight through so I'm pretty jazzed by it. I'm going to turn this into a full song at some point.

feast or famine?

thanks rick, that track took a lot of blood lol, my fingers were not used to the rigors of slap bass after taking a long hiatus on the instrument

Mayday is a very fun, funky song. Great job on the bass work.

The fuzzy pumpkin smashup was very cool too.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

:cool:

I hate ezdrummer.. it sounds so fucking fake no matter what package I try. The drumkitfromhell plugin for it is the only decent one and trying to program that is frustrating as hell.

i'm listening to mayday right now. it's sounds like kick back, tap your foot, have a beer, summer music to me. (yes, that's a compliment!) :)

For about 4 years seriously, I've been playing music all my life in one form or another (piano, bass) though

Thanks, I spend a lot of time dialing tone.. probably more than I should. There is no mixing or EQ, that's exactly how it comes off the microphone :)

Mayday kind of reminds me a little of some Primus tunes.

All of them are kick-ass, especially Platmando and Mississippi Queen!
