Favorites

Been a while... Here are some of some of my favorites from round 1 and round 2.

Round 1 (spring 2006):

012 04-14-06 eye peach

006 04-08-06 my tv screens

025 04-27-06 totally aligned

033 05-05-06 misty highway

021 04-23-06 climbing mining



Round 2 (fall 2006):

008 11-17-06 can i be the one

005 11-14-06 rain delay

001 11-10-06 i've been gone

Starting Tomorrow: ROUND TWO!

Nearly 6 months later, I'm finally ready to jump in the ring once again.

Tomorrow begins Grazer's Song-A-Day-Part-2!

For those unfamiliar with "round 1," here is the original rundown:


"For the next however long, I'm going to try and write/record/post one song every day. Each song will have to be made up on the spot, lyrics improvised (for better or worse) as I record, and less than an hour spent on the whole process. Other than that, anything goes.

The songs will be sketchy, the lyrics will be good and terrible (...indecipherable...), and the melodies and vocals will be raw and often off-key, but they'll be in the moment and whatever I record first pass I'll have to work with in the overdubs.

Some days I won't be able to record, so I'll record an extra song (or songs) the day before or after to make up for it. I've given myself a seven song buffer.

Mostly just for fun, and practice, and why not?"


Same rules apply. I started recording a few days ago, and so far, I'm very happy with the results. Comments are open - please leave any thoughts you might have!

For posterity, here's a quick link list to some of my favorites from round 1:
(my favorites change all the time, this only reflects how I feel at present)



033 05-05-06 misty highway

021 04-23-06 climbing mining

012 04-14-06 eye peach

006 04-08-06 my tv screens

008 04-10-06 be my friend

025 04-27-06 totally aligned

032 05-04-06 goodbye lazy dream

Hiatus!

Well, it seems I've finally become too busy to do this every day. Nearly 40 songs, though - that was fun! I'll probably upload sporadically over the next two months, as I'll have time here and there, and I still have some songs to upload, so check back!

I may do another run come September....!

Update

Okay, back from Maine. Got a little behind due to the fact that I was not around any sort of recording or uploading equipment. Instead of uploading all the songs from the past week at once, I'm going to upload two a day until I'm caught up. Enjoy!

Song #038 05-10-06 burning couch

Song #037 05-09-06 dollar comb

Update

The video card on my desktop has died. I grabbed what I could from the hard drive, and I'm uploading and recording new songs from my laptop (which does not have protools, or a decent sound card). Please understand the drop in quality... Hopefully I'll get a new card soon!

Here is the last week of songs that I was not able to upload each day.
