Blogs are so passe and pretentious. Oh well, here's my blog about music that's stuck in my head when I wake up in the mornings along with adventures of the Cash family and wacky wacky crazy wacky shenanigans.
I have more music from Fiona Apple playing this morning.
This song is from her new album which is very dark and has a very long title. It's called "Jonathan" (the song, not the album)
So, according to my arduous and deep studies (google) Fiona Apple had a relationship with author Jonathan Ames. Could this song be about him? Don't know, but I do like how it sounds- especially the intro music, sounding like Jon Briony dissonant circus music.
Here is song number 3 for the week, from Ingrid Michaelson. Here is the YouTube video, and as with the other songs this week, I will have the video up as soon as we have it ready.
Also, it looks like I've compiled enough songs to do another compilation disc. That means there will be another amazing-zing-zing-zing giveaway-away-away-away (those are loud speaker echo sounds) so look for next post for that. Maybe you'll win something unbelievable...
Here's the second song for the week that we will attempt to perform. I assure you all videos will be posted as soon as we have them ready. It's easier to do it this way and there is less pressure to throw them together this way. But as the title promises, "I will" have them done soon.
For now enjoy today's song "I Will" from The Beatles.
Sooooooo....... my brain has played a cruel little trick on me and my family.
We are supposed to perform a song today that will be difficult to find the music to. The song is by a little group called 8in8. I've talked about this group a bit- it's a teaming of author Neil Gaiman, his wife Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds and Damian Kulash of OK Go.
8in8 was formed, by Amanda Palmer, as an effort to write and record 8 songs in 8 hours. They used Neil Gaiman for help with lyrics (he even sings a song!) and streamed the writing process live online. In the end, they were able to write 6 songs in 12 hours. I bought and downloaded the album here for a dollar:
I love this idea, and I think the songs turned out to be pretty good. Today's song (called "Twelve Line Song) is one of these songs. Here's a clip if you want to hear it. It's about a squirrel who commits suicide.
As promised, here's our version of the song. Such a strange little song- we had fun doing it anyway.
