Left Over
After everything else, this is what’s Left.* This, such as it is, is the Song of the Month project for 2008. This is what happens when you have a tiny shred of talent, a little free time, and some fun playing some favorite songs. That’s all it’s supposed to be.
These songs were recorded roughly, wobbly and hastily in various bedrooms in 2007 and 2008. Some were actually recorded in a garage or two. At least one was recorded in a rainstorm. Another during some construction outside. The sound quality is what you might expect. Everything was recorded in one take, directly into the MacBook. GarageBand and iTunes handled the rest. It was all just done for fun, so don’t be upset if I butchered a favorite song of yours.
You’re welcome to grab the sample songs or get the zip of the whole thing. If you want a fancy jewel case insert, you can always just make a playlist in iTunes, use the print feature, choose the mosaic setting. Or you could download the pdfs of the insert, but they may print out a tiny bit smaller than they should, at least they did for me. This is a green release--no trees killed for envelopes, no fossil fuels burned shipping it to you. Clicky-click and enjoy!
Cheers!
