Large Hadron Collider song remixed Sep 26

I couldn’t let it lie. Having recorded my Large Hadron Collider Song the other day, I wondered if I could take advantage of my lovely Zoom H2recorder to up the production values a bit. Separating singing and playing the ukulele also meant I could do the latter marginally better – my inability to multitask different rhythms is why I could never be a pianist.

So, with nothing better to do this morning, I re-recorded the song with a more syncopated ukulele track. I added in some vocals – 12 rather than 40 voices – and then decided to fill the music out a bit with a guitar line (actually two tracks in the end). The guitar and the uke tuning weren’t quite together so I ended up lowering the pitch of the ukulele track by a semitone. What a cheat.

In case you can’t make out the words, I’ve published a Google Doc with the lyrics and chords.

Anyhoo, for your listening pleasure…

The best musical meme of 2009 Jan 04

On Friday, I didn’t clean the flat. Then I made a short video about it.

Marvellously, that wasn’t the end of it. A second verse in Exhibit A:

A third verse in Exhibit B:

Dino Ron in Exhibit C:

A special guitar in Exhibit D:

And a synth pop remix with new fourth verse in Exhibit E:

To join in with the most exciting musical meme of 2009 (so far), make a video, upload it to YouTube, and post it as a video response to the original video.

I didn’t clean the flat Jan 02

I was supposed to clean the flat today. I didn’t; I went shopping instead. If I had then written a very short song about it, it might go a little like this:

The audio synching is slightly out. This is something YouTube’s done rather than my ventriloquism skilz.
