"Singles This Year" : 2008

(So far) are all tunes written this year. Got more in the works and might plop
some re-makes from long-ago and/or lyrics written in 2005/2006 that never got
music applied all the way and recorded. But using this collection as dumping
ground for all the 2008 original recordings (for now).

(Life Is Like) Hard Candy    (2:51)   regular rock in 2/2 someone called zappa-ish   .Lyrics.
(...born, growing up, adulthood, middle age, golden years, and then...)

It's So Hard    2:51   rhythm guitars and bass for adult pop-rock-jazz-funk?   .Lyrics.
(...some guy's hard luck story I guess, bass runs in F-minor all over the verses...)

Charity Does Not Begin At Home    3:09   trying to be funny medium soft jazzy-folk   .Lyrics.
(...kinda/sorta "assignment" by guys in multi-trackers forum, started writing again anyway...)

RedChair    3:47   only one acoustic, one electric, fretless bass   .No.Lyrics.
(...since couldn't do anthing for months, once a day for 2 weeks played this a couple times...)

Data Drive (vocal)    1:37   twisted effects editing on vocal track   .Lyrics.
(...words are from some users's manual explaining to how to safely remove hardware...)

Data Drive (raw)    1:37   the raw one-take Roca being mic'd and only eq'd   .No.Lyrics.
(...so you can hear how to take what could have been a nice song and ruin it with above crap...)

Data Drive (original)    1:45   lost version of the original jam done a month earlier   .No.Lyrics.
(...found while sorting through all these folders of started and back-burnered projects...)

Big Beat    2:01   the only time going to use drum program, never again   .No.Lyrics.
(..."BigBeat" the name of the program so just started jamming to synth and guitar rhythms...)
(...and is the only time and am never going to do that again...)
