MP3 For PowerPillFist

PowerPillFist: Here's a downloadable mp3 version of 'Jung Jip Jim Jeree' made fresh to order.

Jung Jip Jim Jeree

Here's a little tune I've had kicking around my laptop for a while. Nothing too extravagant but there's something cool about it. I made it with Garageband. I meant to type 'Jungle' for the title but forgot the 'le' but I'll let it slide. Here's an illustration of Carl Jung to provide some eye candy to this otherwise vanilla looking post.

Song Off 2 Entry - Big Chief Thunder Pussy

Duel!

My friend emailed me this...

I Challenge You...

TO A SONG OFF!

Here are the rules:

*You have until this weekend to make an entirely original composition
*It has to all have been created this week (I started yesterday)
*Upon completion, we will share our respective song on the internets (I am not sure where yet)
*It has to all be done on a computer -- no real instruments
*That is all

Do you accept this challenge?

I accepted. Here's my submission. I made it with Garageband. It sounds like early Lee Perry and The Ventures except nowhere near as good as either. Having said that enjoy!



Here's a picture of my collaborator.

Zyzzlevaria National Anthem Backing Track

Mystery Hunt was great this year even though a cold and a snowstorm kept me from attending the final day, but in the 2 days I was there I learned a dumpster's worth of new things.

To those who I haven't hyped the event up in person it's basically 2 to 3 days of solving hundreds of really, REALLY, challenging puzzles with people who have some affiliation with MIT. You learn a ton about problem solving, you eat a lot of junk food, and you make some really nice and brainy new friends.

In one puzzle. We had to create a national anthem for the mythical nation of Zyzzlevaria. There were restrictions to make it just a little bit challenging. You had to rhyme Zyzzlevaria twice, use 8 words with 2 z's in them, and use two instruments that have the letter z in it.

I teamed up with two girls, Becca and Kate(?), and we collaborated on a song. They provided vocals and I made the backing track. I didn't ask them if they were cool with me posting the song with their vocals. The whole thing was rushed so their vocals aren't the best and I think they might be a little embarassed by them so I'll only post the instrumental.

The entire production took about 3 hours. Anyway here's the backing track I cooked up in Garage Band. No samples in this one. It's all midi. Bang this one in the club royalty free.
