Alright, so it turns out that I lied. THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project. (http://yelyah.com/music/song/lucid-traum…

When I tweeted about maybe doing an Irish rap tonight, I wasn’t actually serious (though it has been on my todo list for a few years). But I took a walk, and the idea of going for it stuck in my head. So I started developing it on the walk and…

You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that. Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…

The 3rd song I ever really wrote. Someday I'll record the vocals to it and then we can all laugh together.

Let us celebrate our failures and our successes! I submit my failure here for consideration. I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…

This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over. And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100. 24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day. I wish…

It's the "do no harm" mix. Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43". Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…

I hereby name this the "bridge to nowhere" mix since it was the musical content of the bridge that I spent the most time on. If you've heard the song before, I've provided a shortcut video that plays the bridge from last night's version vs. tonight…

I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh? I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM. And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
