The 2011 song-a-day-a-thong

This is Eric.  Today’s song seemed so cool in progress but ended up the exact saccharin crap I keep writing over and over.  Tomorrow I’ll stop trying altogether.

Day 5 - no one else - The suggestion word was “wish.”

This is Eric. You might not know me unless you follow my Space:1999 fan site, but I’m also writing a song a day.

Day 4 - Josey - Suggestion was “Josey Wales and the Pussycats” which is more than one word. Dumb, overwrought song.

Day 3 - Radiowaving - I cheated and didn’t use the suggestion. Because I didn’t know it. This is the only good song I’ve done so far.

Day 2 - Hollyann - The suggestion was “carburetor.” It’s in there.

Day 1 - Day One - It would take too long to explain the title. Embarrassing song.

Here are my first three (including another attempt at recording “stormy” but I’m still having mic issues). They aren’t the most profound and complex of songs, but it’s hard to write a song in a crowded airport or in the quiet car of a high speed train. Or at all. 

A couple more coming later today. At least one more? I’m not sure how behind I am! WHAT DAY AM I IN? WHERE AM I?

I’m not sure how to embed the player, so you’ll have to go to http://www.archive.org/details/SongADayAThong to check them out.

Donovan here, 

so maybe tumblr was not the best platform for this since we only get to load one MP3 a day. I’m pretty sure I have been stealing laurelins posts so I’m trying to figure out how to make really simple videos. Another exciting development is that Eric Shiveley will be joining us. Even more reason to figure out how to make simple videos. Later today we will start seeing some serious posting!

Had trouble loading my video. but its been a really long drunk day. This wouldn’t have taken so long but I dont Know how to tumble! I will figutre it out tomorrow. This is the song.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61VlCpvvHPg
