Here it is, the completed NaSoAlMo playlist. Maybe one song is better than garbage… maybe. Probably not.
While I was at it I posted the four songs from October because… yeah.

All Done
The next NaSoAlMo post you see will be the final, finished playlist. I’m done!
Only One Song Left to Finish
Down to the home stretch for NaSoAlMo. Only one song left to go before I declare the thing done.
NaSoAlMo – Thanksgiving Day Music
I had 10 songs in progress. Now that I have no more opportunities to record vocals between now and the end of the month I had to drop one of the songs. I felt kinda bad about it. Losing one of the songs ruins a gimmick I was working with. Each song on the NaSoAlMo project will be 10 beats per minute faster than the song before it. So if song #7 is dropped the gimmick doesn’t work, get it?
Since today is Thanksgiving and we did not cook, I decided to take a few minutes and put together an instrumental to take the place of the vocal-less song. It is pretty lame, but it works. This was written, recorded, and mixed all today.
NaSoAlMo – New Song
This is song #9, but it is the seventh song finished this month. There should be at least one, more likely two additional songs before December 1st.
NaSoAlMo Song #6
I am going to post this even though alonetone.com is being really, really weird tonight.
If that doesn’t work then you can listen to this… it’s from soundcloud. I feel dirty posting anything from soundcloud. Every time someone uses soundcloud to embed a track onto their blog a kitten dies. Really. It’s true.
Now, if I told you that the lyrics to this turkey were based on an episode of The Walking Dead, you would be able to tell which one, right? (The title is a giveaway)
New Toys
So the two pedals I bought yesterday were used at a band practice last night. The tuner was no big deal, except that it is actually a bypass switch. When you turn it on the signal goes in but not out. I thought there was something wrong. I plugged in the input and switched it on, then plugged in all of my other pedals and turned on the amp and… nothing. It only took a minute to figure it out though.
As for the phaser… sah-WEEET.
I am hoping to mix a song for NaSoAlMo tonight. I’m telecommuting tomorrow too so hopefully I’ll make a big push to finish off the four remaining songs.
Before that though…
Chicken, quinoa, broccoli, and the Bruins (hopefully) kicking the crap out of the Penguins.
Song #5
I mixed the fifth song for November tonight. Not sure why I left the drums off of it until the very end. Also not sure if I like it without any drums until the very end.
NaSoAlMo – Four Songs Finished
I finished song #4 tonight. I recorded the leads and mixed it all down. Not sure if I like this one or not. I’m definitely on the fence.
NaSoAlMo Song #3
Did you hear that? I finally did it. I finally put a little backwards guitar onto a GarageBand file.
But wait, you can’t reverse an audio track in GarageBand. How did I do it?
Well, I’ll tell you!
I recorded a little lead guitar as the intro to this crappy song. I then exported just that 4-5 measure part to iTunes. I then took that audio file and loaded it into Audacity where I reversed it and saved it. Finally, I pulled the reversed file from Audacity into the GarageBand file and BOOM! Backwards guitar.
