Attention class! We're going to try something new in today's post.
I got this idea from the many ___-a-day blogs. There's painting-a-day, otherthing-a-day, even blog-a-day blogs. I thought-- what can I do "a-day"? I realized the answer was nothing (besides a badly-written, too-short blog post, that is). So I thinks to myself, what can I do "a-week"? The answer, again, was nothing. So then I thinks to myself, I thinks, maybe I can do something "a-week" really terribly, and by the time people start reading, it won't suck as much, eh?
Thus song-a-week was born.
This week's song originated out of frustration. Tired of attempting to butchercover songs, I decided to butcher an original song, and claim it's supposed to sound that bad (it's lo-fi!). I call it "beatbox1," because a fake song doesn't need a real title. Also because it's one person beatboxing. Because I couldn't figure out how to record instrument. Or sing real words. Maybe I should shut up and play the song:
.. In a minute
OK, here:
As you can hear, it's terrible, albeit surprisingly catchy after the fourth or fifth time. I want to state, for the record, that I can write and perform better songs (as could most primates). I just haven't yet figured out how to record them.
