I am documented on the internet
 
Now that I think about it that would make a great/typical name for an emo/post-rock band.

There use to be a thread with mbers bands but I can't find so I'm making another.

The recordings aren't as great as I'd like but who cares. And I don't really write emo songs but that is an Ettil Vyre/Tipping Canoe record I'm holding.

bardonodude 12-20-2009 07:15 PM

i think they sound nice. and have you been in any other bands before?

I was almost certain I'd read through this thread months ago but evidently it was an e-dream. I like the songs on your myspace, Catie. Really liking Falling Down at the moment. Something about your voice I really like. Downloading the zip now.

This isn't with a band but some of the songs were played with one last summer and we're getting back together this summer. Some tracks are just loops I thought sounded good. A few songs need vocals added to them and there's a bunch I'm working on.

A demo I recorded in high school as well as a Flatt and Scruggs and a Sleepytime Trio cover, which I guess is the most relevant to this forum.
To swim/Catie: Mount Eerie was one of the best shows I've been too. Good stuff.

swim 04-07-2010 03:42 PM

Thanks for the kind word guys, I appreciate it.
+81 and radioburning I really dig your stuff.
That mount eerie is part of a phil elverum tribute.

^new songs put up here.
I have about 5-7 more written that I need to record and I might get all fancy and buy an 8-track and get these pressed. I'm overly proud to say the least.

TheBig3 09-06-2010 10:45 AM

Jesus, Swimmy, I kinda dig this "trains" song.

Is that you singing?

swim 09-06-2010 03:41 PM

Thank you. It sure is.

I will take you up on that. I would really like to go road tripping but I don't have the means or the time as of right now.

Dylanist 09-06-2010 11:55 PM

I'd love to be able to hear the vocals... try double tracking and recording the guitar first and then singing.

swim 09-07-2010 10:21 AM

I'm a sucker for lofi so I doubt that even if I easily could that I would put the vocals in the foreground. I hope to use something that lets me record two separate tracks simultaneously in the near future. But freebase mastered my first effort, which was super rad of him, which kind of solves this problem:

Dylanist 09-07-2010 10:30 AM

couldn't get to it. But if you want to know a really good and cheap lo-fi set up for exactly what you're doing then read up. Go to your local game store. Buy two usb mics (Rock Band or Guitar Hero work great, I have a generic Konami) should cost you about 20 dollars (try not to pay more than 10 bucks a piece).

Buy or build (steel rods and a paper towel tube work well) two mic stands. One for your guitar and one for your vocals. If you have a PC (mac works too it's just trickier), plug the two mics into the respective usb ports and they'll install the drivers they need automatically. Get the Acoustica Mixcraft demo (works forever, just create a new account on your computer when the trial expires) and arm both usb ports to record. Works with audicy too I think. Probably works with Garage Band, etc.

BAM. A bonified redneck/hipster/lo-fi recording set up ready to go.

Charlemagne 09-13-2010 07:53 PM

I really like your voice and guitar playing, it's really warm and soothing. Kind of reminds me of Clyde Petersen's voice, and that makes me really happy. Excellent stuff.

+81 09-13-2010 10:30 PM

Good stuff, Catie. I've already expressed my love for Manifest This, such a great song. I've also been enjoying A Million Piece lately.

Here's some stuff I've been working on.

send me a download of blood & milk. yes.

I appreciate the kind words especially from Amie the Tiger.

Haha, Amie....

I need to figure out how to make my stuff downloadable on my myspace. If anyone is interested there's some free tracks on my last.fm though.

Swim, do you think you could post lyrics to any of your songs?

swim 03-13-2012 11:29 PM

These are from my senior year of high school and freshmen year of college
untitled | CLLCT

Indian Summer
_____________
my initials are etched into wrist
like im suppose to be here
and it makes me feel at home
because you know, i've had my doubts
and your name cascades across the sky
is it any wonder you're so often on my mind
but truth be told
i mostly day dream about riding bikes
and hopping trains and climbing trees and sailing away
hardly ever about falling in love with you
but sometimes i do
but i make the worst impressions
and i make the worst decisions
and i get stuck on the s's
so self conscience of what everyone will think
so i don't do anything




A Million Pieces
________________
if you don't come home in a million pieces
i just might be the happiest person that you'd ever seen
if the sky don't fall right before us all
i just might have to jump for joy
because its the little things
its the space in between
the bicyle wheel that spins round and round
till the street lights come on and we have to go home
its a wonder we made it out without and broken bones
i pinned you up against the fence with my bicyle
i pushed my hand through a window
you ran over my fingers
i got 4 stitches in my chin
and knocked out my 4 front teeth when i was 4 years old
we all have stories from when we use to be brave
be brave




Tapes
_____
Some friends fit best inside an old and dusty tape deck
you can pick right up wherever you left off no matter what has happened
but some people you know have been taped up at the tabs
so what a pleasant surprise to find that one of your favorites
has been replaced with something you don't like or recognize
it's like going back to some place you haven't been since you were a litte kid
and you were so amazed but know you're just unimpressed
you fit best inside an envelope
sealed and stamped and ready to go anywhere but home
instead you sit in the top dresser drawer safe and insecure




drive
_____
my favorite thing in the whole world
is the 3 o'clock in the morning drive home
from a basement show in a town im not from
and i don't know anyone
but right the windows are rolled down
and my feet are on the dash
the music is real soft
and im having these really cheesy super epic thoughts
there is a warmth inside my chest
that can't be reproduced by alcohol or sex
i could drive home for the rest of my life
because the last i want to do
is climb up the stairs
fall into bed
wake up in a town i don't really love




kudzu wish
__________
kudzu swallowed the old abandoned house
down the road that no one takes
so no one sees it anyway but me
and i was thinking
it's everything we ever wanted to be,
beautiful in our demise
sure the flames will rise high and fast
and be a sight to see
but what are you left with and who did you impress
these empty downtown buildings
whose outlines vaguely touch sky
are being smothered by flashing lights
and peoples need to buy
what are there for
what are they good for
but to windows out one by one




get lost
________
lying on our backs
staring at the clouds
wondering if there's anybody looking down fascinated by the shapes on the ground
i want to get lost in these woods
but you and i both know
that that's not possible
if you walk for long enough
you will end up in someone's backyard or another parking lot
they're paving over our memories
what's good for most must be good for me
lying on our backs
staring at the ceiling
wondering if these dots were motivated
if they could come together
form a picture
be something useful
i want to get lost in myself




concrete
________
(segue from Kicking and Screaming)
everybody everywhere wants to be immortal
hardly ever in the flesh in blood
more like a cheesy song
or a pretentious book
or some bathroom graffiti:
you are whore you ****ing the slut
and the world should know as they take a piss
me, i want to live in concrete
i want people to read my name
as they walk down the street
place their hands where ive placed my mine
step where i have stepped
everytime i get my chance
that i make my stand
they just wipe it away
and fill in the gaps
like i was never there
like i don't exist
don't they understand what this means to me
i couldn't care less about the aesthetics of public property
me, i want to live in concrete
i want people to read my name
as they walk down the street




little kids
___________
we could explore these woods like we were little kids
looking for something so much bigger than ourselves
we don't care if get lost
weve got all day
weve got the rest our live
we could follow this creek until it hits the stream
it must know something that we don't
to have it made it that far
we have this obsession with going back and fixing our mistakes
if you could do it again it would all end up the same




falling down
____________
i walked across town to see on your birthday
but people just kept trying to get in my way
i wouldn't let them no i cut them down
don't get my wrong i would never close my eyes
and shoot my way out of a crowd
i was swift and just
i was quick and fair
i made the best decision
for me for you for everybody
but i am made out to be the bad guy
we are so far beyond good and evil
i gave them everything and i have nothing in return
im falling down you
it's the one thing
it's the last thing
it's the least that i could do




moutain lion
____________
i don't have a single doubt in my mind
you could have been the greatest mountain lion
but they took away your potential
do you think knew
do you think could've known
you couldve ate for days and days
and you would've made this town flee
you would've been an urban legend
all i can say and i can do
is tell you that im sorry
if you like we can cuddle
and watch the birds
you can have as many you like
as many as you can catch
all i can do is tell you that im sorry and that
i don't have a single doubt in my mind
you could have been the greatest mountain lion




flapjack
_______
you had to leave the home that you loved when you were just a boy
you became a land locked sea lover but you never gave up
i could only hope to be half of half of half as bold as you
yea i've got a lot to learn
but i am setting my sails in the right direction
paddling as hard as i can
i will only turn around when i am sunburnt and blistered and ****ing starving
life is a matter of relevance it's all how you look at it
sometimes you turn your head to the side
when you're going through the dumster in some town that you're not from
you were a landlocked sealover and that just wasn't good enough
look how far you have come




pictures
_______
take a picture one year straight at the same time at the same place
write down your thoughts at the end of the day
don't forget to leave in the embarrassing bits
we will shove these things into boxes and underneath our beds
try so hard to just forget
i have this obsession with memory but i don't take these precautions
i rather let time have its way with me
i can learn from my mistakes
you better believe it
i can repeat them all again
so take a picture everyday and just throw it away




121 & 36B
_________
(segue from death of a salesman)
i don't want to talk about this in retrospect when we're old and stiff and don't give a ****
i don't want to plant my roots firm and thick and steady and static
i don't want to stare out this window one more day
i want to ride across this country in a little pick up truck l
ying in the back at night stare up at the sky
and i can only focus on airplanes
i wander what they're thinking
it must go something like
im not where i want to be but pretty soon i'll get there
yea pretty soon things are going to be fine
i'll have enough money enough friends enough time
but i just count dotted lines and highway signs
from where i am to where i rather be
i don't want plant my roots firm and thick and steady and static
i don't to sit on the shelf anymore




I did these ones the only second half of 2010

Woody Allen
__________
I'm so vain
I'm sure all your songs and poems are about
you must feel the same way i do now
but we don't say anything
it wouldn't us any good
we've been ****ed since our childhood
we learned doomed love is the most romantic kind
I would like to say that one day, someday soon
I'm gonna drive all day and drive all night to you
but we both know it isn't true
I'm far too practical to do anything worth mentioning at all

****
---
nobody cares that all your friends have moved away
you're better off they never had to much to say
just wanted to sound smart in someone besides their mother's eyes
chat you up about some film they saw or book they read
do yourself a favor, talk to yourself instead
nobody cares that all your love interests are uninterested in you
don't even get frustrated.
you'd **** it up
you'd **** it up
you'd lose a friend
all the boys at the parties are too drunk or too sober to screw around with you
don't even get upset like you'd know what to do

God damn the television
____________________
I wish you'd stop calling me and being so ****ing sweet
you're making this harder than it has to be
I want to get over you but I don't know how
I wish you'd cut it out
I wish you'd stop right now
stop singing in my ear
and dancing with me like we're the only people here
and you should know im a sucker for late night conversations and funny faces
do me a favor, don't pick up the phone and leave me alone

Sugar starch and name drops (this is my favorite song I've ever written)
________________________
I wish this was like 5th grade
and my friends could talk to your friends
and we could settle on something
I like lying on my floor,
starring at the ceiling
while you tell me anything
I've never been one known to take a hint
and I hate guessing games with a passion
I just want to know
I just want things to stay the same.

My new band Celebrity Jeopardy

East Coast Drags
______________
I told you I could never sell this box full of useless paper and plastic
not for anything, not for anyone
I'm trying so hard to hold on
I could call you on the phone but it wouldn't be enough
I could buy a busted engine and find myself anywhere inside these rigid borders
or I could finally find myself without relating me to anybody else
I could drive to your apartment but it wouldn't be enough

On the Road
___________
I have often dreamt of heading west
always vaguely planning
always calculating but never taking off
I could stay right here
I could take my time
I could takes whats mine
I could slowly die
if I keep on moving I won't have anything to worry about
if I keep on moving I won't have anyone to worry about
if I keep on moving I won't have anything to loose
