SpinTunes 18 Round 2 Challenge;
Escape the Grid: Write a song that makes creative use of one or more tempo changes.
=====

One of my Twitch viewers really deserves the majority of the credit for the lyrics this time around. CynicalMonkey99 really came up with some stunning lines. I may have added some lines of my own and tweaked the ones they provided, but I feel it tells a fairly interesting story, and captures what I was attempting to convey.

While I had a lot of ideas going into this one, someone suggested I make a polka, and I thought why not a Gogol Bordello / Tom Waits / Jason Webley inspired haloweeney Klezmer-polka.
The idea stemmed from a passing joke by RadioMylar; asking me to add a line about a flamethrower. Cynical Monkey ran with the idea and gave me some beautiful material to build on.

I had to learn a bit about tempo envelopes in Reaper, but the end product was worth it.

Lot's I'd change, but I was down to the wire.

The Flame-Proof Polka

This is an oooold one. And a weird, morbid, strangely festive one, at that.
18-year-old me was pretty weird.  Happy holidays, everyone?

You Do You (Rough Demo)

SpinTunes #14 Round 2 
Previously on...: Choose a famous song. It must have appeared on a Billboard Top 100 list. Now write a song that is a prequel to that famous song, such that the hit song appears to be an answer to your newly-created masterpiece. 

My recording equipment crapped out on me again this week, so after wasting way too much time trying to repair my recording setup, I fell back on the old "iPad & Garageband" method. 

Inspired by "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfeild, and also "Hey Jessie" by Inverse T Clown, from Spintunes 3, effectively making this the Rick Vs Jessie Trilogy.

Me Or Jessie

Me or Jessie

I have taken upon myself, the task of writing a "Sci-fi" theme for a cartoon I'm working on.
I sat down with a synth, a guitar, and my voice. This is what came out the other end.
I rarely ever use synths.
