News Meditation: Sunday, 28 July 2013

I was asked to make a theme song for a podcast called "Cash's Corner" on the 5by5 network, but wasn't given anything beyond the name and actual show to go on. So I had no idea what style or theme to draw on.

Then the idea of just wildly singing "Cash's Corner" over and over again popped into my head and made me laugh (which is how all of my 5by5-derived productions have come about). So of course, I had to make it - even if it was something the 7-year-old host wasn't in to. (Though I vaguely remember his father, Dan, saying at some point that Cash dug some of the 70's rock Dan played to him...)

#4: The Sun | 10 Songs in 10 Weeks

When listening to podcasts, I'll hear a casual call out for a certain something or notice an opportunity and sometimes I'll sllllllowwwwly pounce on it. In this case, it was Haddie (https://twitter.com/haddiebird) asking for a jingle for her infrequent "App of the Day" segment on The Frequency (http://5by5.tv/frequency/). How could I not oblige - a jingle had popped into my head.

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend and talented musician, <a href="http://jenbush.bandcamp.com/">Jen Bush</a>, took thirty minutes out of her day to indulge me in recording this jingle. 

I didn't submit it to The Frequency as I thought the tempo was too slow and I was thinking of re-recording it, but now that the show gone to a weekly schedule (http://5by5.tv/frequency/124) and they're after 8-bit music jingles for their segments, so this jingle is now redundant. But I thought I'd let it see the light of day all the same. :)

Jingle: Haddie's App of the Day (ft. Jen Bush)

Inspired by my new niece enjoying the shit out of chewing on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_the_Giraffe">Sophie giraffe</a>, this song also has some choice dance moves for you to do during the chorus: 

1. Walk like a giraffe in the freezing cold, and;

2. Walk like a new-born baby giraffe in the summer, with wobbly jelly legs.
