"there are millions of people, but I'm not one of them."

Lost In America

What if "One Week" is the most important song of the 90's? A podcast demo for Gimlet.

One Week Podcast

I was toying around with this riff in the kitchen and stumbled onto some semblance of a song... so still in my pajamas I moved my gear into our empty room and tracked this with a condenser mic and little care.  It came out like this, easy just like me.

C is Easy

Kind of like this one with just snaps during the verse, but would like to hear a nice kick rhythm during the chorus and bridge.

Bruised Teeth

Honestly not sure with this one, could see it with a lot of toms and driving, could see it with a bunch of snare  and more rocking, or I could even see it with a heavy hi-hat new wave beat.

Any Minute Now

There's an electronic drum beat on this track that is going to stay, but we were looking to add some natural drum accents.  And if you wanted to play with counter rhythm during the verse or (especially) the outro that could turn out sounding cool.

Nervous

This beat needs an overhaul.  You should have a lot of fun with this one, just see whatever different feels you could give the song.  It has a lot of room to reform.  I'll be re-recording the acoustic guitar along with you.

You'll Get It

There isn't a whole lot to do with this one, just rerecord the tambo snare hits during the chorus.  We'll be doing some auxiliary percussion too, if you had any ideas.

Don't Like Music

Everyone says that it sounds like I forgot to mute the metronome when they hear this, but I do like the forward, driving sound of the kick.  I just need something less tedious and repetitive.  I could hear some toms and maybe an errant snare, simple but spicing it up a bit.

*there's a chance we may not even get to this one depending on time.
