Doper musicians: post your music!

I must be slow, cause I haven’t found it. Hints?

Rotten bastard. You’re good at guitar in a way I have never been. Well done, ya miserable scum. :smiley:
And right now, I have to run teach class, so I’ll listen to the rest later. Thanks for the kind words, y’all.

A band I used to be in (and fill in for on occasion) recorded a CD, jeez, it’s just about three years ago now. We did French cabaret type songs, Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Michel Legrand, etc etc. A few tracks are:

Mademoiselle Maman - Claude Nougaro
Ne Me Quitte Pas - Jacques Brel
Les Parapluies De Cherbourg - Michel Legrand
Also, I’ve got some recordings I did with a singer friend of mine back in 2001-ish, including She Cries from Jason Robert Brown’s Songs For A New World.

Also also, I put a cabaret up last winter with teen and college-age performers, and got some good video of it:

Sondheim’s Putting It Together
Heart And Music from A New Brain
I’ll Cover You from Rent

That’s most of what I’ve got up online at the moment.
ETA: oh, and I’m playing piano in all of those.

Hey all - I don’t have anything new to post, so I will re-paste the link to my band’s Myspace page. We’ve not been gigging lately (too many “life events” going on in everybody’s lives, you know?) so haven’t recorded anything new…

I recommend I Need to Know for a straight-up rocker and All Right Now (creaky dinosaur that it is) since I do the lead work on that one (can’t remember if it is the take with the egregious mistake). All recorded off our PA live at parties and clubs. Tainted Love is just a rocked-up version of that song; pretty fun.

**Ogre ** - you all sound great; love the tone of the Traynor
An Arky - I really enjoy your work; solid punk-flavored power pop. The mix is great - is that your Ricky? The drums sound great on my little laptop speakers. I really respect your songcraft.
**Euthanasiast ** - dude, you rock! I knew you did, but still, nice job on the VH. Heck the drums sound better than on the original (I’ve never been a fan of the AVH “thonk” sound). Your playing sounds great; I’d be interested in hearing what kind of amp you’re playing though - IMHO, the tone is a bit congested - too much gain which squeals great but doesn’t have enough space inside the tone, if that makes any sense (and you give two shits about my comments!)
**Moe **- nice textures
**Ministre ** - I’m having problems getting your site to work on my machine - I think it is related to my firewall…grr.

Good stuff!

Thanks, WordMan! Of course, you are too good for your own good. Yeah, it’s my trusty Rickenbacker 330. I mostly played through a Cage head, though at times I used an Orange head and this Hiwatt head that is the loudest freaking thing I’ve ever played though.

I did use a Strat 12 string (I had not previously seen one of those) for a couple of parts (not in those songs) and a Tele for one rhythm part (also not in those songs).

Also thanks, Ogre. BTW, I friended you on that site. Good times!

Hi fellow plinkers, pickers and plonkers! I’ve listened to all the links and this is a great way to hear stuff outside your usual radar. Id never hear stuff like Moe’s usually - so cool!
I really like An Arky and Ogre’s stuff cos thats what i like i guess.

I love the gear talk too - perhaps a little too much - but i want more!

I’ve tried a Hiwatt recently and had to lie down with a towel over my head afterwards! Loud? No that doesn’t cover it.

Anyhoodie, here’s my link. All me, all homegrown, all in the spare bedroom.

and here’s a band that I recorded, played on and sang bvox for;

I like On Offer best, but think they are really talented guys.

Cheers
MiM

My apologies - they seem to have taken the video off that website. (sigh) I’ll hear from the WebMaster one of these days, but for the moment, that link appears dead.

So, here’s the next best thing I can do until I figure out how to upload clips (Could take a while; I’m a real neanderthal when it comes to computers) See if this works for anybody - J(h)immie’s got a goil and click on “Six Songs to Poems”

Is he one of those types that makes funny frog noises with his throat? I hate those people.

:wink:

Thanks Ogre, both for listening and for starting this thread! (I got some good myspace-plays padding out of it).

Nicely done.
And to everyone else in this thread, thanks for posting your tunes. A nice variety and as always, the breadth of talent on the Dope never ceases to amaze.

Actually, I really came in to hijack…

Hey wordman check your Private Messages - I got your email but my response got bounced back by your server.
but while I’m here -

here’s some tunes from the last album (released last year). Currently writing the new album to release late summer 2008, but we’ll probably be posting some live tracks up there on the MySpace once they polish up enough live.

The Eugene Smiles Project

If anybody really digs it, PM me and I’ll send you a link to download the whole album.
Note - most folks round here know me as a bluegrass guitarist/banjo picker, but this is an entirely different bag - just happened to fall in with the cats after a pickin’ session a couple years back, was blown away by their talent and commitment and voila - instant rock band :confused: :cool:

We’re touring the Upper Midwest these days - if anyone’s in WI, eastern IA & MN, northern IL or ‘da U P, eh’ and lookng to come out to a show - shoot me a message and I’ll comp ya in and buy ya some beers.

Oh yeah, I play bass and keys in the group.

My friends and I have been in a few joke bands throughout high school.

This year I’m very proud of two of my songs.

The first: Calc Rap by Lil’ F(x) ft. D-riv was done for a school project. Make sure to check out the lyrics. In the recording, I’m the first one who raps. The other song on that site was a solo project by the other guy.

The next:
My cousin and I spent hours one night coming up with a spoof of Hey There Delilah (that apparently a bunch of other people thought of already).

Tell me what you think!

Don’t have time right now to listen to the others {a gig calls} but I will tomorrow.

Rock On!!

A piece i wrote for percussion ensemble and a tune i played drums on are Here

There are some clips of a concerto for violin and orchestra that I was playing timpani on here scroll down till you see concerto for violin and orchestra…

a band i used to be a part of that im not totally sure is still sounding this way, but none the less has some recordings can be foundhere im not listed anywhere on that site…its kind of bizarre, but Thats me playing percussion on all the tracks

theres a video here

enjoy!!

picker - y’all are good for a bunch of dang yankees! :wink: Love the slide on Nevada Sand.

paffinity - that’s a trip! I’m going to show that to my math-loving son.

cosmosdan - great stuff. Maybe I Just Suck really hits close to home, haha!

perc - I think I heard your stuff the last time we did this thread…I like!

Same to you, Made in Macau - lots of hooks!

I put up a couple of more songs on the Soundclick thingy - Led Zeppelin Says is a humorously pathetic ditty about some power pop geek trying to hook up with a Led Zeppelin cover band groupie; Get It Right is a straight-up rock stomper, kind of like AC/DC playing an Elvis Costello song with Iggy singing.

Oh boy. I could (and likely will) spend all day in this thread listening.

Thanks, OneCentStamp! His new album was released February 12, so things have been pretty exciting lately.

You can hear stuff from the new album and his back catalog here:

http://www.randycasey.com

Here are a few of my most recent musical things:

One Cent Stamp (yes, the source of my Doper name): Punk-inflected rock in the vein of Foo Fighters or Green Day. I’m playing the guitar here, doing most of the backup vocals and a few of the lead vocals. I wrote the music for all of the songs here and the lyrics for “Exit 27.”

Kodiak: Garage-y hard rock that reminds me of Weezer meets Motley Crue. These guys were already a trio for a year or two before I joined; I was pretty much the “hired gun on lead guitar.” Which is not to say I don’t enjoy their music - I do - only that I didn’t write any of this or contribute much to the creative process except for small tweaks in arrangements.

On both recordings, I’m using my main guitar: a 1999 Gibson Les Paul Custom with Seymour Duncan pickups (Custom 5 bridge/Jazz neck). The amps are probably a Mesa/Boogie Mark III through Boogie 4x12" cabinet and an ENGL Fireball through the same cab.

Very nice!
