This is Steve Faulkner’s session from MadCamp (aka BarCampMadison the 4th) titled “How to Hustle.” I missed this session when Steve did it, but he also did a really short version during the Lightning Talks. It’s worth a listen.

Song: Cinder Bloc Party

Here’s the twelfth song from the album “Frenetic Stereoear” titled “Cinder Bloc Party.”

Cinder_Bloc_Party.mp3

Phaser + Wah + Fuzz + Echo… yeah, I like this guitar sound. The background audio is from the May 2007 Web414 Meeting. I had it handy on my hard drive, and needed some background noise, it fit the bill. I also like the cymbals (there’s a bunch of them) and the slow pace of the song, but the standout, for me, is the guitar.

The name? I dunno, I was thinking of “Cinder Block to the Head” (since I never got to use “C-stand to the Head”) and decided on “Cinder Bloc Party” instead. (I guess there is a band called Bloc Party but I’ve never heard of them.)

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being awesome) I’ll give this song a 7. I dig it.

Song: Operation Bomb Squad Assassins

Here’s the eleventh song from the album “Frenetic Stereoear” titled “Operation Bomb Squad Assassins.”

Operation_Bomb_Squad_Assassins.mp3

This is probably my favorite song on the entire album. With this one I feel like it’s a complete song, and don’t listen to it thinking “It needs more!” so I’m actually happy. I even used it in a video I put out recently. As to the name? I don’t know where I came up with it, but I really like the sound of it.

I think at this point in the recording I hit a good groove, which is a shame, because we’re almost done… This also tells me I should start recording in January so by the time February rolls around I’ll be ready to track some good stuff.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being awesome) I’ll give this song a 9. Best song on the album!

Song: Fituation Normal

Here’s the tenth song from the album “Frenetic Stereoear” titled “Fituation Normal.”

Fituation_Normal.mp3

Fituation Normal has bass, some weird guitar sound/effects (but no real guitar playing) and very minimal drums… It’s slow, eerie, and atmospheric.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being awesome) I’ll give this song a 5. It’s really one of those things I think would work as an intro to a longer song… eventually.
