Soil in My Mouth - Sorrow Stories - Nickillus remix2 by Nickillus

Sorrow Stories (Tina Forlorn) kindly put some more tracks from her 'This Time Has Already Passed' album up for remixing in another Metapop competition. I missed this one, but Tina kindly consented to me tacking a belated remix outside of competition. I had a ton of fun working with her highly individual vocals. It's all about experimenting and trying to improve. Boy is there room for that. This is a second version for this track, which I prefer to my first attempt. I may upload that version later for comparison.

Foolish Game by Nickillus

There are some great vocal stems on CCMIxter, available to play with. Miss Snowflake, a prime mover there has provided any number that you can use according to their licence restrictions. This particular song of hers is called 'Foolish Game', and this remix is where it led me. I haven't labeled it unfinished, but it is still in need of some serious tinkering.

Luis y Lliam - Accidente (live) by Swivelable

WNYC live radio host John Schaefer

LYRICS

Fito sufró un accidente
en la avenida principal
que lo tuvo casi al borde de la muerte
huyendo de la presencia
escondida de un radar
se salió de los linderos
y dio vueltas
cuando volvió a su cabeza
todo parecía normal
se quiso limpiar el polvo de su t-shirt

su cráneo era una vitrina
llena de rayas y trazos
por los golpes contundentes recibidos
aunque a Joe no le imporara
ni tampoco lo sintiera
la radio seguía encendida

y la gente se acercaba
para ver el accidente
un carro militar hacía rudos
la gente comentaba inquieta
donde hangueaba
hacían un interrogatorio brutal y siniestro
miró el retrovisor
y tras una barba verde
lloraba Cristo o Kurt Cobain
donde hubo mar
quedaban piscinas
donde hubo bares solo verjas
donde hubo multitudes
calles vacías.

Christmas Blues by @lastravage

In a society where Christmas, as any other festivity, has become a total commercial exploitation, many people spend money they don't have, buying useless, sometime expensive gifts, only because everyone else does.

While writing this song, I tried to picture myself in the position of the ones, less lucky, who have no-one or even a place to sleep, forgotten and ignored by a world too busy to pause and see....

Afterall, what is the real meaning of Christmas?

Lyrics

Coal, in my stocking this Christmas,
at least something to burn.

Next to a fire drum, here on my own,
fighting the cold.

Santa, is this what I wished for?

Now that the fire is extinguished,
it still burns in my heart.

I think that I've learnt a lesson,
ask no thing to anyone.

Dead Marchers by Dislocated Flowers

Valse pour Fanzy by @bakingjazzpower

Mushrooms in the Moonlight by REI Koizumi

On the Rebound by Nickillus

More midi mangling, throwing synth and string sounds together to see what falls out. Leaning towards experimental - ADM perhaps - Ambient Dance Music?
Thanks for listening, if you do.
