Artsy goons, don't forget that we're going to need some album art I like Ocho Ho Ho well enough as an album name, but if anyone has any ideas, let's hear them!

simplefish posted:Artsy goons, don't forget that we're going to need some album art That was a 5-second-thought-out pun from my remaining dad joke powers that day when I suggested it to Jen. Definitely wasn't intended to be carried forth to the album or anything, so we welcome any and all suggestions for a new one. Also, yes, gonna need some awesome album art. If you're reading this and want to contribute but don't have any musical ideas/means/ I like Bandcamp and all, but I really wish that there was a better, more versatile option. AH well, until that happens, Bandcamp it is! This is not to say that I don't appreciate the efforts of Mr Rossi and anyone else who helped out to put all of those songs up there on the SAXmas profile, because I definitely, definitely do. Also: xthnru posted:I think I need to see my therapist. Gloria in excelsis deo  (we need an 'earpop' smilie)EDIT 2: (because I have a fair bit of free time during the day  ) Need audio guidance? Software? Tools? Check out these five links for free stuff/advice:Audacity: For quick, detailed audio editing (not really ideal for multitracking or making a full song, but hey, if you do it, more power to you!) Reaper: a free-for-evaluation multitrack DAW (digital audio workstation). Developed by industry professionals who got tired of bloated, expensive software like Pro Tools and the like. I'm not saying it's necessarily better than other, paid options, but it is ABSOLUTELY comparable. This is what you want if you'd like to put something even remotely complex together. Need plugins? Here's a list of legitimately free instrument/synth plugins from KVR Here's a list of free effects (reverb, delay, filter, chorus, etc...) Don't know what the hell you're doing, but want to learn? Come to this thread and ask away! I hope this helps people out, and I'll bug Jen to add it to the OP sometime. Also, if you'd like to, send me a PM with any sort of audio question. I have a diploma in this stuff, so I should probably put it to Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Nov 22, 2016 |

I have to say that, while obviously I'm a big fan of my wife's contributions over the years, what really surprised me was how well this Wub Machine remix of '(Can't Ring My) Jingle Bells' (from the 2012 album, but her original was from a year or two before that) works. http://saxmas.bandcamp.com/track/jingle-bells-wub-machine-remix EDIT: Also, this was an incredible collaboration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sHWCzM6W3Q Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Nov 22, 2016 |

Holy mother of a loving and just God, that is even better than He'll Bring You Coal! I thought he was going to go in a "Wreck of the Old 97" direction (with a much more jolly ending) but no, he went in an even better direction! If nobody else is going to replace "What did I miss" with "Merry Christmas" in the Hamilton soundtrack I might have to.

this isn't necessarily a submission yet, unless it's a surprise hit for some reason. i'm playing around with the idea of freestyling a bunch of christmas-y words. the guitar doesn't really have to be part of it (especially since i am so bad at it anymore) i just needed something to accompany my "singing" freestyle my request for feedback/collaboration is under the tree?? e: lol i just checked and no, hannukuh has not happened yet. it starts on christmas day this year. at least i was right about eid al-adha being a while ago Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Nov 22, 2016 |

 My track is under the tree! You know what, lots of people are going to be writing ironic songs. But this is a song about real joys about Christmas. This is a song that wouldn't sound out of place on the store radio.

All submissions on this page are golden! The album is already shaping up to be great. On that note, is there a goon who would be willing to help me with the music for my rap track? This year I feel like my lovely button mashing just won't do. PM me, if you're interested and I'll share the lyrics. Thanks in advance.

My boyfriend hates me because the only music I play in the car for the entirety of December is Goon Christmas music. I think it's hilarious. But for some weird reason I can't see any submissions in this thread. I can see plaintext links, but I guess it's icons or whatever that I can't see. I'm browsing in Firefox. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm going to be very sad if I can't annoy the boyfriend this year.

Alright, I know this is asking for trouble, but... I'm curating the definitive best-of Goon Christmas album Every year, people ask for a 'best-of' album, and we all agree there should be one. With 20 of CD's worth of music, there is plenty of material to work with. I'm going to do the daunting task of sorting through replies and determining which songs are the ABSOLUTE classics. There will be no set number of songs - it all depends on how much can fit on a CD-R (~80 minutes). For the love of baby Jesus, know the name of the song you're voting for. At least make is so I don't have to cross-reference 'Snowflake Girl Theme' with 'Polar Polar'. Give me your opinion!

I Greyhound posted:Das Sexy Reindeer Danse Oh god, I still remember writing this one. It almost was fated to be. So, here's the story. I myself was trying to come up with ideas for songs, and all I had in my head was "sexy Santa, he's a sexy, sexy man." I couldn't figure out the rest of the song, but I knew I had gold with that line. Then, Rascal Rockhog posted about how he wanted to collaborate. I think he had a song but couldn't come up with lyrics or something like that. Either way, he had an idea about what he wanted the lyrics to be about, I think maybe about all the difficulties Santa comes across while delivering presents. I'm not sure anymore. All I know was that he was not expecting a song about Sexy Reindeer. Anyway, I listen to it a few times, and in the pre-chorus, I found myself going "sexy Santa, he's a sexy, sexy man." So how do you finish that line off - "He needs a sexy reindeer, to fly across the land?" Then basically, it became a challenge to see how often I could use the word "sexy" in a song, and I just stuck with the idea of sexy reindeers. I envisioned the music video being similar to that Bob Dylan song where he's just flipping back the notecards with words on them. Except, all the notecards would just say "sexy" and flip everytime the word "sexy" was used. My personal favorite collaboration with Rascal was "Empty Chimney." He had wrote such a lovely little tune. I don't know if it ended up funny or not, but I'm really proud of the melody, and the first verse is a little touching. And then I do what I do and write something really demented for the second verse, and top it all off with "Santa, I still believe, 'cuz we never found the corpse." https://saxmas.bandcamp.com/track/empty-chimney Honestly, Rascal is a loving treasure. "Christmas Lobotomy" is honestly one of my favorite all time tracks from these things. He really is a talented musician. https://saxmas.bandcamp.com/track/christmas-lobotomy
