you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Since the album is being delayed another day, I recorded DwarfWoot's song in hopes it can still be part of this year's album.

Hello!
Sorry this is so late, I've been really busy this year and forgot to look for the thread.

If anyone is able to sing this for me, that'd be awesome. If it's too short of notice, it's cool.
Anyway, here's my contribution this year:

CHRISTMAS TIME!

Christmas time!
It is here
Such a jolly time of year!

Christmas time!
Join along
Everyone can sing this song!

Christmas time!
Tell your friends
They've got Christmas cards to send!

Christmas time!
C'mon let's go
Play together in the snow!

Christmas time!
Get the tree
Light it up for all to see!

Christmas time!
Decorate
It's a time to celebrate!

Christmas time!
Hang the lights
Such a beauty in the night!

Christmas time!
Joy to all
Get together, have a ball!

Christmas time!
Gifts to give
Happiness to all that live!

Christmas time!
Spread the cheer!
Hope you have a great New Year!

I'm going to add to the list of apologies and say SORRY for not being able to record those lyrics yesterday, DwarfWoot! :( I don't know if I'll get under the wire today or not, but if not, I will still put together something for next year's album.
No worries! I'm thrilled you even thought about doing it.

I remember (for the 2012 album) taking a shitload of time working on the order of the tracks, the tagging, and a bit of volume normalising. I tried to treat it as much as an actual album release as possible, which really could have benefitted from having the original wav versions of all of the tracks to begin with, but there was pretty much no way I was going to be getting those from every submitter.

That being said, I commend you, Haschel, for your efforts; it can definitely be a pain,and it sucks when stuff gets missed, especially after uploading.

I submitted a couple of tracks last year, so I decided to push myself to do it again. Really poppy, but it descends into some madness in the bridge and the ending. I'll attach the lyrics too since I'm still learning how to properly mix vocals. Made this one basically safe for work. I'm tired of tweaking minuscule details, so here it is!

this album is for BAD songs not good ones

Superb album this year guys. Never heard Master Of The North Pole before, excellent - hilarious (Swedish by any chance?).

I figured people putting this on CD-R might like a backcover for it, and even to those who aren't it's a good place to quickly see the tracklisting. It should fit a standard 2CD case.

Not to harp on this, but this is the first collection I actually found myself physically reaching for the volume knob for (despite buttons on the steering), because it didn't really have any cohesive volume between the songs. Thanks for getting this together and bringing it to us.

Haschel, I had 3 of your songs on my 'mix tape CD' yesterday when I had to drive the parental unit to a doctor out of town. "He'll bring you coal" was a favorite. By the time we got there, "Ho Ho Ho (Its Christmas Time)" was actually being hummed aloud- and not by me. It played one time. :psyduck: Somehow, CDBurnerXP didn't tell me I accidentally stuck two "Das Sexy Reindeer Danz" on it, so I heard it four times. No complaints. :dance:

No, harp away! It was far from perfect, and there's just so much I can do with songs that weren't recorded/produced with the same or similar levels of care (and some not at all). I tried not to change many of the tracks, as even adjusting an mp3's volume means re-encoding which I absolutely hated doing. I remember Farmer Hank's Carol of the Bells cover was wonderfully too loud, and Koivunen's (sp?) "A little Fall of Snow" was barely audible, so some adjustments were made when they could be.

You dare suggest that a Call of Duty 2 headset in a basement with the heat off so the heater noise doesn't swamp out the sound isn't up to Goon Christmas standards?

Actually it might be nice to have a quick primer for people with ideas but not practice for next year.

Things like:
If there's a mic out there for vocals that is better than a headset or lifecam but not expensive,
if there is "one wierd trick for recording quality" (I had a lot of background hiss, but couldn't get audacity's hiss reduction working well enough to satisfy.)
I had stumbled through multi tracking with audacity last year (though for some reason every additional track ends up with a delay that has to be manually adjusted.)
