BIO:

I sing and first learned to play guitar so I could write my own songs. About 25 years down the road, I'm still at it.

Recordings through the years can be found here: http://www.theplaintoast.com/records.html

2010 marks my second 50/90. I hope to finish more completely this year with fewer sorta-songs and more finished works.

I had some fun with collaborations during FAWM 2010, so I will likely be looking to do some for 50/90.

***
what I'm using this year, so far:

my old HP computer w/ M-Audio Delta 1010LT card
Audacity
MTV Music Generator 2.0
iTunes (mp3 conversions)
Taylor 315-CE (standard tuning)
Takamine F-390S (whole step down: DGCFAD)
Fender GC-12 (open D tuning: DADF#AD)
Rogue open-back banjo
Fender Standard Telecaster
Aria Pro TSB series bass
Capo
I, IV and V
Shure SM-57 microphone
Shure Beta 58 microphone
Garageband '08 (as often as I get my hands on the Mac)
I'm using some sort of atmospheric and voice samples in a few songs.
Trying to find or make effects that enhance or support the song in some way.

I also want to make some heavy metal monstrosities.

Thanks for the comment on Morning Wood! I listen to your music probably every day just so you know :P

Thanks for the "Auntie Shirley" comments PWT!

No time reversal or anything like that for the instruments. It was just straight ahead drums, piano, and a bass that in the "instrumental chorus" gets split into a clean left signal and a dirty right signal.

Glad I was inspiring! By the way did I mention I love unambigously emo? I sing along to it :P

I see what you mean by exit music. I didn't mean for it to sound like that so I changed the ending a little bit.

Valerie Cox

Alright! I sent off the guitar track for the Mini-Band challenge. Should be in your email.

Yay! You're on the title list. I'll let you know when it gets closer :D. Do you prefer Sun or Wed? (I guess this is a question of, which are you less likely to be able to record?)

Wednesday is the one I might be better off not doing for my own well-being.

Hi, I see we were paired in the weekly challenge.
I'm finishing up a couple lyrics. I can send you one to see if it grabs you, or anything I have posted that's free.
If you have too much on your plate, I expect we'll both survive :)

Hello! Thanks for your comment. As for who gets named as a collaborator, each person names the person immediately prior to them: so you would name me and Helen would name you. That makes it easier to tell the order, I assume. :)

Love and light,

Jenna

Hey thanks for the kind comments for my "Keep Your Shoes On". I was surprised by its popularity so I totally re-recorded it today and added quite a lot: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/2485

I'm a bit behind in commenting at the moment, but will be listening to all other "Keep Your Shoes On" songs and things by all of those kind enough to comment on me so far.

All the best!

Hah! -- spotted the reference to Diamond Dave in the comments. I was trying to channel him with the scat solo (no time for guitar, so what're you gonna do...).

Nice to see the capo get a mention on the equipment list! ;) Good to meet you at FAWMstock, and I dug your songs. I'll be back to hear the tune you wrote about it at my earliest, non-work opportunity. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I hear the ice cream man...

Negasi

Unambiguously Emo is one of my favourite songs as of today!

Thanks for the lovely comment on "Let's Go" – you clearly "got" exactly the way I was feeling when I wrote it, and I'm always impressed when a listener can do that. BTW, I've updated the demo with vocal harmonies now.

Yo, thanks for the Kalpetchka Big Grey Bird comments -- it's all down to the effects of humidity and altitude -- you import Siberian Black Squirrel gut and just doesn't sound the same ... not to mention the special gull oils used to wax it down ...

The implication that you actually listen to my songs more than once made me very happy :). I know the language barrier can make it complicated, and a translation is not the same... So, thank you!! :DD

ankari

You're very welcome, I like what you're doing here! If you rerecord it, I'll use your new track; if not, I can use this one :D. (And it should go without saying, but just in case, you're in my watchlist.)

Oh, yeah, if you have music for Love Song you should absolutely post it.
