I’m Missing a Bunch of Album Art!

Still no baby! Everything’s ready for her (including us), but no birth over the weekend. Instead, I made a couple of Mix CDs. Yes, actual, physical CDs. Yes, I still do that sometimes, though it has actually been a couple of years since I’ve done so. So because it’s been so long, I decided to make a double-disc. I also threw out my rule about trying to have only one repeat from previous discs (there are a lot of repeats on these).

For this set I just arranged my collection alphabetically by artist and started at the top. I tried not to use more than 2 songs for any given artist chosen. I got down to the “P” artists before I filled up two discs! I fudged the order a couple of times (Julia Massey shouldn’t be on the first disc, for example), but whatever.

So here are the track lists. Wherever possible I tried to link to somewhere where you could download the song, or at least to a place where you can listen to the song. I was actually able to find them all… except for the songs that I wrote myself…

Anyway, enjoy! There are some good stuffs on these:

Well, folks, here it is, my (aka Saucecore‘s) first-ever finished song, with vocals and everything!

It’s a cover of Trevor Peach’s classic “Glasses or Bottles of Port.” Partake and enjoy! FREE DOWNLOAD!

Some backstory: Polka Glocks is a hip-hop group comprised of three people living in entirely different parts of the country: Davy Hamburgers (Pittsburgh), Jason Sabbides (Tennessee) and Three Ninjas (Seattle). They also have some kinda members who live in Wales and Virginia. Their collaborations happen over the internets.

After Three Ninjas did some collaboration with them (and was then formally inducted into the group) I started listening to them and became internet-friendly with Davy Hamburgers. During that time I was ramping up my 8-bit chiptune Saucecore project.

I had composed a chiptune song that I liked but I had no idea what to do with it because it didn’t really fit the style that I was going for. So I thought, hey, I’ll send it to Davy Hamburgers; maybe he can figure out something to do with it. Gosh, that musta been about a year ago. And honestly I completely forgot that I’d done that.

And then last week to my delight a song suddenly materialized as if by magic out of the internets! Take a wissen:

I wrote the chiptune musics for that! It’s going to be on their next album, Secret Land of the Monkey Man. I am excite!

This new Fools Play video is one of my favorites. The special effects are flawless! Especially the way my hair grows dramatically throughout the span of the video. Oh, wait… I mean… nothing.

The video game music at the beginning and end of the video is “Push On Through the Laboratory” by Saucecore, AKA me — I wrote it on a GameBoy!
