Today I noticed a similarity between the beginning of The Walkmen’s What’s In It For Me? and the end of cLOUDDEAD’s our name. This is a clip of one crossfading into the other, in respective order, and then panning out right and left, respectively.

I tuned our name up 32 cents to better match it to The Walkmen song. I think my brain is tricking me into hearing the two alternating chords from What’s In It For Me? in that huge outro chord.

Does anyone else think they sound similar?

No For an Answer (take two)

Alright, so I rushed it last time. I had burned a compressed signal of the kick drum and forgot to mute the original, so there were two kick tracks in that last mix. Bad bad bad. I tweaked some other things and redid the vocal tracks. Overall I think it sounds much better than the original.

Let me know what you think.

“No For an Answer”

Leftovers. Decided to finish this tonight. It’s been sitting on my hard drive for a while. I’ve also put it up on MeMeMeGimmeGimmeSpace, something I haven’t done in a long time.

The only really exciting thing I did in this song is the synths in the beginning and rubbing snares across a mic grill. If you consider that exciting.

Comments/criticism is welcome, musical or engineeringical. Bring it.

There’s a newer mix of this song here
