I received the most insane demo CD today

dirtypj [Edit] [Delete] 140 replies 23:10 March 13th, 2012

For years I've been putting on gigs (mostly garage-rock type stuff) and putting out records.

Therefore, I'm often sent demos. These days it's more usual for me to be sent emails with links to Soundcloud or whatever. Although the occasional CD still pops through the letterbox.

This CD came in the post this morning, loose in an envelope, no protective cardboard or anything, from somewhere in the middle of nowhere anyone's ever heard of, in British Columbia, Canada.

The covering letter said:

"Hello. I like punk music. I have thousands of hours of singing practice. Singing is all I did in high school. I included in the envelope a CD of me singing, from a few years ago. I only had a one minute recorder on my computer so I sang fast. My regular style is slower. But I do enjoy singing fast. The songs are comprised of bands that have inspired me. I am looking for a band and have not had much success. I hope that by writing to record labels and including a CD of me singing might get me help. I do not play an instrument. I would like to make music. Please phone and mail me if interested."

This CD simply has to be heard. So I made it all into just one track and uploaded it to Soundcloud, for your listening pleasure.

I'm not sure what to say.

Stunning.

For reasons I can't fathom

I'm listening through all of it. The one at 5 minutes in defies description.

This may well be someone's idea of a joke, although it's a moderately amusing one if so.

  My favourites are...
  
  6m40s
  8m40*
  10m30s
  12m25s
  13m35s
  
  *Thought he was singing Drowned In Sound at 8m50s & 9m15s on this track, but it's 'Drowned in self pity'. Oh well.
  
  If I was dedicated to INTERNET, I'd start a tumblr doing a really in depth review of each song, with flowery language and all kinds of cross-cultural references.
  
  Currently half way through listening for a second time. And it's even better.

      He also does Goldfinger - 'Superman' towards the end. I think those were the only ones I noticed.

        Although he's given it an exciting new melody.

  I really did receive this demo in the post. I've googled the guy's name and the only site he's on is one called Bandmix, on which he names his influences as "Bad Religion, Offspring, Lag Wagon, Pennywise, NOFX, Beastie Boys, Good Riddance, Social Distortion, Vandals, Satanic Surfers, Ten Foot Pole, SNFU, Metallica, The White Stripes".

  - If it all becomes INTERNET it's in danger of degenerating into a joke/shit meme.
    
    But if someone fronts up the cash to press physical copies up, and the guy gets a fair wedge, and it's done in a straight-up way, rather than a daft and crass way, then the guy has pretty much found his way into the scenario he was looking to get to, so good luck to him.

  "christ's chin" and "two headed sex beast" pop up in the fourth song to be honest

- Is some of this a bit autotuned?
  
  I've only made it to the second track but some of the first track had a bit of that wireyness of autotune, am i mad?

- Just had another listen.
  
  Was gonna just re-check out my faves, but got drawn into just listening to it straight, without skipping.
  
  Whatever the reason or circumstance, there's an undeniably single-minded thing going on that makes it compelling. Definitely not just a wailing loon. It's the aural manifestation of someone in love with music.
  
  I keep coming back to the "I only had a one minute recorder on my computer so I sang fast." thing. It's the kind of thing that you'd expect from Aphex (or the Beatles, or whoever) in 1989 (or 1968, or whenever).
  
  RESTRICTIONS (THAT CAUSE ENFORCED CONCEPTS) 4 THE WIN.

- I have just wasted five minutes of my life listening to this
  
  And that's five minutes I will never get back. I should charge you for my time. Roflol.

- I'm disappointed
  
  It's been listened to around 4,500 times now but so far only one re-mix. Surely someone can put some proper instruments behind him?

  That was a week and a half ago. He's not replied... Yet.

- I'm really enjoying this...
  
  it sounds like the sort of thing I would make. If you were to release this, does that just mean you'd be asking people to pay for a download of it? or actually putting it in... record shops.

- The plot thickens...
  
  ..he sent the exact note/CD to a record store in the U.S. and it found its way to Brian Turner on WFMU... http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/44460 - 1 hour in.
  
  BUT i will never stop suspecting everyone of liking it ironically! :D

- Ryan has emailed me!
  
  "Hello PJ. My name is Ryan. I sent cds of me singing in the mail. I got a postcard from you. Thank you for sending me a postcard. Please email me."
  
  Now I guess I'd better figure out what I'm going to do with him!

    Cool. Wow. Thank you. I checked out the Soundcloud. Thanks!

    The most rock and roll number of them all. Apt. Hope it isn't a bad omen.
