I post raw tracks, loops, and other such sundry goodness from my songs, and you remix them and send them to me.

The only rules are:

  • The raw tracks are licensed Creative Commons Attribution, meaning that whatever you do with the tracks, you must credit me with the source material.
  • Otherwise you can do whatever you want with the tracks. Commercial releases are fine and dandy.

I do ask that if you use these tracks to do something cool, you send an mp3 (or a link to one) to me (fluffy[at]beesbuzz[dot]biz) and let me post it on the site. I hope to aggregate peoples' mixes next to the original sources.

    ]]> Lyrics

    It's the last day on Earth I know
    Everything is coming down
    We run it to the ground
    I think we need another take

    We didn't understand the snow
    Thought our troubles were gone
    Conclusions were withdrawn
    Life was just a big mistake

    I think we need another take

    I think we need some shelter
    We deserve this weather
    But we're flying to the sun
    Everything's undone

    And we're lying on the ground
    Swallowed up in the sound
    What we get is what we make
    I think we need another take

    It's the last day on Earth I know
    Everything is coming down
    We run it to the ground
    I think we need another take

So, for the first 50 physical CDs we sell through CDBaby during CDBaby's promotion (meaning until Feburary 8, 2010), we will be donating $10 to the Red Cross. Plus, if we sell all 50 copies, we'll donate another $500 (making a total of up to $1000).

    This isn't just us donating "all profits" or whatever, no, we're donating significantly more than we make on every CD sale, and it is in addition to CDBaby's donation.

    ]]> Lyrics

    Wake up in the morning
    Before the alarm goes
    Trying to fall back to sleep
    Still in last night's clothes
    Lying half awake, I still can't
    get up when the beeping starts
    Why would I

    Sleepwalk through the morning
    On the way to work
    That guy on the bicycle is
    Such a stupid jerk
    I think I should push him over
    Just to show him up
    But why would I

    Sometimes it is very hard to
    keep yourself moving when it's gone
    haywire

    Monday morning meeting
    Going way too long
    Finished up my coffee but the
    coffee isn't strong
    I feel like I need to sleep
    I need to keep moving but then
    why would I

    Tuesday PM meeting
    Life is way too short
    Everything I try to say cut
    off with a retort
    Why does this guy work here, he's a
    jerk, here, I should shut him up
    why would I

    Sometimes it is very hard to
    keep yourself moving when it's all
    haywire

    Oh, listen to me
    Think about the damage done
    How hard can it be
    Just to have a little fun

    Wednesday morning dreary
    I get nothing done
    Thursday comes and Friday goes
    Still get nothing done
    I should reconsider my
    Career choice, find a new voice but
    Why would I

    Sometimes it is very hard to
    keep yourself moving when it's gone
    haywire
