I made two demo tracks. They're the first song I wrote, and the last song I wrote. Everything else is still being fiddled with. Looking for feedback. Demo 1 Demo 2

I like them! I can't comment on the lyrics in the first one because I can only hear them sometimes, but I like the progression on both! Your voice sounds good over acoustic guitar on a fuzzy mic.
Here's a thing I made: Saturday I'm toying with the idea of adding lyrics, because there's definitely room for them, but I also just like it the way it is.
One of my friends has been telling me I should make punk music, so I made her this for her birthday. I think it's really terrible, but she likes it and that is what counts.
Feedback thoroughly appreciated. As I say in the description, I hate the way I sing it and want more from the instrumentation, but this is what I have available to me now, so it's what I'm recording and putting forth.
Live and Suggestible documents a song writing challenge proposed by Caroline Clifford and Paul Salamone at the We Are Not Gemüsed comedy show in Berlin; I ask for a topic suggestion from the audience, write the song, and then perform it for the first time the next time I’m back at Gemüsed. I accepted the challenge. I took 10 suggestions, wrote 10 songs, and performed those songs over 10 different shows.
The topic suggestions were, in order (along with the start location on the album):
Pubic Hair Removal – 1:45 Tomatoes – 6:45 Hipsters – 11:22 Quantum Physics / The Walk of Shame – 16:43 Misogyny in Comedy – 22:11 Penny Markt / Red Traffic Light – 27:15 Concrete – 33:48 Chernobyl – 37:59 Flies – 43:10 Schmoozing / Alzheimer’s Disease – 46:11
It’s a single mp3 file with a single track, coming in at about 75mb and 52 minutes. It’ll play on any computer or phone or device or even right here in your browser. Warning for young ears: many songs on this free album contain adult language and themes.
Luke, your style so much fun in a live context. It all makes sense now. Well done, dude.
I have been playing the shit out of my harmonica lately. The plan for this summer is to start work on an album with the harp, beatboxing, and weird samples. It's gonna be cool as hell.
The demos for my EP are up. I'm going into the studio on Thursday to record them on quality equipment. My guitar teacher recommended that I play "Everybody Needs Their Bobby Barnette" with picking instead of strumming, so I'm going to experiment with that between now and when I'm in the studio.
Well, here's a track I made. It's nothing like my other stuff. It's me manipulating my admittedly budding knowledge of music theory, and applying it to software to make something that I don't know how to describe. Just check it out.

I'm slowly beating the habit of under-mixing the vocals out of myself. Nearly there.

I like the thing you made. It could use a little variation, though. It gets kind of boring, even though its good.
