A new song, and a new club.
Murf made me realize that it had been awhile since I posted a crap-ass food song, so I'm posting another in my exhilarating series of dumb, short songs about food. This one is about beans.
These Beans Are Tough
I'm sort of at a loss. Normally I'd say a bit about the song, but I just don't know. It's got some bongo drums, glockenspiel, and a bit of pennywhistle in it. And then at the end I drummed on some glasses and stuff and processed it until it sounded strange. But I mean, I don't really know. There it is.
Me and Murf are trying to start Michael and Michael's Song of the Week Club, and we want you to join us. Every now and then Murf seems to send me a song as an attachment by Gmail, and sometimes I send him one, and the other day I thought, what if we had an email list, and every week everybody emailed everybody else one song they heard/listened to a lot that week that they wanted to spread the word on or whatever. It would be really easy, all it would take are email accounts that allow mp3 sized attachments, and people with decent internet that were willing to spread some music love. Then we just get an email list together, and then once a week, say Sunday, everyone sends out an email with a song. And maybe a few words about what they like about the song. What do you think? Anyone interested? Post a comment and let us know! We'll start a club and share some good songs!
(Murf adds the stipulation that if you don't have a good song, you can make up your own crappy song, and send that, and irritate everyone when they open your attachment and it's some crummy song about a pumpkin or something.)
What say you?

Hi, it is only your moma. Just thought I would check your blog and there was a NEW SONG! I loved 'the bean song'! It started out very "bluesie," "VERY bluesie
and I really like 'blues-ie-ish', and then it kinda turned Congo on me, but I liked it! anyway......your moma loves you!
(PS I have discovered that those letters at the bottom are REAL hard after 3 glasses of wine!)

sounds fun. song list. pumpkins. glockenspiel. Yeah.
The word of the day is sudomcil - sounds like either a fungus or a medication.

Well, you don't need a microphone, when we were talking about sending a song a week, we meant real songs. Like the other day murf emailed me a couple of songs he'd heard and thought were cool, so he passed them on. So we were thinking of starting a little email list to pass on neat music. That's all. And songs people made, if they wanted to. Yep.
hey, it's me, ana. first of all, was that really your mom? because if it is, that's so freaking cool!
second, i promise i'm not a lurker. i mean, i haven't been secretly reading your blog all along from the shadows and not ever commenting. it's just that, when i was in knoxville over spring break, andrew reminded me that you guys all have blogs, and also about the totally vague reviews, so i started reading...anyway, 1) i love all your songs (i was walking down the street listening to hobo thanksgiving and laughing out loud so hard that people gave me dirty looks. "and now he gets your gravy!")
2) i thing the song of the week list is a great idea. i'd love to be on it, if you'll have me. i have gmail and everything!

Holy Cow! It's Ana! How the heck are ya?!? You are a person I miss!
Yes, that really was my mom.
Thanks for the compliments on my crappy songs! They're fun to make.
Even if you were a lurker, I wouldn't mind. I lurk on tribe of the werewolf puppies, reading and never saying anything, like a blog ghost.
Yes, you can be in the song of the week club for sure! Invite anyone you want, if they want to send out songs. We'll get an email list together, and it will be sweet!

MICHAEL: you must start the mailing list! Please email me (and everyone else you can think of who will join the list) a song, and then I will send out a song to all the folks you sent your song to, plus a few extra names. And it shall grow from there! But we missed our first Sunday... it can be saved with a Monday mailing!
awesome! i'm in, for sure. (ana.anderson@gmail.com) and shall i post to the werewolf puppies directing them to your email in case they'd like to be in, too?
Yes! The more the merrier, surely!

Or they can drop a comment bomb right here.

Michael! How are you? Your mom's awesome, btw.
Ana told us Puppies of this mystical magical song-a-week endeavor... I'd love to come along for the ride (toral.n.shah@gmail.com).
Hooray!

Hey Michael, I like your songs! Tears of Love is really great. And who is singing harmony with you on Iced Coffee? I can read this because I've had only two glasses of wine.
