Paperclippe in the City

trust life a little bit

To those who have given up on love: I say, “Trust life a little bit.” -Maya Angelou

A quiet, peaceful mix to comfort you.

Who feels like an underachiever now.

Songs to Make You Feel

For when the infinite void of the universe overwhelms you.

Jonsi, Arcade Fire, more good stuff.

A quick rant on how much I hate over-produced music, music that’s meant to sound a certain way.

Be more awesome, Trent Reznor.  Be more awesome.

The 6 Most Elaborate F-Yous From Musicians to the Industry

Paperclippe - What the Water Gave Me (Florence + The Machine cover)

For @reinadelaisla, who was inspired to inspire me to do this last night, so I did it today instead.

Another quicky - two takes: one piano, one vocals.

Paperclippe - I Will Follow You into the Dark

Yes. I’ve covered this song at least three times.

But this is the first time I’ve covered it drunk.

Behold. Live. No edits. Guinness.

Romance: A Parody (Or, Love Songs for Cynics)

I made a new mix.  Have a listen.

For Autumn: A Fallen Leaf - A perfect mix for a beautiful autumn day.  Serene, sullen, nostalgic.

Paperclippe - Alibi (30 Seconds to Mars cover)

After many hours of subjecting Chris to my Jared Leto impersonation, I can now torture the entire internet with it too!

Initially, I was going to record Hurricane. I had like 70 tracks and all kinds of crazy instruments, and I mean, it didn’t sound BAD but it was way too messy.  So I scrapped the whole thing and did this cover of Alibi in two takes: one for piano, and one for vocals.  I cleaned up the audio and that was it. No cuts (except empty sound) and no edits.

Enjoy.  Or don’t, I mean, it’s totally up to you.
