A couple semi-musical musings

[Josiah Tobin]

Just two songs I recorded over the past couple days. The first one's a mellow acoustic sort of thing, probably derived from listening to too much Jack Johnson. Pretentiously happy.

I won't harbor any ill will if you guys hate me for this next one... :lol:
It's a cover of a Silent Hill 2 song called Angels Thanatos-- I haven't actually played the game much, but a friend showed me the song from the soundtrack and it was just too cool not to cover.

Now here's the catch... Ultimate lo-fi horribly recorded trash rock production! This song is meant to sound like a crappy, clipped, over-compressed first take of a garage rock band's demo on an old dusty vinyl being played on a turntable with half-blown speakers.

For some reason I really like how it sounds. It sounds like shit, but intentionally so, and... I dunno, maybe I'm just gaining an appreciation for stupidly lo-fi stuff. :lol: Anyway, here's the link:

Don't blame me for any damage to your ears.

EDIT:
Here's a version of Angel's Thanatos with redone guitars, hi-fi drums and none of the layers of distortion and noise:

Since people on other forums seem to find the lo-fi one to be a bit much. :p
