Join my Internet Band or Perish in Obscurity

I wrote three songs and require your help

Step 1:	Download mix or voice track
Step 2:	Remix the shit out of it
Step 3:	Host it and post it
Step 4:	There, we've created something beautiful

~~~

The Road (based on the novel)

Mix Voice

The Sword and The Laser (based on the book club)

Mix Voice

The Ocean (based on the ocean)

Mix Voice

Further information on steps 1 through 3 for your perusal:

Step 1:	I made a band (members: 1. Me), and you're welcome to take up an axe and lend support, if you so choose ("axe" here standing for whatever instrument you deign to take up, six-stringed or otherwise). What I have done is recorded demos of three of my songs, and what I have posted is 1) Said demos with digital instrumentation and 2) Voice only tracks.
Step 2:	For those who want to join, add music to the tracks, remix them, use the demos as a guide or don't, post your own versions, link to them here, do whatever. This is Creative Commons, brohemes. Note that if I receive 50,000 Songsmith recordings I will go fucking apoplectic, O.K.? This shit will not stand in the House of Clive.
Step 3:	Here's the bottom line – I'm putting myself out there because I have a local band that does not currently care about my needs, and I want to create something truly beautiful. That is why I come to you with open arms and an open heart. If you want to take my music and defile it and make it into shit, then at least let's agree that it will be the most beautiful shit either of us has ever made.
