Hometapes from 1972-now. Mostly solo acoustic singer-songwriter with an arty edge.
+1. heartfelt singing, minor key piano
2. silly song, piano organ marimba, from point of view of bacon in soup.
3.nice tremoloed vocals, then a saddish song with piano and organ, jammy
4.cover of a hit song. I prefer the original. this is pretty different.
5.plodding horn loops. instrumental
6. droney electronic buzzes and organ, plods. some near-wordless vocals.
7.piano bells singing, nice, little proggy, sounds light after the last 2 tracks
8.lots of echo on the voice, organ piano bells, faster, a short track tossed out
9.music box, saccharine bedtime dialog between falsetto boy and dad
10.mostly acappella & snorting. drinking songy. like monty pythons "spam"
11.early beatbox and proto-rap like "they're coming to take me away"
12.smooth
13.preachy
