Emmett Hopkins -- Living on Mars Casio singer-songwriter/rap -- If you like local music, this is about as local as it gets, as this guy is a student at Stanford and lives in Cedro. He's from Sonoma County and has quite a variety of songs on here everything from piano songwriter ballads to ranchero-style songs in Spanish to MC Paul Barman-esque raps to goofy a capella to weird stories. Most of the songs use keyboard and canned beats -- with songs that are introspective and goofy at the same time. I especially liked the poison oak song and the song about dropping your pants along the side of the road! PICS: 9, 13 FCC: 18 1. echo-y keyboard + beats 2. song about a power outage and gluttony- 3. mexican style horns, tuba, singing in spanish 4. barman-esque rap 5. cheesy beats + keyboard, 6. heartfelt piano crooning 7. billy joel-esque piano ballad 8. the piano man sings again - 9. poison oak song, a capella -- great goat noises! 10. similar to track 2 -- about saving water and electricity! 11. guitar, slow -- more goofiness about love, girlfriend 12. weird story 13. slow piano ballad -- about dropping pants along the side of the road!! 14. sad piano song 15. a capella version of track 5 16. olympic song -- weird 17. same as track 12 -- with a bit more singing 18. recording from cedro 3rd floor, fooling around with keyboard effects-- FCCs 19. strange shouting/barking (:08 long) | ||
