Moshe Zadka's Journal  Pico-Stories -> Digital Watces: http://picostory.com/?cat=3 Add it to your RSS feeds! (If you want to read my story) See my blog Also, for those of you who said you missed it: adding the pseudo-user for my blog as a friend will let you see my blog in your lj friends list (while conveniently not letting me read your locked posts -- for the one person who was concerned about this.) http://moshez.wordpress.com/2008/05/3 X-posted to personal LJ, Israel filk LJ, wordpress blog I am happy to announce I wrote my 100th song today. Now I have to keep a promise I made to myself, and to many friends. I am planning to take 20 of my songs, and put them in a booklet. It is partially for me, because I am sick of having to worry about electricity being available when I sing. It is partially for others who want to sing my songs. And it is partially just because I thought it would be cute. The hidden agenda here is that the booklet, being a less malleable form than posts on a web page, needs the songs in a "finished form". I've been lazy, so far, with cleaning up scansion, rhyming and word choice. This will give me an incentive to clean up at least some of my songs, to make them each as good as they can be. What seems to be the problem then? I need to choose the songs. I find it hard to do it on my own, so I invite my friends to help me. How can you help? Tell me which songs you like. Tell me which songs you hate. Tell me which songs you'd like if only I'd fix them so the 3rd line didn't suck so badly. Tell me which kinds of songs of mine you like. Etc. This is a poll, not a vote -- I want to know what people think, not to count votes. How can you contact me? 1. Mail -- moshez@divmod.com 2. Comments on this post So let me know what you think. All of my songs are published on http://filkmoshez.wordpress.com Add this rss feed pseudo-user to your friends if you want to get my wordpress blog in your LJ friends group. Thanks to the anonymous soul who created it! I hope that some people who actually know music are actually reading my blog. I am starting to want to write original songs, not just TTTOs. There is one simple tiny problem with that -- I lack education about music, and I suspect I lack some talent in that area. On my part, I have consulted with some musicians I respect, and I am going to start to try writing melodies. If you feel like helping with any part of writing music, including help with melodies, writing melodies, arranging or writing the accompaniments, please get in touch with me. If you wonder this would be a good fit for your music, The Alpha Beta Song and Cephalopods show examples of the kind of stuff I do. They still have scansion issues, and I'm willing to adapt rhyme/meter to fit a melody if needs be. To clarify: I'm asking for either fish, pole or both. I usually don't post here much, as I've mentioned, but I just want to publicise some of my newest filk songs. All the songs mentioned can be found at my filk blog. ( Read more... ) So! Here is a public announcement. I am moving my main blogging to http://moshez.wordpress.com Sorry. It was fun while it lasted, but the SUP insanity seems insane indeed, and I am jumping ship before it gets *too* crazy. I am keeping my account, and will keep on reading my friends' LJ. So, I am continuing on my voyage to become a traceur. Today's workout was shorter than tommorow's: my body is letting me know this is too much stress. Tommorow will be Moshe'Z official "day off", with no running. I think I need to rest...but nonetheless it was fun, and I discovered many cool places around to Parkour in. I am still taking it easy with the obstacles, only clearing the occasional one for fun and profit. I learned how to run up a short steep slope, how to to a "equilibre" and stuff like that -- and of course practiced my rolls more. This is fun! The art is lovely, harsh and deep But I have obstacles to leap And rails to jump to go before I sleep, And rails to jump to go before I sleep, (with apologies to Robert Frost) ( Read more... ) Current mood: accomplished. Current music: Cars beeping. |
