Episode 842: Music for Blocking Out Screaming Kids - Peacock

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:46:11 +0000

My friend and I were at a winery yesterday. It was a winery that had peacocks walking around. They were yelling a lot, and it dawned on me that this could be part of the concept album I've been cooking up in my head - Music for Blocking Out the Sound of Screaming Kids. I hate the sound of screaming kids - it is the worst sound in the world. Would a song with a bunch of peacocks yelling block out the sound of screaming kids if I played it nice and loud on my li'l speaker? We'll see. Anyway, I might make a concept album of songs with annoying, high-pitched sounds engineered to block out the annoying high-pitched sounds of horrible kids.

Episode 841: Lots and Lots of Cats

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 03:57:31 +0000

I actually recorded this little ditty a few months ago, and I was saving it for a rainy day (i.e., a day where I didn't have time to record a new little ditty). Such a day has come to pass, so here it is. My phone told me I had "lots and lots of cats" in my camera roll, so that inspired this here little number.

Episode 840: Welcome to the Show

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 30 May 2026 03:25:19 +0000

This is another depresso song; it's this whole metaphor thing, where, like a bad TV show is a metaphor for life as we know it right now.

Episode 839: I Am Just a Fox

Rebecca Pittenger — Mon, 25 May 2026 01:46:04 +0000

Here's a bonus track for this week...I'm not sure how this song'll age, but here it is. A person thinks of herself as all soaring and majestic, like an eagle, but she's actually a fox.

Episode 838: Gloomy Gus Song 16 - Time to Say Goodbye

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 23 May 2026 04:45:06 +0000

I guess this album is getting a wee little bit dark...don't worry, it gets lighter in time, but not that much lighter.

Episode 837: Songs About How Kids Suck

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 16 May 2026 04:37:25 +0000

Have I ever mentioned that kids suck? They wouldn't suck so much if their parents weren't moronic asswipes that let them scream like banshees and irritate everyone within a 5 mile radius.

Episode 836: Old People Sunglasses

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 09 May 2026 21:42:11 +0000

I got some old-people-who-wear-sunglasses-over-their-glasses sunglasses. That's a true story!!

Episode 835: Restless/Fucked Up

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 09 May 2026 04:04:01 +0000

Last week's song was about depression, and this week's song is about anxiety. It's becoming the Mental Health Clinic Musical Hour.

Episode 834: She's Stuck in Eternal Mondays

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 02 May 2026 04:12:29 +0000

I was trying to think of a good metaphor for depression. This is what popped into my mind: Being stuck in eternal Mondays. The person in the song likes it, though; I mean, she likes being stuck in eternal Mondays. I'm not sure why.

Episode 833: It Was Only Gone For An Hour

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 02 May 2026 04:08:30 +0000

I was thinking about how everybody's scared of their consciousness passing out of existence when they die; but when you think about it, that's what happens when you go under anesthesia. No time passes. There's nothing awful or painful about going into non-existence on a consciousness level. And, who knows? Maybe there's some way we come back again, even if we do get blotted out. (I'm not sure how that would happen, but maybe, just maybe). And if centuries pass between one fading outta existence and fading back in, it will seem like no time had passed.

Episode 832: Gloomy Gus Song 15: Nothing

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 04:26:02 +0000

This is Gloomy Gus Song 15. I'm not sure yet if I like it. It's about how when people are depressed, sometimes they feel nothing, and why is nothing not neutral, since it's nothing?

Episode 831: Everything Will Disappear When the Bombs All Fall

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 04:26:07 +0000

This song is another end-of-the-world-ish piece o' music. I'm doing a lot of those lately. Maybe that's because it's sorta kinda the end of the world, maybe-ish.

Episode 830: Demon Song on a Sunday (Foot in Mouth)

Rebecca Pittenger — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 02:09:06 +0000

Whelp, that was a foot-in-mouth moment. But, then I got feedback from someone else that the person who got mad at me overreacted. So, there. Still, there are days I wish I never opened my mouth (or my email mouth).

Episode 829: Gloomy Gus Song #14: What's the Point of Living if We're All Gonna Die, Anyway?

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 04:24:27 +0000

This is the next Gloomy Gus song. It's a little existential ditty.

Episode 828: We're Drinking a Lot

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 04:41:17 +0000

Here's another drunk church song. It probably sucks.

Episode 827: Gone a Long Time

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 03:32:40 +0000

This is the polished version of that little ditty I did a few Sundays ago with the dandelion picture and stuff. I think it's about a depressed gal who has gods and goddesses she knew in a past life come visit her in her sleep.

Episode 826: PainRain

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:38:52 +0000

Here's a song about I-don't-know-exactly-what. I was finally gonna say, hey there're no curse words in this song! I don't have to put a little "E" next to it. But, then, I realized it's a little innuendo-ish. Not that I meant it to be - it just came out that way.

Episode 825: gloomy gus song 13

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 23:11:53 +0000

Just a quick little post of a song i recorded last week. It's kinda whatever-ish.

Episode 824: I'm Drinking Sunshine

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 04:55:17 +0000

This is a song that was derived from the Green Sunday song I did on Sunday. I fleshed it out and made it into a drinking song.

Episode 823: Gone a Long Time

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 22:20:01 +0000

Here's a little ditty that just came out of my noggin.

Episode 822: Green Sunday

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 21:45:30 +0000

It's a green Sunday. Greeeeeen.

Episode 821: Back to the City

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 05:42:46 +0000

The lyrics of the first part of this song came from a dream, so as usually, I cobbled it together in a way that would make it maybe make sense.

Episode 820: Gloomy Gus Song 12 / Oblivion

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 05:31:20 +0000

Damn, I'm running into tech issues; this thing is not publishing. I'll try again; this is Gloomy Gus Song #12; it's a song about how he has a tendency to drink himself into oblivion.

Episode 818: I Don't Know What Happened To Me

Rebecca Pittenger — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:31:41 +0000

The repeating part of this song came from a dream this morning, where 2 girls came to me, alarmed about some music they were listening to. It was instrumental, but there were overtones or something that made it sound like there was a human voice singing. It sounded like my voice, but turned around backwards. And it was singing "I don't know what happened to me." It was eerie, so I made a song about it.

Episode 817: Gloomy Gus Song 11 (The Whiskey Song)

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 05:39:05 +0000

This is a song about why Gloomy Gus likes to drink whiskey.

Episode 816: Late Summer Sunlight is so Depressing

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 02:11:36 +0000

Y'know how, in late summer, the sunlight is all goldy-orange later in the day? That's always been a depressing shade of sunlight for me. It reminds me of being bored as a kid, at my brother's soccer practice at the end of summer, knowing my days of freedom were numbered because school would be starting soon.

Episode 815: Gloomy Gus is in the House (Gloomy Gus Song 10)

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 02:32:08 +0000

Gloomy Gus went over into some country music sensibilities. Oldy, oldy, moldy, old time country music. But with other sensibilities, too.

Episode 814: I Miss Midnight/I'm Miss Midnight

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 05:37:59 +0000

This song came out of the blue, and I realized it could mean two things: "I miss midnight" sounds identical to "I'm Miss Midnight." It's a little double entendre magic fun.

Episode 813: Old

Rebecca Pittenger — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 23:39:29 +0000

I'm doing my birthday song a day early cuz I might be out and about tomorrow, and stuff. Here it is. Old. Old, old, old. It's kind of a crappy song.

Episode 812: I Don't Have Any Angels (Gloomy Gus Song 9)

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 04:59:31 +0000

This is song 9 in the Gloomy Gus series, a song about what it's like to grow up to be a pencil-pusher, instead of doing God's work, as he had originally intended way back in the day.

Episode 811: Gloomy Gus Song 8

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 05:00:01 +0000

Gloomy Gus continues to ponder the music he heard coming to him last night, as it fades from his memory and he gets ready for work.

Episode 810: Gloomy Gus Song 7

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 03:20:26 +0000

It's morning, and the memory of the music that came to Gloomy Gus in the night is fading fast. What was it, now? What was it that woke him up in the middle of the night. Crikey! His short term memory ain't what it used to be.

Episode 809: Last Day of 2025

Rebecca Pittenger — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 23:25:19 +0000

When people say, "Thank God this year is over - it's ring in the new year," I feel like they're tempting fate...like, remember when people were all, "Thank God 2019 is over - yay, 2020"? Then there was Covid. Let's not tempt fate this time around.

Episode 808: Gloomy Gus Song 4 and a Half

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 19:23:50 +0000

I recorded this song on Christmas, and as of last night didn't really think it went with the rest o' them; but it fits nicely, nestled between song 4 and song 5. The song 6 one I'm a little ambivalent about; either I'll figure out how to use pitch correction or have another go at it.

Episode 807: Gloomy Gus Song 6

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 04:37:11 +0000

Here's a li'l restatement of that new theme in the last Gloomy Gus song. Actually, if you follow this, I did an initial version of a song with this melody a while back but didn't know what it was supposed to be about, and stuff. This song seems to belong here in this here album. Yeah, man. Yeah. Although I kinda like the old version of it, too.

Episode 806: Gloomy Gus Song 5

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 04:33:22 +0000

Gloomy Gus wakes up to...what the heck? Music comin' from he does not know where.

Episode 805: Just One More Christmas Song!!!!!!

Rebecca Pittenger — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 19:14:26 +0000

I wanted to do a 4th Christmas song this year, so that I'd have 4 Christmas songs. Then it makes a nice, well-rounded, square-shaped Christmas song cycle. Enjoy!

Episode 804: Drunk Church Christmas Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 03:56:25 +0000

Here's Christmas Song #3, I guess you could call it. Number 3. A song about how Christmas is sort of kind of a celebration of Jesus's birthday, but not on His actual birthday.

Episode 803: Another 2025 Christmas Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 04:51:38 +0000

I don't think I've ever been to a Midnight Mass before, but here's a song for one.

Episode 802: Xmas 2025

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:20:37 +0000

Just a quick little ditty to get everyone into the holiday spirits. Well, maybe not.

Episode 801: Gloomy Gus Song #4 (Give Up the Ghost)

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 04:56:45 +0000

Poor Gloomy Gus; he sure is gloomy. He's thinking about what his epitaph will eventually say, but he can't come up with any ideas. (This is the 4th song in the Gloomy Gus and the Forest That's About to Die album).

Episode 800: Dark and Horrible for Hell Movie

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:12:26 +0000

The first part (before the rapping comes in) is gonna be part of the sound track of the movie I'm working on. It's gonna be in 3 parts; the first part o'' the movie is already on YouTube (make sure the player thingy is on high definition if you choose to watch it). Part 2 is still in a bunch of wee, bite-sized installments that I'm eventually gonna put together just like I did for Hell Part 1 and upload onto YouTube (and maybe other places). Anyway, this is a fragment of a song I wrote in 2023; it's a song that's kind of the theme song of Hell: Part 2. Boodles the Poodle is in Hell: Part 2.

Hell Part 1:

https://beckyshomemadesongs.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell-part-1.html

Hell Part 2 (as it currently exists):

https://beckyshomemadesongs.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell-movie-part-2.html

Episode 799: It's Just the Way It Is

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 20:16:11 +0000

This is song #3 in the Gloomy Gus album. I wasn't expecting to record a song today, but I was washing dishes, and this song came to me. Well, it's more of a variation-on-a-theme-song, I guess you could call it. Jung would hate it cuz he hates polyphonies. Actually, the singing part is more call-and-response-ish, now that I'm thinking of it, so maybe Jung wouldn't hate it. But I think he'd probably hate the part at the end cuz the rapping-over-the-singing stuff has a polyphony-ish flavor to it.

Episode 798: What Is This Music (Gloomy Gus Song #2)

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 04:47:16 +0000

This is the second song in the album with the working title, "Gloomy Gus and the Forest That's About to Die." Gloomy Gus is busy being all sad and gloomy, when he hears music coming out of (seemingly) nowhere. What is this?????????

Episode 797: Gloomy Gus

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 02:36:19 +0000

This is an alternative version of the song I wanted to record last week but didn't cuz my voice was all janky. I'm considering starting a new little concept album. This song and another song came to me and said, "Make an album out of us!" So, I might just do it. If that's the case, this might end up being Track #1 of said new concept album.

Episode 796: why i sound like shit these days

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 05:12:32 +0000

If you follow this music page, you've probably noticed that my voice has been deteriorating over time...basically there's a mystery something or other that's negatively impacting my health and giving my cats health issues too, and it's a bad thing. That, combined with lack o' sleep did a number on my dumb voice this week. Bleh. I think I know what the mystery something-or-other is - well, lemme take that back. I don't know what the mystery something-or-other is, but I know where it came from. And even though I got rid of the thing that contaminated the house, the badness is sticking around. Lots and lots of badness.

Episode 795: The Room I Never Use

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 04:45:12 +0000

This is a song from the point of view of a person with a mystery-room in her house. It relates to Jungian psychology stuff. If I'm remembering correctly, all of us have parts of ourselves that we don't accept, so we push them outta conscious awareness, and they end up in the Shadow, which is almost like this being made up of a conglomeration of parts of us that we don't accept about ourselves. I think I'm getting that right, but I might be wrong about that. Anyway, the room in the song might just signify that shadow complex. I don't know yet.

Episode 794: I Hate Halloween

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 23:49:06 +0000

I used to like Halloween, but in recent years, it has sucked. I can't wait for November 1 to roll around.

Episode 793: The Devil is Living in My House

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 04:58:52 +0000

This song is about trying to get rid of the devil and stuff.

Episode 792: They Thought I Was Gonna Have a Short Life

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 03:47:50 +0000

This is another song where I took a sample from that movie I'm makin' and made it into a song using the melody that the person talking's voice forms. Yes. The title pretty much conveys what the song's about.

Episode 791: Years Ago: 2025 Version

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 03:33:50 +0000

I was downloading hundreds of my old songs a few weeks ago cuz the website I had them on was going defunct (gosh darn it all). I came across this old ditty that I'd forgotten about, and I realized it's a nice little tune (or, at least, that's what my ears think - others might not agree). So I did a cover of my own song just for shits and giggles. It's a lot different from the original cuz I added a B phrase and some rap and stuff. I mean, the original is quite nice, but I was in the mood to revisit this old ditty, so here it is. It's a song that I originally wrote years ago that's called "Years Ago." That's an odd thing, all by itself.

Episode 790: Stupid Singing

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 03:43:36 +0000

This song could mean that I'm a stupid person singing; or it could mean that I'm a person singing stupidly. (And, now that I think of it, both are true in real life). The spirits mentioned in it could be booze or they could be spirits of dead people. I guess.

Episode 789: A Thousand Deaths

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 04:25:01 +0000

There was a dude speaking in the movie I'm making, who says "a thousand deaths." When I played it back, I realized it sorta made a melody when he said it, so I made it into a song. Here it is.

Episode 788: I Don't Care About Vampires Anymore

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 04:30:03 +0000

I was downloading a bunch of old ditties of mine onto a computer from a website I have 'em on that's no longer gonna exist, come September 30. I needed to do that cuz those songs would be hard for me to find, y'know, cuz I have 'em on a bunch of random thumb drives and stuff. Anyway, there were a couple years where I did lots of songs about vampires. I realized I haven't really thought about vampires in a long time.

Episode 787: Fire 5 Miles Away

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 04:06:37 +0000

That was a trip; my Watch Duty app thingy told me this afternoon that there was a brush fire in my town. I was all, oh gosh. Then it grew from .25 acres to 5 acres, and I'm all, oh gosh. I started gettin' my ducks in a row in case I had to evacuate. But they put the fire out after about an hour. Phew.

Episode 786: We Will Be Fine Reprise for Graham Greene

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 04:46:47 +0000

I got real sad yesterday when I found out Graham Greene died. He was one of my favoritest actors in the world. I actually wrote a requiem in 2015 for a character he played, who died, in the movie, Skins. Anyway, I got sad, so I did a little reprise of an old song from 2021 in honor of him. I changed some o' the lyrics and did a new rap. But my apologies to anyone within earshot of this song, and my apologies to Graham Greene, as well: My voice is extra special jacked up today. Ugh. Dust mites? Am I coming down with something. I might be fighting off a cold. Anyway, here it is.

Episode 785: Messing Around With New Recording Device

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 17:47:01 +0000

I'm messing around with a new recording device; this recording's really dry because I haven't gotten to the part of the manual with the bells and whistles in it yet. And I forgot to turn off my white noise machine, so that's the hiss you hear in the recording (there were screaming kids outside - I don't like them). If the white noise machine hadn't been turned on, it'd be a really clean recording, I think. I think so.

Episode 784: 10 Mile Wide Freeway

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 17:24:20 +0000

This is the first song of the 3rd Loosey Goosey Lucifer album. I'm having problems uploading it, though.

Episode 783: The Invisible Girl

Rebecca Pittenger — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 01:28:09 +0000

This is a song about bein' invisible, but it's not s super power. It's just plain old being invisible. Or maybe it is a super power, but the invisible person doesn't know it yet. The picture ain't directly related to the song, but it's kind of a similar concept.

Episode 782: I Don't Need You Anymore

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 20:42:30 +0000

This is a song about one of those last-straw moments. The straw that broke the camel's back. The final papercut of a death by a thousand paper cuts. And whatever other metaphor you can think of.

Episode 781: Singing At The End

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 03:11:40 +0000

The Drunk Church sings at the end of the world. (My 5000th end-of-the-world-song).

Episode 780: Where Did the Drinking Church Go

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 22:43:55 +0000

I probably won't get a chance to do music next week, so here's a little extra song this week to fill in the blank. It's probably not that good. Blank-filler songs aren't that good usually, but that's okay because this song is about the massive poopy writer's block I'm experiencing. A crappy song about doing crappy songs is a fine thing. I miss my drunk church. I hope they come back. Maybe they're standing behind me and I don't know it.

Episode 779: When the Sun Goes Supernova

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 21:46:47 +0000

This is a song about how nobody will be around to witness the sun going supernova when that eventually happens cuz we'll all be burned up cuz the state of California is burning up. It's a strange and almost surreal day when your high school that you graduated from becomes an evacuation shelter.

Episode 778: 2 Stoned

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 19:39:14 +0000

Those edibles can last a long time sometimes.

Episode 777: Stoopid Song Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 20:14:49 +0000

This is a song about a song I was working on yesterday that sucked. I stopped working on the song that sucked cuz it sucked, and I focused my attention on this here song, which is a song about the song that sucked.

Episode 776: country no song

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 04:50:44 +0000

This is the shittiest mix in the whole world; sorry about that. This is a song about how I haven't done country music in a while.

Episode 775: The Falling Down a Hole Song/Stay Together

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 04:33:40 +0000

There're people falling down a hole in the movie I'm making; theme music of that scene is an instrumental version of an old song that I turned around backwards in Audacity. I'm all, huh, I kinda like that backward melody; so I made a song with that melody, along with a little hook that came from a dream. It's kinda sorta about that scene a little bit. Or, in any event, it's a song about people falling down a hole together.

Episode 774: I Don't Want To Be Celebrating (The 4th Of July)

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 02:58:14 +0000

This is a song about how I don't want to celebrate the 4th of July (so I won't).

Episode 773: Wish You Could Stay

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 04:28:08 +0000

There are probably a thousand songs with this name, but it came to me in a dream, so here it is. It's about missing someone, as you can probably tell from the title.

Episode 772: All My Songs Are Boring These Days

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 04:35:09 +0000

Sorry for the rough mix; it got late and stuff, so I'll do the poking-around-in-my-DAW-to-make-a-better-mix tomorrow. This is a song about how it's been feelin' like my music gets old really fast recently. I dunno if that's due to depression-related dysphoria, or if it's just that my music is sucking these days. In any event, that's what this song is about.

Episode 771: New Face

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 04:39:30 +0000

There are times I find the mirror can be unkind. This is a song about getting a new face. It turned out to be about something different than I thought it was gonna be about.

Episode 770: A New Dark Age

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 04:00:55 +0000

Here's my song in response to recent events, like California Senator Alex Padilla getting manhandled, and all the crazy fucking insane nuts stuff happening in our country. We're heading into a new dark age. We're probably already there. Oh yeah, I attempted to draw a little caricature profile thingy of Dump. I don't know if you can tell that's him or not.

Episode 769: The Ghost of a Broken TV Set

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 03:41:50 +0000

This is a song about being the ghost of a broken TV set. It's sorta a metaphor for depression a little bit.

Episode 768: Today's Another Nightmare

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 31 May 2025 04:16:19 +0000

This is a song that's kind of almost a true story. It's about a person who only has nightmares instead of regular dreams. I still have regular dreams, but when I try to have lucid dreams, they always end up being horrible. I don't know if you'd call 'em nightmares technically speaking cuz it doesn't have a disturbing climax; but they're disturbing and shitty.

Episode 767: Grandma's In Heaven

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 24 May 2025 02:40:46 +0000

Crap, I couldn't get the mix right, bleh. I think it's cuz my voice doesn't have much resonance and stuff. That's what I get for trying to teach myself how to do heavy metal screaming and fucking up my voice (there isn't any of that in here - I sound like the kid in The Shining when I try to do it, ha ha ha). Anyway, this is a song about the spirit of someone's grandmother being in Heaven and communicating with that person that even though life sucks, there's a purpose to it. You're not really allowed to know what that purpose is until after you're dead. Who knows if that's the case in real life or not?

Episode 766: Then There Was Nothing

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 17 May 2025 04:43:07 +0000

This song was inspired by a dream where people died in a big flash of light and explosion-y-ness. It's about a person who is a ghost, stuck on earth, with the memory of her death repeating over and over.

Episode 765: Skinny, Unstoned Brain

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 10 May 2025 00:50:41 +0000

This is a song about those tolerance holidays or whatnot. At least I thought they were called tolerance holidays, but Google AI thingamagigger sez no. But Wikipedia sez yes - or it said something to the effect of, yes, going off meds for a while is called a holiday. So, there ya go. Anyway, it's a song about taking a break from pot to make one's tolerance go down. That's what this song is about.

Episode 764: Whiskey on Top

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 03 May 2025 21:16:08 +0000

I thought this was kind of a crap song yesterday, but it kinda grew on me a little bit. I might put it in the next Loosey Goosey Lucifer album, and stuff.

Episode 763: Dry As A Bone

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 03 May 2025 03:31:55 +0000

Damnitall, I tried this new supplement today, and it dried me out to the point where I can hardly even sing - argh! I'm not even going to post the other 2 songs I did today because they sound like ass-wipe. This is just a little number where I'm messing around with the theme of being all dried out cuz that's what I am. Argh.

Episode 762: Mess-Ups Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 02:28:42 +0000

What would happen if I recorded a song, and I kept all the mess-ups in there instead of recording over them? It would sound like this!

Episode 761: Waiting For Me

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 01:04:09 +0000

This is a song about ancestors comin' around to get you and take you to the afterlife when you die. It's a happy song about death.

Episode 760: There Were Ghosts Last Night

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 26 Apr 2025 03:49:22 +0000

This is a song about having ghosts in your house and offering them a beer.

Episode 759: What's Gonna Become of Us?

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 26 Apr 2025 00:54:19 +0000

It's another song about the fucked up world, and the likelihood of said world ending soon. I had this F# minor chord ringing over the whole thing that added a little color to the regular chords of the song, and it made it extra-special-depressing and stuff. This song is God-flushing-humanity-down-the-toilet-themed.

Episode 758: The Anti-Christ

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 04:12:59 +0000

This is a song about the anti-Christ comin' and stuff. It came to me to have the song be peaceful and sad. When I was a kid and I had end-of-the-world-dreams, they were sad. There was just this great sadness hanging in the air. That's sorta the vibe o' this here little ditty.

Episode 757: Covid Is Coming To Town

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 03:30:19 +0000

This is a song about when Covid was on the horizon - we were waiting for it to get here. Y'know, probably January-ish/February-ish of 2020. Something along those lines. There was that ominous feeling of a thunderhead on the horizon approaching slowly. You knew things were going to get bad, but you didn't know how bad. And you see it comin' and comin' and comin', and there's nothing you can do to make it stop. It's almost like the slow approach of Covid was like watching an accident in slow motion or something. It's just this thing happening and you can't make it stop. Oh, and the whole thing about toilet paper.

Episode 756: Weird Version of Storm Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 23:13:34 +0000

Here's what it sounds like when you take the song I just posted and turn it around. It's kind of a weird version of the storm song in the Hell movie I'm a-working on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb-nfREM3Kk&authuser=0
The link takes you to the first part of it - the movie, that is. It's gonna be a 3 part movie, and all that. This part is 22 minutes long, so it's a nice little TV-show-length animated thingamagigger, in case you're bored and want some entertainment.

Episode 755: Backwards Tornado Song

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 23:06:00 +0000

It's been about 2.5 years since I've recorded a backwards version of one of my songs - geez, has it been that long? This is a song that's in that Hell-movie I'm working on. But I performed it backwards and stuff.

Episode 754: Maybe I'll Get Really Drunk

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 01:59:30 +0000

Yeah, in times such as these, there's not much more that you can do than get really drunk.

Episode 753: Natural Dream (Rough Cut)

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 22:17:46 +0000

I think this is a decent song, but it's a crap recording. Bleh. But it's a song about how we've gotten away from who we're naturally supposed to be, as a species.

Episode 752: Rip in the Universe

Rebecca Pittenger — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:24:31 +0000

This is just me messing around. I was recalling the days when I said really weird things when I was rapping cuz I was trying to get rhymes and stuff. I just went hog wild saying weird things to make many rhymes in the rap at the end. The song is (loosely) about what the title says it is about.

Episode 751: I Wonder If There's Something Wrong With Me

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 03:54:39 +0000

I woke up feelin' off this morning, yes, indeed, and I wondered if there was something wrong with me. Then I remembered this song from yesteryear I did a long time ago. It's a wee little ditty about wondering if there's something wrong with me - I think it was 2002 that I did it. This is sorta an updated version; I don't really remember what the original one sounded like, though, so maybe it's a whole new song.

Episode 750: Two Ghost Houses (Sad Altadena Song)

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 03:27:43 +0000

This song is a true story: I used to live in Altadena, and ever since the fire, I was wondering how my old house and how my landlords' house fared (they're right next door to each other). A friend and I drove there a few weeks ago, and my old house and my landlords' house are still standing! The house next door to my landlords' house was also standing. But the whole rest of the block, and most of the rest of the street, were burnt down - just total devastation. These 2 houses, which used to be such happy places, looked sad. They looked ghostly. They looked like houses that didn't know what to do with themselves, being on a block of houses that had been destroyed. They looked desolate and uncanny. That's what this song is about.

Episode 749: Better to Fight

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 01:25:01 +0000

Similar to yesterday's tune, I'm doing another little number that sort of fills in the blanks on the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2 that I'm working on. Loosey Goosey Lucifer, the Goddess of Light, is getting ready to tell the Drinking Church, members, who are in a state of sad resignation, that it's better to fight the evil dictator who has taken over their country.

Episode 748: What Do You Do?

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 03:45:00 +0000

This is another song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2. I'm not sure which number song it'll be...maybe the 3rd. The Drunk Church is resigned to dying because the world is doomed.

Episode 747: I Want to Do the Chester Bennington Music

Rebecca Pittenger — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 01:05:01 +0000

The hook of this song came from a dream, and stuff. It's about Chester Bennington and stuff. I started judging myself in the middle of writing/recording it. You might be able to tell.

Episode 746: Crap Songs About Owls

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 22 Mar 2025 02:23:36 +0000

This is a crap song about how all my songs about owls end up being crap songs. I've only written a couple of them, but they were all crappy. And shitty, too.

Episode 745: Doomsday Fly

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 01:34:11 +0000

This is another song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2; it's another song from the point of view of the fly. This fly has psychic abilities and has taken a trip to the Doomsday Clock. This fly has a warning for humanity, sort of.

Episode 744: Cautious Optimism

Rebecca Pittenger — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 21:46:24 +0000

I don't think the words, "cautious optimism," are actually in the song, but that's what the song's about, and stuff. I'm considering using this music or a better version of it for the closing credits o' the first chapter of the movie I'm working on. I haven't decided yet. See, it's the end of the first part of a trilogy, but the trilogy will be all one big movie. It's like, hey, let's end on a hopeful note, but not too hopeful.

Episode 743: Spirits of Drunk People

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 05:17:39 +0000

This is a song about earthbound spirits of drunk people.

Episode 742: It's Not Me

Rebecca Pittenger — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 05:08:44 +0000

There was a little snatch of songy-ness I had years and years ago when I was improvising stuff after smoking weed. I decided to make a song out of it and stuff. It's that usual theme of humans destroying the Earth, and me being an alien and looking on. My voice is poop today, to the extent that I'm almost a little embarrassed to post this.
