Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

I had a dream a few days ago that had this song in it. It's another song about bein' all fucked up. Craptastic poopy-headed crappiness, I realized after I got this song all good and recorded that I inadvertently plagiarized one of the melodies in this year's Christmas song. Pooppooooooppoopp. Oh well, I like this song well enough anyway, so I guess I'll go ahead and post it.

Here's a song about how I do believe I cain't out-do last year's Christmas song. But that's okay, cuz this li'l number is its own thing.

This is a song where I improvised and tried to pretend I was stoned while improvising. Sometimes, that hooks me into that stoned mind-set, but I don't have to actually get stoned. (See, I have a lot of stuff I wanna get done today, and stonedness would be not great at this time. Actually, that's sort of what the song's about - how I wanna get stoned every day, but, well, I gotta do other things. Yeah, I gotta do other things. In any event, I'm going to mark this song as bein' "explicit" cuz even though there're no curse words in it, pot is still illegal in some states, and I hear singin' about illegal substances makes a song "explicit." 

Here's the next song in the fucked up relationship album; it's the chopped up version of the song about the girl regretting breaking up with her ex-boyfriend. It continues along the same theme.

This is the next song in the effed up relationship album; it deviates from the frame a teeny tiny bit, in that this is a song about what's kicking around in the main character's unconscious (and/or something she doesn't want to reveal to the mean boyfriend), but it's not a chopped up version of another song. See, this song came to me in a dream this morning, and it felt like it was tellin' me to record it and put it in this here effed up relationship album. So, here it is.

This is a song about being fucked up. I'm not sure what I think of it at this point, but maybe it'll grow on me.

This is a song about how I like heavy bass lines. I think my music would sound lame without 'em.

This song is the next song in the fucked up relationship album: It's a continuation of the narrative of the night from Hell with the Boyfriend From Hell. It's about how the main character - having had insomnia and not a wink of sleep after the boyfriend was an asshole from Hell - witnesses the sun rising. And it bums her out - there's nothing more bumming than watching the sunrise after not sleeping at all.

This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. It's a continuation of the narrative of the previous song, about the horrible night where it became clear just how fucked up this fucked up relationship is/was. It's got the same trigger warning as the last song, too. Oh, yeah, the picture is an excerpt from the graphic novel I'm working on about this very fucked up relationship of fucked upness.

This is another one of those random songs that comes from a dream or a reverie or whatever you'd like to call it. It's about a village with ashes in it. It might be a metaphor or something.
