Episode 8 - Little Tank Girl

Welcome to Episode 8 of SnoBahr Filks! I'm Amanda "SnoBahr" Geyer, and today's bit of frivolity centers around City of Heroes, and the Paragon Police Department tank suit, which "Little Tank Girl" is giving away on the CoH board.

Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse

For the benefit of my City of Heroes friends, I present BoyZilla, introducing the Zombie Apocalypse!

Episode 7 - Scans To Argo

Episode 7 of Snobahr Filks. This time around, due to various reasons, I'm not playing guitar on this. I have lifted the music track from a Leslie Fish recording and laid my voice track over it. When I listened to this without the background music... it sucked. So, even though my backup singers are singing something else, it really needs Leslie on guitar. As usual, my audio quality sucks, but as this is November of 2008, I took a page from Steve Savitsky's livejournal and am doing music and art instead of NaNoWriMo. I'm hoping to put out at least two episodes a week, through the end of December. If I get off my butt enough to do so, at least.So. On to Episode 7! Scans To Argo, by "Thnidu," who is thnidu at gmail dot com, to the tune of Leslie Fish's earwormy Banned From Argo. Keep a bowl handy, because your brain might dribble away. Background foleys through this introduction by my son, who is having a grand time in the other room, with some kitchen utensils and empty coffee cans. That's my boy!"Scans to Argo" ttto "Banned from Argo", Leslie Fish© 2008 thnidu, recorded with permission

Episode 6 - Trains, Planes and Rocket Ships

Iron Bard - 2nd Installation - suggested by FilkerTom on LiveJournal, the music for this was "Down by the station" children's song. My mom sang that to me when I was a toddler, and I still love that song. My own son chugs around the house to it.Lyrics can be found here

Episode 5 - Spider's Hope

Hope and Serenity - Following Seanan McGuire's lead on doing an "Iron Bard" challenge, this is the first entry. VASpider suggested "Hope and Serenity," so I had a bit of fun tracking down an instrumental version of the theme from Firefly (written by Joss Whedon), over at "The Signal" podcast (available through iTunes).

Episode 4 - The Wager

A round in 3 parts, this song has been sung since at least Elizabeth I's time. It deals with flatulence.

Episode 3 - Mom's Birthday Song

Happy Birthday to my mom! I think that she's Da Bomb! I wrote this for my mother, and it was a lot of fun making it.

Episode 2 - Grandfather's Clock

A traditional version of "Grandfather's Clock." A friend remarked that it's the fastest version she'd ever heard, and I'll certainly grant that. It's a fun song to play.
