My hearing has gotten severe over time.  Everything I have written with the exception of a couple of requests has been a rediscovery of songs form my childhood.    I am a soprano and also can sound like just about anything else I want to.   I may not be able to help much with this but I thought I would offer it anyway.

Midi quality- sometimes it's hard for me to tell if it's a good one I'm using or not.  I do play harmonica and have been told I do well with it.  Would it be better if I played my backings for songs I record in the future?  Might turn out real weird but I love weird and different.

Maybe the unusual instrumentation will work for you.

I found that Weird Al's parodies were funnier startng from the 2nd album just because he had arrangements that tried to match the OS completely.

My first recording, Everybody Must Hate Ants, was done with my harmonica.  It wasn't quite the same as the os but I'm thinking overall it might sound better then some and or all of my midi recordings.  Can I ask for some opinions on that?  http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=651331

Hey Ann! I didn't realize you had recorded songs other than Everybody Must Hate Ants. Although my review of that recording was less than stellar (sorry about that), I listened to some of your other recordings. The MIDI to Paint It Black sounds good, and there is no mic hum. I thought the White Room midi was far above average quality. Your voice is good there, but the microphone hum is very noticeable and distracts from the experience. The mic hum in I Need To Wash Pants is painful in places - I'm not sure how, but you've managed a Slayer amount of feedback in spots. I couldn't rate the MIDI there at all due to it.

By the way, the "Live That's In Your Blood" song has only 10 seconds of recording before it stops - not sure if your upload got cut off, but I don't think that's the parody you had intended us hearing.

I know you're looking more for an opinion here on MIDI vs doing your own thing. I'd say both are good - you've found better MIDIs than I have.

Thank you Red Ant. I can re record those and try to get them fixed up. 

I have nothing to hide "Live That's In Your Blood" is a parody I wrote and got 5's on. 

Someone e-mailed me asking how I recorded. It is no secret I’ll tell everyone here.  My laptop came with the program Sound Recorder.  I plug in a microphone I steal from my brother, hit play on Windows Media Player, Hit record on Sound recorder, and go for it dude.  Usually I have Word up too (hey! “Word Up” he he ).  I save the wave file once I think the recording is okay.  I use another program I got with my laptop called Xlilsoft the lets me encode the wave to a MP3. 

Also there was an apology for not knowing I had more recordings.  I don’t anyone to feel sorry about this.  I haven’t done a good job informing anyone that I had done more.

Do tell me if there is microphone hum or feedback or something sounds like **** so I can fix it. 

"Live That's In Your Blood" has been updated.  I hope to redo Bathroom and Pants as soon as possible so I can start attempting some new stuff.

I found a better midi and re-recorded my Pants parody.  I haven't been able to get online for a couple of days.

I still can't seem to write parodies so I think I Might record

"Black Sharpie Marker" and "Disneylandwasfunwhenyoungbutnowitsquiteobnoxious "

I'm having some troble recording my Disney thing.  I think it's because I can't do every character and voice and still keep up. Rocksann you have given yourself to high of a goal, just record the basics and Ann will display the added lyrics. 

Yeah! I did my Disney thing!

Might be starting to talk to myself, but I seem to enjoy doing so anyway.  I'm thinking about doing something with a cartoon character(s) like chipmunks or Brak.  I"m planning on using my harmonica rather them midis for a change.

Cool...go for it!  (I figured I'd at least add something)

(I figured I'd at least add something)


I appreicate it man and listening to my current recording.  YOU ROCK! 

I decided to record another one of my already written parodies Sunday Afternoon

I'm still thinking about recording some already written songs.  I want to sing more then I want to write right now.  On the 11th I m going to have surgery on my right ear.  If successful the severeness of my speech hearing loss should be much less.

Thanks Bad 

I do not feel good right now ,but I made it just so you know.  This thing is taped all around my head making it hard for me to keep my eyes open.  Consider me out for at least a week. something I linked in another location that might be fun to look at http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/queen345.shtml

Rest from your surgery, Ann. I took a look at your parody: well writen, and, as Aggy said, very personal. Get well soon!

I feel better today. The strap around my head has been loosened and moved a little further from my eyes.  I have been told that during surgery the doctor found one of the bones in my ear necessary for hearing detached.  He tried to get it back on with some tissue and cartillage for now but needs to make sure the perforation is healed before doing an operation for that if he needs to.   

I did another one of my already written parodies before my surgery I'm going to put up.  I joined B.A.D but feel like I should wait for my ear to get better and or get something better then a 9$ mic. also or figure out how to use Anvil studios or Audacity.

My next Doctors appointment had been scheduled for the 30th and I'll probably get some kind of idea how well my surgery went. 

The doctor says it looks good, but I will have to wait another 2 or 3 months to see if my hearing is any less severe.  >:( sick of waiting fjhgjdkfkjgkdfjfk;sdjfgiljfnvks >:( 

I can put my current mp3s on B. A. D, but I'm not sure I'm happy with all of them.  I'm starting to feel like my account is a joke.  Then again I know that I go hard on myself and also am working against my biggest disability that has come. 

  I'm off to the arcade so I can win a few games and feel less upset.

Hey I got an Idea now! I'll do No Paticular place To Go and play my haromnica in between.  this way I wont have to worry about recording sound from both me and the computer at the same time.  I just need to write it

Not working out as well as I hoped.  I picked up my harmonica and started playing stuff ( Firehouse five stuff to things like People are Strange and Touch of Grey by Greatful Dead)  I don't seem to have as much of a problem with my tonal hearing as I do with speech.  I ought to think about recording some tunes.

Some of you know this, but I'm all hooked up to B.A.D under A.  The community over there can use some more members if you'd like to say hi, add a thread, or both.  I know Dave will apprecate it. 

still don't want to write and my doctors appointment is in March.  I cant hear any better at this time and I... I don't know the first surgery I had was at 4 years of age on one of my ears.  Ear operations, brain tumor (and the radiation), stroke, eye sewn, and trying for the second time the fix the hole in my right ear.  I'm getting absolutely sick of seeing doctors and sick of waiting >:(  Anyway I looked through my past writings and found 15 I'd like to sing, but will still have to look for some of these midis.  I was also once told that Bathroom has some microphone buzz.  I can try recording that again if thats still the case.

Could people take a listen at my 3 recordings?

www.soundclick.com/josh2

The first two are old ones with midis used, where as the latest one is brand new, just recorded and has an instrumental version of the sgon behind it.

hey what are you doing here? this is my thread ;D  Do you know about www.badave.com ?  might get some more listeners.

It’s got me! Whatever cold/allergy starts and my hearing is worse until spirng starts again.  Now is a much better time for me to make recording plans, write, and maybe do some midi hunting so I’ll be ready to record when the time comes. 

Here’s a list of songs I might want to record ( lets see if I remember how to do this right)

Some of these songs have a few *ed words.  I wonder if I should keep them censored or just say them.

went to the doctor a little while ago The hole looks like it's healing good and I guess that means I'll have to wait even longer.  Unless something happins where I can hear again the doctor will want to give me a metal bone. 

Oh oh I wish I could tell
No help to yell
heart cries from pain


How I wish how I wish I could hear   

I had joined a magic forum a little while ago and they are recording tricks on youtube.  I thought about doing it too and I took a look at my possible recordings and thought it would be fun to not only sing my fast lane parody eventually, but try making a video.  I might want to try and make videos to go with my recordings so far to give me something to do because I already know I'm not going to be able to record everything with my hearing like this.  It might be fun to learn and I got a computer nerd type bother brother that might be willing to help me. 

I posted a possible list of songs to record  I've also gone crazy in the past and saved a bunch of midis.  I am now going through them and seeing if I have or can easily fix them up for recording. Whatever I have I think I should go ahead and do.  Other midis I end up having might motivate me to write parodies using those OS's.   

My mom has decided that I shouldn't be doing anything on Amiright or here during the weekdays.  She says it's a fruitless waste of time. I am still going to be around because mom cant watch me every second.

The plan is Stairway To Heaven for one of Dave's and ABC for one of  Matthias's. I can write my parody by hand and type them in at night when I finish.  I'll do the same with one of my Big 7 songs so I can do the same.

midis ready for me to record with from my possible list are  Michelle, Comfortably numb, and Black Magic Woman. I'll probably do C Numb

I now have an account here http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mntaken  I did a little trick for now and hope to be doing parodies and other things as well as more tricks. 

I'm already writing a parody to use with a magic routine and How I'm going to do these tricks is coming to me very quickly. 

My magic parody is up on youtube mntaken  I don't have any backing sound and I don't know what to think of this since I've never heard of anyone trying to do this.  This should be up at badave.com  soon too.

I've started putting my stuff over here too http://dashboard.filefront.com/mynameistaken

I have future (sometime soon I hope) recording plans for Be Our Guest

hmmm  Why don't I slow down with my video idea and do it as a final for my big 7?  I've already casted off for the wreck and I'm sure once I get a pie idea I get right in to it because I know the OS.  ABC is in my brains recycling bin right now.

Yesterday I spent a lot of time in soundclick changing colors, pictures, my station and noticed there was a parody genre that my songs weren't listed as so I changed that.  I found the section for parodies listed under comedy.   I don't see everyone there. 

due to being sick  I have been delayed in time.  The ship is still going to crash some day and a fresh pie delievered.  I have an unrealised recording I plan to put on Soundclick this weekend.

The ship is anchored and the pie isn't being perpaired.  The medal cant mean that much to me right now because I just don't want to work on these.  I'll try working on writing, planning, and practicing for Bog.  Joel had me record Feed The Nerds.  Thats what I'm trying to have him help me get up since I cant hear anyway. 

Sunday morning I lost the used monitor I was using because of my burnt out screen.  I'll be getting a new computer sometime soon hopefully. 

I'm back with a new monitor,keyboard, and mouse. 

We will be leaving Thursday to go down South and visit some reletives.

I meant next Thursday anyway I just put Feed the nerds in Soundclick.  Shouldn't be any worse then usual.

Pack today gone tomarrow.  nothing real special just some visiting. I've already been to Medieval times a couple times and the quality has gone down but I guess my brothers would like to see it again so okay.  We'll be watching a baseball game in Anaheim.  We'll be heading home Sunday.

I'm back * evil laughter*  Midevil Times turned out a little better then last time.  The chicken was a big as the plate. ( all right dig in!) We had to leave the ball game a little early because it was freezing and it started to rain.  The score was Angles 11Padres 1 so I have no idea who won.  I didn't get to see the rally monkey :\'(

I just put Black Sharpie Marker up @ Soundclick.

Just listened to several of your parodies........thoroughly enjoyable. Some (like Bathroom) have a loud hum ....hard to hear. Loved Black Sharpie Marker... ;D

....and here I thought you were just a master gamer (in the arcade).........

Thank you I love it when people love enjoy my stuff.  I'll redo Bathroom because a lot of people liked that one.  I'd eventually like to update all of them. I have a mic thats a little better then the one I started with and I'm trying to watch my brother, Joel, so I can start using Audacy instead of just Sound Recorder and no editing options.   

Upgrade for Bathroom planned this Weekend.  The hum is probably from my laptop motor.  I think that since I'm not writing anything now it is a good time to be upgrading my songs.  If I'm still not writing I can record some more.  I'd still like to do a video with BOG but I don't have part one written all the way yet. 

Bathroom upgraded. I'd like to have the rest of them upgraded by/ during next weekend.  After that I have 10 songs picked out that I wouldn't mind recording.  I'll have to go on another midi hunt to find some of them and might not find them at all.  I'm also going to try and get myself writing again.

Yes...that's much better... ;)

Yes...that's much better... ;)


Good to know. 

I have my next ear appointment sceduled for July 15.

I've Updated House Of The setting Sun

I'm not going to kill myself trying to fix all my recordings.  I'll do it next week.  


Edit    this kind of sounds like a um ..dangling modifier?

I've recorded all my fix ups I just need Joel to make the final touches so I can put them up. 

Next Week I plan on finishing My Wreck parody, working on my A pie, and Videoing part one of BOG if I can.  I might record another song

rocksann is a little  >:( because She cant get Joel to help.  She doesn't want to record anything else because she can't do the editing herself.  Ann will just have to stick to writing for now. 

Finally everything is updated! 

Still working on A pie and something else for my writings.  I was thinking about redoing my Change it Black performance for better sound, but my mic sucks anyway so I might want to wait until I upgrade my equipment. 

I'm working on a few bus and bus travel writings.  I'll probably record at least one of my songs I've found a midi for.  I'm going to try to do My AB Normal Pink Floyd parody.

I've been reading about different microphones and how they work.  Looks like Shure Sm 58 is the way to go.  I'm not sure if my computer can handle it right now but It will need to be replaced eventually and so will the bone in my ear.  I read about pop filters too and tried to make one.  It didn't do any good though.

Anyway I'm going nuts while I'm waiting for the ear doctor.  I Cant seem to keep myself just writing.  Music has been so important to me all my live and I can sing.  I just needed to be reminded that I could still sing.     

Feel better after gitting A Pie out.  As far as finishing the big 7 I was thinking about doing a fiseo for BOG.  I cant get myself to write it though.  Mabye if I told you what I had in mind and you want to see if I can pull it off it would incourage me to white it.  If not I'll just write something eventually.  The idea Is I'm your Jest. The queen is in search of a new jester.

I got 2 bus ideas  so I plan to get those writes out soon.

Also rocksann is probably going to record something or two this weekend 

Thought I was going to record a a couple but ended up dropping a few.  I have 4 more midis I seem to have availible and might think about recording.  The two Pink Floyd midis I have sound awesome.  I remember my Fast Lane midi sounding great.  Since It's about Sonic the hedgehog I had thought about a video project to do with that.  I still don't feel like writing bog and it makes me mad.  Cant start a fire without a spark.

Maybe record the two Floyds and see if Joel and I can get together and do some stuff for Fast Lane.

I'm taking a break from writing, recording, and videoing at least until Idol starts.  I'll just hang around here and there idea collecting.     

I am going to try doing my Youtube performance again.  I'm thinking about using my headphones this time and recording it in Audicy.  I don't see any reason why I shouldn't add a backing track eaither.  I'm going to do it again some time soon since I've already fixed my recordings best I can for now and I'm not writing a whole lot.

I'm still planning to re record my act.  I hope will still have enough will to write for Idol.  I don't really want to record any more on soundclick.  I do tend to really enjoy performing live.  I may end up doing stuff for Youtube and not parodying as much.  However I do like the Idea of doing so.  I don't want to end up paying to use music and I love music.   

I've been thinking magic songs like Abracadabra and stuff like Two Of Hearts

If I do magic I will have to plan what to do and how to do it.

I will take any requests for a trick you would like me to try and do and or a song you would like me to work with.

I am now going to forget re recording my youtube thing and move on to other Youtube ideas. 

If I were to do a magic trick and put on a cd or whatever in the background would that be okay to do or  am I supposed to pay some fee or something for using someones song?  I wouldn't be making money in this case. 

just a Youtube Idea if I can pull it off.  Using Back In Black  and doing another color change job.  You haven't seen me juggle yet and what I juggle is what I plan on changing colors.

I wrote up to the chorus and am testing plan A on doing the tricks.  I'm excited and yes something is comming.

The skin in my ears is infected.  The medal bone operation is going to be sceduled.  I'ts not expected that I will gain a whole lot back from this.  My doctor has an e-mail so I'm going to go ask him some questions and stuff.

Youtube idea is still coming.

The bone surgery is scheduled for Sept. 10th

exited about that ^  through logic I'm in agreement fith this doctor.  He wants to do this and check on my left ear.  After fixing the bone in my ear if there's still a hearing loss then a hearing aid or device would be what I need.

My Youtube idea is written but I need something from the store and perhaps a little practice. this week or some time next week.

I'm going to work on my idle thing today. 

Idle parody has been done.  Youtube idea still in progress and soon I'll have nothing to do but see how many times I mess up in front of the camera.  I'd lik to send one or three things in just as writings, but can't really think of anything.

My mind is just kind of wandering around like it usually does.  I've been thing about my Soundclick account ( haven't done anything with it. don't know what to do with it, but deleteing it Isn't a good solution), My Youtube acount and doing stuff there, Starting to start my own live ( get my ears fixed, if succesful report to SSI, they'll probably kick me out, I'll have the freedom to busker and or buy stock if I wanted, I could also try to make a little change at Soundclick.

Anyway if you have any ideas for things you would like to see me do , hear me sing, or anything else I'm open.
   

Joel didn't want to get together a video tape with me yesterday so I changed one of my tricks.  It kind of went off topic with the rest of what I was doing.  Still want to get video it today or tomorrow.

I've gone quite a while without dreams in my sleep.  I'm getting them again.  Usually they are just stuff like a first day of school situation or something, but I missed my dreams.

I'm gonna get my idle entry in And record Back In Black.  When I do the performance I'm going to end it at the Ins because I seem to be having trouble with the timing of getting back to the song.  I have it all written out though for Amiright.

Halloween is going to be coming up.  Beware of parody writes and youtube videos that may be released in October.  Especially if I get a successful surgery and it helps my hearing.   

I think it's time for me to take a writers break.  I am done with idle  unless someone really wants me to stay in it.  I'll get Black videoed one of these days and see if I can get some Halloween ideas to submit later.  Maybe I'll do a Soundclick recording from my past works.  There's still some parodies of mine I might want to try recording.

I looked through all my writings.  There are three that I think would be good to recording because they're things people can relate to.  Disneyland was fun when Young- theres a midi for Supercal but it leaves out parts and limits me.
Who put this *rap in my fasta food order- there's a midi for WPT Bomp  but the midi seems fast in places to me.  My other choice was Ickity yuckedy Euw.  BB Boo isn't much of a song.  Just playing harmonica on Scounclick is not as impressive sounding as a midi, but on Youtube the sound Is not always as big of an issue.   

 

I just got together with Joel and found out that most of the tricks and stuff I just cant do.  Not a good song pick ( too fast for most stuff) and I'm trying to cram too much together anyway.  For the one trick that I can make work I'll probably want to make a routine for and put that up on Youtube. 

Nope, I can't do that either.   I'll just have to rewrite my parody where those tricks were.  That's going to be so hard.  I don't think I'll ever get this done ;)

Well Darn it,  **it has been happening and this was the last day before Joel goes back to school.  Maybe we can do it  Friday. Hmm.. Friday, is anything going on Friday?  Well I hope you'll like it if it ever gets out.

The ACDC recording is cancelled because it's just not working out.  I may do some magic tricks on Youtube.

Good news is I should have your Idol winning song on the AmIRight All Stars account by Monday--can't guarantee it--but it looks like it's going to work out!

8) yeah wasn't one of my best writes, but as long as it gives people a few chuckles then I'm happy. 

Joel downloaded some sort of program.  Used one of my Cd's and clicked to take the vocals out and told me it sounds better then Midis. I'm not sure if this would be okay to use for backgrounds to parodies or not.  I did pay for the Cd's though and this thing doesn't have any effect on anything in Youtube anyway so it might be okay.  I might want to see if there are any good writes I have written with the OS on CD and use this program if it is okay to use.     

I don't have many cd's and didn't find anything.  There really aren't any more writes I want to record right now on Soundclick.  Equipment is down and I cant really record anything for Youtube if I thought of anything.  Parody juice is down so I cant write. 


Every ounce of energy, runnin has been drained
So forget about much writen, Eguipments down a shame

Here I am, with a block again
Here I am, broken stage
Here I go, back to bed again
Here I am, turn the page   
 

Well I know I cant do much right now so this is a good time not to have any Ideas.  I mentioned something about maybe doing parodies and using my harmonica.  I looked in songfacts at the songs and recognized I Should Have Known Better, Love Me Do, and Piano Man.  I know there's more and also things that could sound okay with harmonica.

Lately I've been picking up an Ibanez and trying to find stuff by ear.  Never could remember my cords in the past and get lost with tablature so forget reading music.   
 

Okay I'm sitting here trying to find stuff on the guitar.  * there there now that wasn't right* hmm... workin on R's and B's

Miss Rocksann and her pretend band. This would be fun to do on Youtube.   

You know it might be fun to do that, but I just have been getting these feelings that I'm going to be going through a lot of ch ch changes in my live.  I think I'm just going to have to forget trying to write a bunch of stuff or do a bunch of stuff on Youtube.  I'm going to have less time doing this kind of stuff and more time spent on what mom considers a job.  I'm probably going to be going through a lot of b.... wars with my mom.  Fear of the unknown and The pain from pain I'm still going to probably have might be what is making me feel sick right now.

Don't expect anything, but I do want to get some Halloween parodies written.   



 

I'll be packing and leaving with my mom after dinner to go to Sacramento for the night.  I need to be at the hospital at 7:30am.  I'll most likely be absent for a day or three.

I ment tomarrow whatever I'm too exited

I'm back in black
Extra pain I lack
One day is too long so I'm glad to be back

I am going nuts and want to do something with my accounts.  I'm going so nuts I think I'll try submitting a little parody about being nuts tonight.

I' m thinking about doing something for Youtube.  I haven't really got a parody or magic performance idea,but maybe I can give some juggling lessons and ...

I may have got some sound now, but most of my problem seems to be with the brain like I thought.  I still will be having problems hearing.

It may be a good time for me to stop doing parodies for a while and practice magic.  I've never put in a lot of practice in the past.     

As you know I've been wanting to do something with my Soundclick and Youtube accounts.  Well I have a allergy/scinus thing right now so not now.  Trying to come up with stuff for a Back In Black has left me with some Ideas to do a video for Black Sharpie Marker.  I think I would like to get a midi in for my Paint It Black video.  Might have to redo it.

Over at B.A.D's Ive got a comment that My Pants parody doesn't sound good.  Crummy Midi? ( could probably use an update or fix)  Am I off? Both?    I'm also nave a comment for being loud and quiet in areas in my vampire Rising Sun parody.

Think I'll just talk to myself some more over here.

I fully heal In November.  I'm not supposed to go head banging or anything like that.  I'll be seeing the ear doctor again I think on Nov. 2.  I get my teeth cleaned on the 4th (Yes aaaaaaahlection day got to decide what I want to do for that).  My hearing loss is now officially called a disability now (it’s about time).

I'm going to be trying to start volunteering or doing some kind of job.  Go to United Way and just see if they have anything I can do I guess.  I will have the goal of complete ling given tasks best to my ability.

Now for the accounts

Find better midi for Pants Parody and re record.

I want to see if I can get a midi into my change it Black video.  I guess I could redo it, but I might just leave it alone for now.

Black Sharpie Marker Performance thought up and ready.  Use current recording or try to sing it again while performing?  I know I'm just going to end up driving myself nuts asking sound questions, but did the slurring on that recording some out okay or who cares because everyone deals with that?  I remember having the headphone microphone up by my nose and tried to keep more to the vowel.

I went to see if I can hear me and I think I can hear me better then I use to.  Then I got mad at me again for sounding like a chipmunk and had to remind myself that stupid microphones do that.  It seems there's not much I can do at Sc and I don't detect a big problem.  It's fine until I get a better microphone.  If I get any ideas for lower tone songs or something I might go for it.  Or I could just do a chipkmunk parody or something.  I got a harmonicorn.

If I want to perform Black Sharpy Marker then I should just go for it.  Talk to Joel maybe do it this weekend.

Added  warning Sc Idea to try                  added later  okay this ain't gonna work  stupid midi. 

Joel and I got in a video game playing and Futurerama watching mood.  We'll try to do Black Sharpie next week.

My project for the week will be trying to get BOG written.  This will be my next thing to get on youtube.

Well I have more time to think about how to perform BSM anyway.  I ought to figue out how to set up our old Proscan camera.  It doesn't pick up sound, but I was thinking of maybe using the recording I've already done for sound. 

Joel and I got together to film and BSM is just not going to happin.  I feel disapointed with myself but it's not working now let it go.

I havent been able to get myself to Write Bog. 

I can't seem to get myself to do anything anymore.   

I'm going to try videoinging BSM this weekend because I'm really in the mood to now.  I'd also like to give you a Christmas present or who knows how many.  Here's the scoop,  brother John bought himself a snowball ( not the kind that melts, the microphone)  and said I could barrow it sometimes.  I'd like to sing some of my stuff I haven't yet.  This will depend on how many good midis I find and how many times John will let me borrow the snowball.  I'm asking for my own snowball this Christmas.

Anyway if you have a favorite song of mine that you want me to see if I can record or upgrade let me know.

Well yes no do don't know. I did say Christmas not Thanksgiving, although I'm trying to get in that Happy Together thing done.  I found a midi for what I'd like to release closer to Christmas. 

I'm going to be meeting with a guy from Drail to talk about their independent living services. 12/9

Happy Together is up at Sc.  Lets see if I can get BSM done next week.  If not the video a snowball upgrade.  I'd like to do both. 

going to be having company Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Unless they ask how I do my recordings or want me to perform for them, I'll schedule this for next week.

Still want to video,but instead I want to snowball you your big Christmas present. 

video equipment problems, wildcard is not happy.  " Okay rocksann finish the 3or 4 more parodies we've found midis for".  "Ann can look for some more midis and write more parodies" :D


Ms rocksann and her pretend band?  The thought has crossed my mind.

Wow ...you really do talk to yourself in this thread!  ;D

Think I've lost my mind and it's not the first time http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/manfredmann9.shtml

we use to fight http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thedoors81.shtml now I'm use to having muiltiple names

Trying very hard to get your present in and I got my fingers crossed that I'll be able to.  I have to time the lyrics to the music best I can and with some songs that isn't easy for me.  I love singing though so I'm not stopping.  I'll probably be working on this and my video all days long this weekend. 

okay I'm frusterated.  I was going to record I Shot The Reindeer for you because It's my best Christmas write.  I guess I found it more annoying then anything and never really payed attention to how it was sang.  I get lost after a while and my head goes back to (I shot the sheriff).  I might not be the only one with that problem.  I don't really have any other good Christmas writes and I haven't really found that many more midis so I guess snowball upgrading my songs is what I'll be doing.

The video will be comming.

Hey you know what?  I bet you do. There's a lot of crummy of lyrics to get messed up with.  I think I found some workable lyrics. I might get this out yet.

okay, I think you know I got that recording done and within the next day or two I want to get my video done.  After that I guess I'll be upgrading songs and maybe doing some magic routines on Youtube if I can think of any. 

Got my video up and am working on upgrading songs.  I am thinking about doing Ms rocksann for my next video and hooking it up at Sc. 

I went to the ear doctor and got tested.  I am very happy to announce that my hearing loss is no longer profound. 

everything snowballed except Writer's Block which I don't want to do.

Kind of disappointed, I was going to do my first cover song, but I got a midi that sounded weird to me then I went to a a karoke place and got someone's cover with different timing on the words.  I'll pick another song to do some time maybe.

Can I get any other ideas out?

Soundclick ?  Probably end up recording about everything I can eventually.

Youtube One-One        I'll get it done some day

This cold front had got me feeling like a zombie ( yes, I'm not there I'm not there I'm not there

My parody writing days are gone, doesn't mean there aren't going to be any more or I'm giving up.  SoundClick recordings reminded me I can sing proven to myself I can still sing.  I may still record, but that's not what I want to do.  I want to Youtube and do my One juggling.  I think I mentioned a Back in Black parody before that didn't work.  I'm going to make it work out.

Don't give up, Ann. Even though it's been like, forever, since I posted, I still have ideas - maybe a day will come to bring some of those ideas to completeness.

Good to see that you got most of your hearing back.

btw, for me, recording is probably as much if not more work than writing.

signature banned as well

I'm not giving up anything I'm just moving on.  I don't have what I use to to do that many writings, but what I do have now are friends to talk to online and I enjoyed ending what Proud called a game.  I enjoyed helping and watching badave.com get started and take off. 

About my hearing, I was told that it is out of profoundness.  It still could be severe.  The good news is I am borrowing (and signed up to have purchased for me) a Pocket Talker.  It's a little box with a microphone and I can plug an ear bud in to it.  Helps my volume loss.


Ear better or not I'm going to need to call some kind of get together soon.  Both parodist and 00's members.

Gold Panther will keep her eyes open.

Okay I got a new computer.  I'ts a used XP not fast for fancy games.  Joel and my dad want to put a faster prosessor it it and whatever else.

I have my own pocket talker now and am starting to use it whenever I can these days. 

Lets see if I can do One for youtube or and Sonic The Hedgehog for Sc this weekend.  If I do a writing it will come from what I already wrote using BackIn Black.  I'll just have to make some adjustments because I cant perform it the way I wanted to at first.

Company this week so neither (One,Sonic) may get done. I might be able to type up my Back In Black Idea.  Anyway, I want to do these things

Still want to video one and still would like to video what I started to plan for Back in Black.  I got this urge to play Aqualung on my harmonica.  Might of said it before, but I love being in front of a camera.  I'm not exactly a musician and I don't want to spend any more time looking for midis.  I'm probably done recording with Sc, but I'm not getting rid of my account.  I'm thinking now of songs I've written that would sound good on harmonica.  A long time ago I did do a solo background for one of my songs.  I agreed that compared to other stuff on Sc, it wasn't quite enough to do harmonica on it's own.  How about Youtube?

You know what everybody?  It's time for me to take all of my focus and strength and put it into leaving the house.  I'll catch you later.

Actually my goal may not be to leave the house, but to do something(s) so I don't have to wonder if I'm a selfish --- or just an average born looser.  I think I might have already go an answer to this from a dream.  There is some selfishness on my part, but I am a born looser. 

I'm thinking of doing Youtube only and maybe some writing once in a while.  Like my sig says right now,  I want to do something, but I guess I don't want to do it enough to  do it when I have time to. 

A. Record One 
B. Finish BOG and Record    which will include the juggling in one
C. Back in black
D. All three
E. Shut up and just do something
F. Who give a    ;)

If anyone has some kind of request or something I'd like very much to do it, otherwise I'll just stick to making people laugh in other sections of the 00's. As I continue to figure out what to do with myself. 

A. and D. are defenatly gone.  I think rocksann is dead now.  I might want to get some of those songs over to Youtube.  I'll have to look and think about it.  I was thinking about videoing One, but it would be a heck of a better video if I got myself to finish my bog idea ( I'm Your Jest). I'd be juggling in that.  Also know that I have all my songs backed up, so if I end up killing the account, nothing is lost.

I'm working on my Star Wars parody and It's taking me a while.  I'm putting in all the lyrics with a little sketch of some sort.

It was a very sudden death.  Yeah and I'll be working On getting some more of the songs on youtube and moving on to new stuff.  I'm letting this thread die too.

mntaken decide to use this thread.  The most recent thing I've started doing is to put my parodies on Youtube so you can see the words.  I was going to re video Change it black, but I really don't care and think I'll just leave it as a stupid fun thing.  I was going to video One for juggling, but I guess I rather just juggle.  I wouldn't mind recording something with my harmonica either.  I don't know,but if you have anything you'd like to see me do on youtube or something let me know.

Had some audiacity and other trouble recording a new song lately.  Haven't got around to doing anything on video.  My most recent recorded song is Cokenomo

Recorded my One song, but haven't wanted to go outside in 100 degree weather to do the video.  I was going to record some songs for Soundclick , but kind of lost interest.  I have however thought about BOG again.  If there's anything I really want written and videoed, that would be it.

I Getting use to my hearing aid and in a lot of ways, it seems to be helping.

BOG is 4/5th's written as of now and I try to get together with Joel over the weekend.  I'm going to put the video in Soundclick before sending the words to Amiright. 

I write BOG because I want to record it and find myself in a video slump.  Guess I'll get it ready to submit tomorrow and ask for my seven medial.  You would be able to figure out everything I was going to try to do anyway.

By the way, is midi quality going down or is it me?

Well submitted that.  My stuff to do list says I still have a few songs I need to Send to BAD, do my Witch Doctor parody on soundclick, Do my Do You Hear What I Hear parody on soundclick, video BOG, video One, redo my Paint It Black video because I lost the back up for it and The desk top mic I was using sucked.

Whatever,  I'm trying to get myself to master sign language because that's the only way I'm going to be able to communicate with some people and or when my ears/brain just wont work.  I've thought about doing like cover songs and signing with them for youtube.  I should do it.  Music is my learning and remembering strength.

I am going to see if I can start sending out a parody maybe each week or so, because now I seem to be very unhappy an unable to do complete anything.  There's a disturbance in the force.  I think I've been informed that I may just be a little more disabled then my mom is trying to force me to be.  Could be that her method sucks, but I wonder if it's a combination of both.  Anyway, I'm going to stop worrying about spending so much time writing parodies because it takes me too much time to do anything. 

Someone subscribed to my youtube channel today.  what is subscribing? Looks like adding a channel like you would at soundclick.  I dont know, but I'm just thinking about my accounts again and the fact that it seems midis are all lousy now. Sole harmonica doesn't make a real great backing track.  I'm soundclick dead.  Guess I could get my recordings ofer to youtube  drawing cartoons or whatever and then continue with my youtube account and use my harmonica.

so what would be good or horrible to play on the harmonica? No particular place to go is one I'd love to try and see if I can get through without running out of breath. 

Talkin to,  my se e elf
My self

Weekend plans

revideo Change It Black with a better mic then that desktop thing I used and because I don't have a backup saved for it anyway.

video Much Pain Flyin.  No I won't have a backing track, but I'll play my harmonica for a short music break.


next project will be the BOG video and after that, I will probably try to finish a parody video for Back In Black I never finished.

Harmonica  video recording written    now if we can feel better and get it recorded.

little write I'll submit for Monday almost written.  I don't know if the write is reallly great for recording , but I think it's a good OS for me to sing to.

he he did that^  I was going to put it up on Soundclick on the fron't of my artist page is it doesn't kill everyone before I get back.  I'm going to think about making changes in my account's.  I obviously can't compete with and I cant seem to find good sounding midis any more.  Also, I've always thought I sounded like a squerrel or something on the microphone anyway.  think I'll be doing more youtube and less soundclick.   

I'm going to be getting a cochlear implant.  I'll be seeing my doctor next Friday to discuss the procedure.

I am concerned though because he want's to do it in the left ear and the left ear is always where I've heard my music.  I have a picture of me at 5 or 6 years old ( before radiation) of me holding the phone to my right ear.  I remember switching from my left ear to my right so I could hear.  I'm going to mention that because if I end up  hearing music any worse from this, I don't think my heart can handle it. 

Hello -- , yaddah yaddah
I am working, on a covah
Which I won't be, write ---
But will have to consider all that I am signing.

^ not anymore.

But I say what the hay
Suck any way
Why is that I feel today?
Myself myself   
Talkin to, myself
Myself      boo hoo hooo

Might find it interesting that I picked up a guitar and found some of Heart's Keep My Love Alive.  Third fret ( when I need to use a fret) I think, can't really read music or tab.  Once upon a time I was in 4-H and my mom started a guitar class I had to be in.  Imagine Barney the dinosaur singing Let It Be.  Maybe I can get myself to make my own backtracks or something.   

Hello myself how you been? 
Why am I in this thread again?
No idea and I'm going nowhere
Not sure if anyone gives a care


actually, I have gone back to a little idea I've had in the past that I didn't quite pull off.

back to nothing can someone tell me why the L I keep talking  in this thread and why I haven't just deleted my soundclick and possibly youtube accounts.  Does anyone even care about my old recordings?  I don't feel like putting them up and or doing the words on youtube.  I still don't feel like writing parodies.  I don't feel like recording any sign to Camp Granada, Paint it black, or any other songs.  Maybe I am done.

Why write it off?  I'm notoriously streaky with writing, recordings, posting on messageboards...sometimes I just post completely out of nowhere!  You never know when someone will come across your old stuff, and maybe you'll want to listen sometime.  I'd suggest letting the inspiration come to you, even if it happens months or even years from now.  There's no reason to go out of your way to delete.  Just my take :-)

^ took my songs off sc a long time ago to late.  I had started to put them in youtube so the words can be seen while the music is playing.  I just have no inspiration of any kind and am miserable.

I'd write a song about that...but going over the top on the miserable part to make it funny.  But that's my sense of humor/outlook on life...when life is miserable...write a song that makes it sound 10 times worse...so bad that it's funny  :)

I'd do that, but right now I'm not in the mood to joke about being miserable when I am.  It wont come out right and may lead to problems.  I'm probably getting ready for my implant and then doing some anger management with my mom.  First of all, I want a job and my mom wants me to start some sort of business.  I have no Idea how to start a business nor a bunch of other stuff because I've been used as a stepping stone by her for way too long.  I'll definitely feel better after that if not get some inspiration back too. 

By the way, my surgery is the 28th 

By the way, my surgery is the 28th 


Buena suerte!

I'll once again have to have medical tape aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

back in one piece with my eye closed.

My eyes aren't  as sore now and I'll be getting my stiches off on the 11th

my stiches are off now , but have to wait a little longer for my skin to get better.  The doctor had to fix my ear canal

I am now using my CI and man are some thing weird sounding.

although I haven't given it much of a chance and it probably has some more programs that can be programmed in and adjusted,  I hear music ( speech and sound)  better with my lousy right ear that is beyond help.  I cant really say how much speech I'm picking up.

okay The CI makes everything low sounding sound like a slow record because thats what it does  and I don't know if it can be adjusted enough not to do that  I have to put my hearing aid in my right ear if I want to even out sound and add the high pitchness to sound.  the high pitch string of the guitar sounds lower and the lowest string of the guitar sounds different as well.  Hell I never heard right how do I know if I'm hearing better or not.  I'd like to do something new.  Seems like my only option now would be to sing without music. 

Kind of soon to tell how well I'm doing with speech, but my audiologist says I'm catching on well. 

youtube idea if I can write it. 

I wanted to keep talking about this so I do do something.  I'm trying to work with Iko Iko    jock Chock-a-mo  yes I hear the difference.  Exactly the kind of stuff I should be doing to train with my Ci,  listening

was going to say four lines and a complete stop.  Then wondering what to do  I recieved a ch*chill* *chill*      feels like I need to write some of this here now


shot our food source to the ground

apachie people apachie tribe
             
and proud to fight


Is this the lost live that I yearn

he he  lets see how far we get with this

Quanah and more wanna were sitting by the fire
Englishmah told Quanah you're gonna live like we desire

cool    the possible indian dialect James "Sugar Boy" Crawford Could have heard.  It means war it means ....           

Chockma Finha (Choctaw=  It's very good)  an dan dĂ©yè (Creole = at the back)  they were talking about their costumes   

this is it rocksann is officially dead, mntaken is officially dead.  I cant fight this feeling any more.  What am I talking about?  Getting something out and being exited and when I'm ready to record or submit something get hit so hard with depression.  I'm not sure if I'm done for now and need to be doing something else and can come back to this later, or if I'll continue to feel like this the rest of my live. 


I was able to get my dads old electric guitar, hear the difference in the strings and that it was 5th fret tuned, play what sounded like House of the Raising Son.  Been doing a lot of youtube listening to train my ci.  I have some problems with the high and low tones.  Got myself hearing Bee Gees now working on some Little Richard.  Done some Elvis.

I'm too bored not to record something.  I don't think my live is getting any better then when I was spending all day writing parodies.  Can I vent here? sure I can 

mom has me working on projects like tie dyeing shirts.  So I tie dye shirts.  Now I'm petite  sized and you cant get a pack of cotton shirts in petite.  My moms exact wording was " See, I hope you've learned your lesson".  ??? shirts have always been sold in S M L XL child and it isn't rocket science t hem a shirt.  I guess that means I cant sell shirts.  I don't know about your fairs, but ours have booths that sell stuff like wands, crowns, etc.  That's a bad idea according to both my mom and dad.  I'm not sure if becoming the next Weird Al or starting a band is the thing for a deaf person to be doing for a career.

okay enough of that.  I suppose I can get all my old recordings on to youtube with lyrics and little drawings. or forget it and just put them all back in soundclick.

I'm  talkin no end  to myself again

yeah listening to Barracuda with a CI plug plugged into my computer speaker.  Thinking about something to write and or video. So Hi

bi the way I seem to be doing a lot of picture stuff  right now.  Need some sort of picture?

Hi again anyone who is still looking.  I was starting to write something to go with blueberry boat, but don't now if/ when I'll finish.  Someone get me to finish.

I have come back to the idea of doing something but cant find where I in the past re wrote the lyrics to go with the current soundclick thing.  Probably wont finish it anyway.  Ah who cares.

looks like I found something I saved on my computer in the past I could use after all.  Also, ADD can be lots of fun ::).  Didn't know I had it as a child, but I did and do. 

what I do have saved doesn't have my edits in it. figures

here

I had a rocket, a little firearm               
Ordered ACME and was shipped to me no harm                                       
Down sitting lit aside wanting to catch and eat                             
The rocket took right of like heck I fell down something steep
                     
Oh ow I'll never never never meal that bird I crave within           
Oh ow I'll never never never meal that bird I crave within                 
Oh ow I'll never never never meal that bird I crave within               

Back to my pull down screen, old drawing board                                     
Cant buy what I please so I get what can afford.                           
Decorate head and neck acording to form
Waiting for that bird to cleave and then came up the storm.

I hid behind a clif edge and some rocks hoping that bird brain wont last
But when the thunder struk it did come down, but rod decoy was past
And then disgust my face showed anger pain and ouch oo e was blast.

The clouds dried now lacked
Was all blue exact
The bird hit the road
Bye beep beep goad
Cant uphold ma mia
Instantly let out a sob
A cry another disaster, tin canstir yeah alabaster! 

but I ain't dead yet

I have a new very nice little camera I've been videoing something that I might be able to get a couple of parodies in.  I can't find, pay for,  play much, play and sing at the same time for, are backing tracks.  I'm doing what I can with my harmonica at the moment. 

How's my hearing? I still have a lot of trouble hearing my dad and brothers, but got a new program in my Ci so it's a little better.  I'm not sure if there is a program my CI can be set to in which I'll be able to hear everything

I was looking at my past recordings and stuff and remembering a time I use to get excellent free midis for public use from someone who wanted to make them for people to use.  Oh no we cant have people make really good midi's and allow the public to use them for free.  They'd be doing it out of their own hearts.  This was something that really bothered me and continues to.  I'd still love to slap the s out of some people if it needed to be done and I could. 

I'm making an attempt to come back with my soundclick and or youtube pages.  I going to do strange and evil stuff since that's whats I like. 

well I thought I was.  Now I'm not sure, but I put my old recordings back and cool, my writers block parody is a top 50 song.  Want to do something somewhere, but don't know and don't seem to have the inspiration that I use to.  I still come up with crazy parody stuff all the time though.
