Pumpkin Update! 7/15/17

I've grown my own pumpkins for the last 3 years, and this year's first is almost ready to be cut from the vine! I am growing 3 types this year. 



1. The giant kind you see at the fair. When I see the ribbon-winning pumpkins at the fair, my Halloween season officially starts! None of mine are growing on the vines yet, but it is getting flowers and I see bees out there every day.





 2. Mini pumpkins! These I think are technically not pumpkins, but they look just like them! A mini pumpkin is the first one that is almost ready to be picked! 




(hand in shot for size reference)


There is a 2nd mini pumpkin about the size of a grape tomato! 





3. Regular-sized jack-o-lantern pumpkins! These are the pumpkins I've grown every year! I planted seeds I saved from last year's crop. There are two pumpkins about the size of promotional mini basketballs or a decorative foam skulls from Michael's. They're still as green as watermelons, so they'll be much bigger by the time they're ready to be picked!








I am so excited for Halloween season this year!

Here are all 5 of my Pumpkin Carols (songs I wrote about pumpkins)!








I hope to someday make 7" records of my Pumpkin Digital 7".

Instrumentals!!!

I have written a few instrumental songs.

I think they turned out pretty good!

First there was an album of instrumental songs called "Lynn Monologues".




Here's a video playlist:






Then I wrote one and decided it was about Candy Corn.






More recently I've written a couple of instrumental songs with background noises.

First a song about Popcorn!







Then there was a song about Rain!



You can't download it yet, but when my new album comes out you'll be able to get it from my bandcamp page!

I really love how these last 2 songs turned out. I might make a full album of songs like that and call it "Atmospheric" or something like that.


I also made a couple Fisher Price Music Box Record Player-style songs:








I'm working on a full album of these songs. They're fun to make.

The first of those songs is available as an actual, physical record you can play on your Fisher Price Music Box Record Player!  You can buy it here! Unfortunately the software I use to make the songs and the software I use to make the 3D models aren't playing well together anymore. For now, that song is the only one that will be available in my store, until I can get the softwares working together again.



That's it!

I hope you enjoyed listening to those enough to buy some or at least share them or add them to a playlist or something.

Two sethifus digital 7"s and a song about guitars!

I wrote a song about guitars used as decorations and how I'd like to take them all home to play.






I also made 2 digital 7" records!

They would be records if I had a bigger following, money, and a label who was interested.

The first is the Pumpkin digital 7"!






Side A: The Pumpkin (album version)




Side B: Jack-o-Lantern (CASIO version)





If a record label decided to start making physical records of this 7" (say Paper + Plastick or Third Man Records, maybe), and I got to do them exactly like I'd want to, I'd put a few real pumpkin seeds from pumpkins I grew inside each record.



I think if they were thoroughly dried out first they would be okay in the middle of vinyl or plastic. For a long while anyway. And if people bought the records soon enough, they might be able to slit the record open (like the Dead Weather's Triple Decker Record), get the seeds out, and plant them to grow their own sethifus-strain pumpkins!

Here's the youtube video playlist version:




The second digital 7" is the Four-Leaf Clover digital 7"!






Side A: Four-Leaf Clover




Side B: I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover That I Overlooked Before




This record would have Four-Leaf Clovers inside of it!






I don't know if the records would bring people luck, but it couldn't hurt!


Here's the youtube video playlist version:







You can find both digital 7"s on my bandcamp page!

They are only $1 each!


Third Man Records, any interest?

New Fisher Price Music Box Record Player song!





I made this song with the Fisher Price Record Player software made by fred27. You can download it HERE!!!!!

I fully intended to turn it into an actual Fisher Price record and have it available at my Shapeways 3D print store.

But my openscad software isn't working properly.

I'll make the physical record available and change this text if I can get it to work again.


Here's the video of my other Fisher Price Music Box Record Player song:




Anybody interested in a full album of music box songs? I sure like writing them.

6. Rabbit Rabbit










Here is an album of all the songs I recorded in 2015 (I think). At least it was all of the original songs I'd recorded since the previous album and it was released in early January 2016.

7. INTENTIONALLY BLANK

12. SHOES!




Everything I said for "SIP" when I first wrote this post... (see #8 above)... yeah... I feel all of that at least as much about this album.

This one and "SIP" go together. I wrote and recorded all of them this year!

You should get both of them together, today.


SHOES! video playlist:



DOWNLOAD "SHOES!" HERE!



That's it so far!

You can see all of these albums HERE!







I'm currently (as of 8/9/2017) working on an album of ambient background music... hopefully I'll finish that soon and update this discography post again!











Finally:


You can get a bunch of songs I've recorded as MisterSeth HERE!




It's all stuff for children and their grown-ups!

At least I hope their grown-ups don't hate it as much as some of the other stuff "for children" they're forced to listen to.

I like it.




That's it!

That's all of my music that's available!



Please check it out, download any of it you like, and share my music, videos, or at least this post with other people who might like, share, and download it too.






Catching up!

I've been making stuff.

Here's some of it that I haven't put on the Ponder Couch until just now!






SMILE!!!!  a song written to score the flashing of this bouncy ball.

I did my best imitation of a hardcore metal screamo song I could.

I should probably never do that again.




ZIMA taste test and review!








An instrumental about rain!

I used 2 songs in it from my youtube channel afewquietminutes!

VIDEO 1: Frisbee in the Rain




VIDEO 2: Rain Spout





New MisterSeth song!

It's about a Little Birdie in a Hardware Store!







I worked hard on this stuff. If you can watch each of them and share them in various ways, that'd make me feel pretty great.



I also made the cover for the new album I'm working on!

But you have to wait to see it until the album is done!




Unless you ask really nicely.
