Hey All

It’s time for the annual Christmas Album

What the heck are you talking about Tim? (you say)

My friend Lars and I previously ran a blog about soundwriting and as part of the site we made an annual Christmas Album. The blog is basically dead, but the Annual Christmas album lives on. This is the 5th annual album.

No rules to the song other than the song being vaguely Christmas related (it could be a song about green bean casserole). It can be a cover or original.

Then, i’ll post it here: http://foodforthebeloved.bandcamp.com/

make a new blog post here: https://foodforthebeloved.wordpress.com/

And if anyone pays for the album I’ll donate the money to Feed My Starving Children

Deadline for submissions is December 10th

Good Luck

Tim

oh, and feel free to forward this email along to anyone

Christmas Album 2013 (So Far)

tomatobrown@gmail.com (Food For The Beloved) — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 06:03:00 +0000

I’ll just tell you. I always set the due date for the album for the 10th of December, with the expected release date of the 15th. Unfortunately, a couple of people that regularly submit to this album figured that out over the years and are pushing the limits. Here is what I’m going to do, post the non-slackers work because Christmas time is here and these tunes need to be shared. ALSO, when I receive the other tunes I’ll update the album. Here it is….enjoy….

Hey Guys,

I’ll be posting the 2013 Christmas album today. This year we have a large number of “slackers”, so I”m just going to add to the album as tunes come in, meanwhile you can enjoy the music of the non-slackers. So prepare a cornish hen and a fruitcake for this evening.

2012 Christmas Album

tomatobrown@gmail.com (Food For The Beloved) — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:25:57 +0000

It’s time again! Time for you to put some music together and submit it to the 4th Annual Food For The Beloved Christmas album.

Submit a song

I’ll digitally package it and put it out there for the world to enjoy

Last year we received lots and lots of great feedback from the album and many “I wish I would have recorded a song” comments from people. Here is your chance. The song can be original or a cover. It can be instrumental or not. Also, I don’t even care if it is an actual Christmas song, it could be about any related to this time of year…New Years, Snow, Mayan End of the World stuff, whatever. Let’s do this thing! This year, the deadline will be December 15th Good luck!

Artist of the Month: Beck

tomatobrown@gmail.com (Food For The Beloved) — Fri, 25 May 2012 21:01:10 +0000

Hey Lars here. Well, I can’t be more excited to have Beck as our artist of the month. I don’t know how Tim and Nate are managing Beck as our artist but for me, it’s going swimmingly. My original tune is really cool and I’m excited to share it with you in the next couple weeks. In the meantime I did a two take cover of a favorite Beck tune. I’ve also compiled a 50 minute Beck playlist, a list of the tunes that I’ve been listening to the most to assist me with my original tune. It should give you sense of where I am headed, as Beck is a very diverse artist. Enjoy.

Lord Only Knows
