I forgot to mention this. Stevie K informed me that a Projection song was on a popular podcast called Coverville. Which song did they use?

WHY DOES THE SUN SHINE?

Possibly the best one ever. Recorded for eBagel on her birthday. Done in less than 3 hours. A cover of a cover. Hurray.

Coverville has won a bunch of awards. I'm gonna give the other stuff on there a listen.

Neat-o.

Thanks, K!

On the occasion of girlfriend Erin's birthday, I've recorded a song for her. Our Song. Sounds lame, eh? WRONG.

Peter's Projection presents:

Please enjoy and share. You can hear more songs by checking other entries with the "Projection" tag.

New Peter's Projection song. Listen and share.

"Crown Vic"

[MP3, 3.5 MB]

by Peter Hassett

A Projection song can take no longer than 5 hours from concept to completion (this one took 3) and must address a known musical pastiche. Listen to other Peter's Projection songs here.

(OBVIOUS NOTE: A Crown Victoria is a cop car.)

It's time for another installment of Peter's Projection. Peter's Projection, or the Projection for short, is Peter's de facto solo project. As a rule, each song must take no longer than 5 hours from conception to completion. Tonight's episode is just as weird as the others. I'm still trying new stuff, flexing new muscles. Enjoy and share with a friend over a cold bottle of Zima.

I'm off to JMU for the weekend. Big party at the Cider House.



You know why we call it the Cider House?

'Cause THE CIDER HOUSE RULES!!!

Well, I know it's late. And I'll be honest-- it wasn't worth the wait. Regardless, here it is:

"I Ain't the Drunk I Used to Be"

Listen soberly. Or not. Whatever. I'm not the boss of you.

I bet you thought "A Night In Tunisia" was this week's only song.

You were wrong, bitch. Dead wrong.

Kind of a departure from expectation. I know. Hope you like it. I'm off to booze.

My dear friend Marisa, you know-- the handjob girl, is making a student film at JMU. So I made a song for her.



It's called "Saturday". I wrote, performed, recorded, and mixed it in the last 4 hours here. Kind of a rush job, kind of an experiment in productivity. Hope you enjoy it.
