Glitchy, build-upy piano-lead electronica track I made in Buzz Tracker a few years ago. Most of the sounds and effects are self-configured using various machines in Buzz. Please let me know what you think! Haven’t done any music on the computer in a while and any comments will be motivational.

I had a jobhunting book for recent grads sitting open on my desk when I was trying to think of the title. I liked that it sounded like some kind of nerdy double entendre.

Sorry, it’s not scary.

After spending the last decade posting the symphonic Soft Bulletin, fighting Pink Robots and waving “The W.A.N.D.,” the Flaming Lips return their acid-soaked roots with their 12th album Embryonic, out today. A double-disc affair of Miles Davis-inspired skronk jazz, sludge riffs and intergalactic electronics, Wayne Coyne and gang are at their most off-the-wall in decades. “Despite tons of studio chaff (five songs are fragments named after zodiac signs), a theme emerges, something about keying into the cosmos by relinquishing control,” Jon Dolan says in his three-star Rolling Stone review. “Hippie hokum? Maybe. But the Lips have always been able to subvert pie-eyed whimsy with a sense of homespun beauty, and there’s plenty of that here too.”

Also this week, Christmas comes early as Bob Dylan’s collection of yuletide greetings, Christmas in the Heart, hits shelves two months before Santa Claus hits chimneys. To anyone expecting Blood on the Snowy Tracks or The Free-Sledding Bob Dylan, this album of Christmas classics might seem like a lump of coal, but Dylan’s take on “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and other “Little Drummer Boy” make for nice eggnog companions. Plus, all proceeds go to Feeding America. “Dylan’s singing is often nimble and clear — he goes high in ‘The First Noel’ without a hint of gravel,” David Fricke writes in his three-star review of Christmas in the Heart. “The effect is like a Woodstock snowfall with the defiance of 1970’s Self Portrait: another way of saying his roots are everywhere.”

Two more noteworthy releases are out this week: First, there’s Harper Simon’s eponymous debut album, which earned a three-and-a-half star RS review. Simon’s father Paul (yes, that Paul Simon) co-writes two of the songs on Harper Simon, a well-crafted collection of catchy songs. Also new in stores is Dead by Sunrise’s Out of Ashes. The side project of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, Ashes “is a grim affair, with hackneyed post-grunge arrangements propping up pity-poor-me sentiments,” Jody Rosen writes in his two-and-a-half star review.

My foray into composing music electronically. This is my first composition using Buzzmachines and Audacity. It’s an instrumental, for now. I won’t go into what the song’s about, unless you’re curious to know.

I’d like to share it with you guys, but also I’m hoping that you could offer your opinions and suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
