I uploaded it to myspace. I was pretty much just messing around with the POG and decided to try and record all the parts just using the guitar and pedals. I didn't have any way to do drums, so I mic'd a cardboard box and beat on it. The organ and bass sounds are just the POG. I used my black Parts Jazzmaster for all the parts. I don't have a real recording setup, so I used a cheapo computer mic and free Kristal software. The amp was my Roland Cube 20.
Things get a bit weird in the middle, and I somehow added a couple beats to a measure or something. I didn't feel like fixing it, so I left it. I named it "Nightmare on Meter Street" since I messed up the time. It has a sort of horror/surf feel to it...Pretty rough, but it was fun to record.

It loaded for me. I liked it, the cardboard box adds a cool back to basics feel to it, like an old country rockabilly song.

whats a Pog?
my brother used to collect the round pogs, even had a steel diamond plate one, the kind of metal for bumpers on trucks.
oh back to the song,
its uh... ok.
I thought you had a reverb tank?
I can't hear it if so.

Enough about the reverb, Jeff. What'd you think of the melody?

If this is still in question I bet he means POD.

That's the built-in reverb on the Roland Cube 20. 
No, I didn't mean a POD. I meant a POG. It's a pedal made by Electro-Harmonix. Stands for Polyphonic Octave Generator. Makes a pretty decent 12 string sound and a cool Organ sound...

I'm sorry, there was a melody there?
sounded like a so so backing track that still needed a melody still.
maybe if it had more .............
oh never mind.

It was just me playing around. If I worked on it more it would probably be better. I didn't intend for it to be a serious piece. 
Like I said, I recorded it through an $8 computer mic in 30 minutes. Thanks for the criticism. 
I hope people aren't this rude to everyone who posts their stuff.
