S1E5: Give Me Cash For These Pants

Jam Mechanics

On the 5th episode of Jam Mechanics, we make amends to Bug for all the lost ice breakers. This is as close to a "Holiday Episode" as we get, and we almost got it right! Jam Mechanics is a podcast hosted by Matt (The Narcissist Cookbook) and Bug (Bug Hunter) where we challenge each other to write a song demo from scratch every episode. If you'd like downloadable files for this episode (and the demos we showed off), ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠you can go to our Bandcamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠ to pay-what-you-want to support us!

---------- BUG'S SONG Matt's challenge: First Contact (42 word max!)

Title: AlIen Lyrics: When I open up my phone, you're the first name on my list An Alien emoji next to your name and I wish When I open up my phone I wasn't forced to reminisce but when I open up my phone you're the first name on my list you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone the Typo from the time we met I chose to leave alone you're the first name on my list that will never phone home you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone The first contact on my list, when I open up my phone the reminder of the time we met, the name I never chose but AlIen, alphabetically will not leave me alone you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone -------

MATT'S SONG Bug's Challenge: Give me a (misunderstood) Christmas Song Title: A Christmisunderstaning Lyrics:

it's the moment of the midwinter the time of yule through a log on the fire and let it burn every crackle and spark will represent a baby pig or a calf to be born next year
here he comes across the sky underneath cover of night he knows who has been naughty he knows who has been nice he punishes the wicked brings good tidings to the pure so huddle up beside the fire prepare for the coming of odin lord of frenzy weep for the coming of odin it's december 25th and the children are playing with their new gifts oh the light of joy in the eyes of a child as the party winds down as the wine runs dry with snow on the ground we remember the night of the virgin birth happy birthday mithras infant god savior of the people born from a rock slayed a bull with your bare hands so the souls of the sinful would be washed in the blood of the innocent christmas trees were invented by the pagan celts
