National Album Recording Month 2007

Holy Album Recording Month, Batman!

This blog post is oh-so late, but my server crashed taking down both this blog and the National Album Recording Month webite. What a mess!


(Let me sing you a little song, it's about National Album Recording Month...)

But we're back up, and National Album Recording Month is ready to go. Last year's participants are re-signing up and we're looking for new blood. Here are the rules:

  • Record 31 minutes in the 31 days in May.
  • Pick a title and make some cover art.
  • Anything goes. Original songs, covers, spoke word, comedy, or essay. Just make an album!

It's time to put aside our fears, ranging from "I don't know anything about music" to "I don't have the time to do it right." Wouldn't you rather have recorded an album by May 31st than made excuses?


(Putting aside your fear means willingness to look like a total idiot.)

The greatest thing about NARMo you can actually do it! You could finish in just 36 minutes (a straight 31 minute recording session and 5 minutes to draw a cover on a cocktail napkin). Of course, the best albums will take a little longer. ;-) But seriously, over 20 people finished last year and we recorded hundreds of minutes all together.

Hope to see you on the NARMO sign up page! Spread the word.
