Peckles January 31, 2011 Share Peckles Member January 31, 2011 So a buddy of mine and I have started to write songs together, and we've decided to call ourselves The Oat Poets. If you can figure out why, good for you. There's a huge hint on our website. Anyway, we've chosen to release 2 songs a month (one on the 15th (possibly the 14th in February), and one on the last day). So far we're up to 2. I posted the other one already on my other website, and that one is titled 'Oh Hi Lisa', a song about the movie 'The Room'. Today, we came out with our second one, a song called 'Mine Me a New Woman', which is a song based off MineCraft, which I'm sure a lot of you have played. Also released today was a video we made for 'Oh Hi Lisa', which just strings together some of the more entertaining clips from the movie. We have a couple other ideas coming together, and we're going to try and make a video for 'Mine Me a New Woman' as well, though there's no set release date. Hopefully mid-February. So here's our website: The Oat Poets And here's our YouTube channel (which only has the one video thus far): Oat Poets YouTube I've never really done collaborations before, nor have I ever set deadlines, so this is a new experience for me. Not to mention that I live in Edmonton, and he lives in Vancouver, so there will be very few jamming sessions, and more just sending files back and forth.

Peckles February 7, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member February 7, 2011 We're now vaguely on Facebook, and even more vaguely on Twitter. They'll both be updated whenever the our site is. So for sure twice a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles February 14, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member February 14, 2011 Hello! In honour of that easily marketable holiday we call Valentine's Day, we have written a song about the brief romance between a butcher and a vegan. I imagine you can figure out why it was brief. The song is called 'Lettuce Meat', and you can listen to it here: The Oat Poets Please peruse our site, and take a peek at our apallingly basic social media.

Peckles February 28, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member February 28, 2011 Oh, I didn't see you walk in. Well, it's the end of the month, which means.....A new monthly double! This one is called 'Syndrome the Dog', and is in sort of a Brian Setzer-y style rockabilly. It can be listened to here: The Oat Poets We wanted to have a video done for one of our previous songs, but didn't have enough time/skill. Hopefully next time! For now, listen to our songs, look around, have a cigar! Share and Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles March 16, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member March 16, 2011 A day late due to my poor memory (I had forgotten I was going to watch the symphony play Frank Zappa until about a half hour before it started). This one is a Latin style, and tells you of the importance of water. It is called 'Agua de Alejandro' Listen to it here: The Oat Poets Share and Enjoy, and drink that water!

Peckles March 31, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member March 31, 2011 Holy smokes, end of the month already! Well, we were planning on doing a cover of David Bowie's Suffragette City, but instead did a parody called Boba Fett City. Weird. Anyway, the production value isn't terrific, and we'll probably redo this one once we have enough tracks for an album or something. Here's the link: The Oat Poets Also, we're now on SoundCloud as well: Oat Poets SoundCloud Share and Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles April 15, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member April 15, 2011 (edited) Happy mid-April! This time 'round, we've got another movie tribute! This one is with regards to that delightful travesty 'Troll 2', and the song is called 'Oh My God!' Take an aural gander here: Oat Poets And, as always, take a peepette at our social media. Not really much going on, but there are various pieces of information kicking around, should you wish to become a stalker. Share and Enjoy! (and happy Friday) Edited April 15, 2011 by Peckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles May 7, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member May 7, 2011 So we're a little late on this one. My buddy was moving and he had most of the files. Anyway, this one is a rap. Has a few swears and drug references for you sensitive types. I think we're calling it 'Head Hit the Floor'. There's no write-up yet (probably tomorrow) but here's a link to the mp3: Head Hit the Floor Hopefully we won't be late next time. Think it might be another parody. And for consistency, here's the link to our website again: OatPoets Share and Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckles May 15, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member May 15, 2011 Snap, we're on time for this one! This is a parody of 'The Final Countdown' by Europe. It's called 'The Carebear Countdown, and applies liberal amounts of autotuning. It's quite mellow. Take a listen here: Oat Poets Share and Enjoy! Have a nice Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Peckles June 15, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member June 15, 2011 (edited) Oh, hello! I've missed you! And missed a deadline But we're back on track, and this time with a video! It's an infomercial for Ninja Pills, a product that will turn you in to a ninja for a set amount of time! Based on a jingle we wrote for a project in college, we built a low quality video around it! And the 'female' backing vocals are intentionally terrible. We considered not using them at all, but thought they were funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFUUvvQac84 And, as always, check out our site over here! Share and enjoy <3 (P.S. I'm the one without the glasses) ((I should also note there is a bit of foul language in this, maybe once or twice)) Edited June 15, 2011 by Peckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles June 30, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member June 30, 2011 End of the month? Already? Neat! This track is called 'Junk in my Trunk', and it's about an elephant that can't deal with the stress of the Savannah, and so turns to drugs. It's quite heartwarming, really. Mild drug references (obviously) Listen to it on our site: Oat Poets Monthly Double Share and Enjoy <3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles July 14, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member July 14, 2011 Oh, it's only the 14th? Yes, well, we missed a deadline at the end of May, so we're making up for it with a release today and a release tomorrow. This song is a parody of Sh-Boom, by The Crew Cuts (not originally, I forget the first performing group's name), and it's called 'Life Could Be a Dream' You can check it out on our site here: The Oat Poets Take a peek at our various forms of social media from our Links Page Next post will be tomorrow! And as always, share and enjoy! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles July 16, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member July 16, 2011 Ohhh yes. Here is the second instalment of this edition of the Monthly Double! It's not really meant to be funny, though the idea made it out to be. If that makes sense. Anyway, it's called 'Sensitive Skin', and it's about having skin that cries at movies, and betrays your more sentimental side, even when you don't want it to. Oh yeah, it also features the only recording of me on a mandolin currently in existence. Judge accordingly. Listen to it here: Oat Poets Share and Enjoy!

Peckles August 6, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member August 6, 2011 So yeah, we were a bit late on this one, as we were both stupidly busy over the past 2 weeks or so. Anyway, this is the latest one. It makes no sense at all. That's why it's called Nonsense. Enjoy! Oat Poets And on SoundCloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckles August 16, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member August 16, 2011 So we don't have a new song this time, but we DO have a music video! Our first official one! The song is 'Head Hit the Floor', our rap. It has a couple naughty words, but it's inoffensive content-wise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75wixen6tPs Video was shot, directed and edited by Chuck Ibey, and you can see his other work on his Vimeo As always, visit our website here: Oat Poets Share and Enjoy <3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher August 16, 2011 Share Preacher Member August 16, 2011 Well I have to say that even though the style is not to my preference that is very high quality and well done. Also you guys have a good rhythm together on screen. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckles September 1, 2011 Author Share Peckles Member September 1, 2011 Whaaaat? A day late? TOO BAD, SUCKA! This song is about cupcakes. And it's some form of reggae. It's called 'Jamaican Me Cupcakes.' Listen to it on the Oat Poets Website Share and Enjoy! Also, keep the cupcake industry going by indulging in a teeny tiny totally tasty treat today!
