My unwritten, unrecorded and undoubtedly underappreciated concept album: 13 Unlucky Songs

Today, while on my run, several songs from The Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs came up on shuffle play. I suddenly thought of ripping off the concept with a scaled down, differently-themed album using the same general premise. I give you…

13 Unlucky Songs

  1. Under the Ladder
  2. The Crack on the Sidewalk
  3. Dropping the Mirror
  4. Break a leg
  5. My Black Cat
  6. Shoes on the Table
  7. Don’t Test the Umbrella
  8. Rocking Chair
  9. The Stopped Clock
  10. 1954 Calendar
  11. The Owl is Just What It Seems
  12. Green Room
  13. The Hat on the Bed

Also, I accidentally learned about some superstitions I was unaware of while coming up with song titles. Unintended education.

Now to record this in Garage Band, right after I learn how to make music, since my knowledge of this is currently close to zero. I mean, I know what notes and sheet music are. I know guitars are cool. That’s probably enough, right?
