INTO IT. OVER IT. - Hits Week 40 In Year-Long Recording Project
——————————————————-
* New Song, …And I Bite My Nails, up now (free mp3)
* 40 down…12 To Go!

INTO IT. OVER IT., the latest vehicle for Philadelphia native Evan Weiss, has posted its most recent offering titled …And I Bite My Nails. You can grab a free mp3 here.

While you’re at it, download the previous 39 songs as well…and feel free to re-post and share with your friends!

…And I Bite My Nails is the 40th track in an ongoing series which finds Weiss tackling the creation of one new song every week for the span of a year. That’s 52 songs in 52 weeks: an impressive feat, especially considering that nothing has been composed in advance - not to mention the time constraints involved in writing a song in the span of seven days (52 times in a row).

Weiss, who is also a member of The Progress and has played with Up Up Down Down and It’s A King Thing, conceived Into It. Over It. as a way to break free from a musical rut and as an autobiographical means to document that quickly passing thing we call “life.” The first song was posted on his 23rd birthday (09/27/07) and the last will go up on October 2nd, 2008. Most of the instruments are played by Weiss and the majority of songs are recorded at Gradwell House by Steve Poponi.

Again, everything from the past 40 weeks is available for free downloading and sharing. The easiest way to get all the songs - plus the next 12 as they’re released - is via iTunes podcast. Simply go to the podcast section of your iTunes store and search for “Into It Over It.” Subscribe and you’ll have everything that has been posted thus far. Plus, you’ll get each new track as they’re released on Thursday. As previously mentioned, you can visit the website, browse each song page and download them individually. Of course there’s myspace as well, where you can stream a random sampling of tracks.
