mchchef1 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 In the words of my favorite ex wilco member LB I don't think clean drums with more presence, etc. etc. We are all, anyone of us capable of making a musical moment, blah, blah etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 More importantly, I think Jeff screwed up the colors of Belleville's band members in 'Sky Blue Sky'! Album version...Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and grayShake It Off rehearsal version...Maroon, yellow, blue, silver and gray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I like "mistakes" on songs. I read that the Mama & Papas song, "I Saw Her Again Last Night", had a recording mess-up that was left on because Paul McCartney offered up the advice that it sounded better with the 'mistake'. It's at the part near the end where the singer says, "I saw her.....I saw her again last night...." He wasn't supposed to sing "I saw her" twice....but somehow that weird break makes the song.

Good example. Another famous one is "Louie Louie", with the false start on "See Jamaica moon above". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Then there's the Led Zeppelin "bleed-through" tape storage fuckup with "Whole Lotta Love," which turned out to sound really cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TJ O'Pootertoot Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 You can call it a mess-up in that he does not nail the note but that doesn't mean it's not conscious, stylistic choice. Obviously he could have rerecorded the vocal, punched in that one word or fixed it after the fact in Pro-tools. You Americans probably never would have seen this but right around when the Brits did "Do They Know It's Christmas" and the Americans did "We Are the World" the Canadians did a song called "Tears are Not Enough." There's a wonderful scene in the documentary they filmed where Neil Young is recording his bit and the producer (David Foster) tells him he's singing flat. Neil looks at him and half-joking-half-annoyed says, "Hey man, that's my style." The point? Those "vocal mess-ups" are what mark the difference between real artists and polished pop crap. You'll never hear a "mess-up" on one of Celine Dion's albums, that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MeDave Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i'm not sure that i hear it as a mistake in one light - but i do Love little errors in songs keeping them real and human. There's that tiny little piano flub in the agib version of theologians that makes me burst out smiling with happiness every time i hear it because it just makes it sound so real.
