Lammycat Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can play "Not Fade Away" on my rope-tuned djembe! Beyond that.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'd share, but I don't know where I could host the MP3. Any advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'd share, but I don't know where I could host the MP3. Any advice?you could put it on muxtape maybe? archive.org? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks. I think I figured it out (tell me if this doesn't work ). This is just me, my guitar, a crappy solid state practice amp, a Dr. Rhythm drum machine and a Tascam cassette 4 track recorder. My instrumental version of Radiohead's Paranoid Android P.S. It took me so long to figure this out that I don't have time right now to hear your cover. I'll check it out and comment either later tonight or tomorrow as I have to run out now.

Gobias Industries Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's really rough, I recorded it in maybe an hour on a whim, basically I recorded the guitar and vocal part, triple-tracked some violins, then added a quick electric thing and the lead-ish guitar at the end, but here: When the Roses Bloom Again I'm in a bit of a tight situation so I'll get to hearing the others later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 very nice radiohead and roses! cover songs make me happy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Cool. I just learned Android. A great song that sounds great solo acoustic, IMHO. Here is my cover. Please forgive the bad singing. Its just me and a guitar. My Winding Wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here is my cover of The National's "Start a War." First song on the Muxtape list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 i did this at my last gig... "Color of A Lonley Heart Is Blue" off the newest Old 97's record. anybody else have any good covers you love to do? Sarah, that was beautiful. Nice work! Here is another one of mine. I don't have as beautiful a singing voice as you do so I tend to stick to my little 4 track at home and concentrate on guitar. 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) ... just the jam Here is my cover of The National's "Start a War." First song on the Muxtape listDrew, how did you record that? It's really good and I really like the strings. Did you play that yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I really like my bands cover of Becks The Golden Age Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This is my solo/acoustic version of Dan Penn's "Dark End Of the Street".Starts a little shakey, but I settled down. And, there was somebody else who covered one of MY songs: "I Do".That was kinda cool. (My original is more along the lines of Everly Bros by way of Nick Lowe.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here's my cover of My Darling that I posted a while back. I'm a little unhappy with the DI guitar sound, but other than that's it's a nice little recording. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I tried to upload an old MP3 to muxtape, but it didn't recognize it as an MP3 (??), so I uploaded on my teacher page. It won't be up long since storage is limited. It's a friend of mine and I about 22 years ago (aged 16) playing Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4. It's very strange. We had never heard the real song! I think it's pretty funny, but maybe it's a "you had to be there" kind of a thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a little unhappy with the DI guitar sound, but other than that's it's a nice little recording. Nice version, Lam. I'm curious as to how many folks are actually listening to these, or is everyone just posting their links and then staying away? Now I gotta go listen to more folks.

FourStrongWinds Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I am listening, but haven't had a chance to reply, I was really impressed with the violins in the roses cover, listening to 'My Darling' right now, really nice but the guitars are well too loud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I really like my bands cover of Becks The Golden Age I'm digging that, too!Very nice work. I really enjoy the slide; nice and spacey. And the "25 or 6 to 4" cover is hillarious! Sound like something that I would have done when I was 16, too. (And you and I are the same age, pifin. So, the same timeframe.)

bobbob1313 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=bobbob1414&p=d I did 9 covers during the last few weeks of the semester, and they are all there.

I love the vocal on it, it's incredible, we set up a single 57 and he nailed it first take with the acoustic same take. I put bucketloads of reverb on my guitar to cover mistakes since I've never really tried to play slide before but it came out pretty nice. one of those lovely accidents i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAngerer09 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I really like my bands cover of Becks The Golden Age Golden Age is one of my favorite Beck songs. You guys did a nice job with this. I love the vocals on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Drew, how did you record that? It's really good and I really like the strings. Did you play that yourself? Thanks. I recorded it in Garageband. Acoustic guitar and vocals were recorded with a USB condenser mic. Piano was recorded on my korg keyboard running into my computer and the strings were, unfortunately, not real and played on my keyboard. But I'm glad they sound good enough.
