spaceship Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 All of these are productions of mine. Some are original, some are collaborations, some are covers, and some are a little of each. As I said, your criticism is appreciated.

GtrPlyr Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Some nice parts and arrangements there. I get a 70s vibe from some of the songs which I like. I like the slide guitar parts on the 2nd song, nice George Harrison sound on it. I like "Dropping My Plans" but I must admit it reminds me a lot of Tweedy's acoustic version of "Spiders (kidsmoke)," especially the vocal melody. The chorus reminds me of the pre-chorus of "Between Love and Like" by Paul Westerberg too. It might just be me though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then, I recently heard "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" for the first time and was shocked at how similar my song is to it. "Dropping My Plans" was written and recorded about the missing girl Kelsey Smith before I found out she had been killed. It was originally set to a different tune, but, yes, I did change it so that it does sounds similar to the original version of "Spiders". I figured it was okay considering the gravity of what I was singing about. I've never heard "Between Love and Like", so I will seek that out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sort of feel that Jeff's voice, post-surgery, sounds similar to Pat's on these songs, but that's me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 what surgery did he have?, His voice is alot better on SBS, I assumed he had maybe had some coaching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceship Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Jeff had some kind of deviated septum surgery prior to recording AGIB. It was in order to cure his migraines, which apparently didn't happen, though it certainly changed his voice. The first time I heard "Wishful Thinking," I didn't think it was him...
