A Capella

I don't even care how lame it makes me, I like a capella music. This is awesome (click the "Hear the song" link to get an mp3). I also generally like college a capella music; alas, University of Idaho doesn't have one. Maybe I should spearhead getting one going on, that'd be pretty rad. Anyway, a capella music is great, and there should be an ad hoc SongFight a capella group, like Dreamy Mo and the Commoners or Frontalittle Squad or IRC All-Stars. Except a capella. It'd be great.

I used to feel the same way until joined a big group of a'cappella singers in Sydney a few years ago. I got sick of it pretty quickly.

There's something very annoying about a large group of white middle-class Australian bank tellers and school teachers singing Negro sprituals and Bulgarian chicken-plucking songs. With hand actions.

I still like a'cappella though. But only in very small doses.

EDIT

Yes - like Puce below, I'd be keen to be part of it.

You can find my audition in the first few seconds of my Waiting Takes Time entry

Do we have to audition to be part of said supergroup? If so, here is mine. Although it is all vocals, I wouldn't call it a capella. More like a Bjork ripoff.

(Skip to 0:37 for the a capella segment)

Ooh, can I join?

I have various "auditions" sprinkled throughout the archives.

Napoleon's Toes is probably the best showcase of singing. I mean, it's not a capella, but pretend there's no music.

A capella is fun. We're doing the MacBeth "Toil Trouble" thingie as a song for singing class. It's very very fun to sing.

http://www.gwu.edu/~emocap/ There's some a capella for you emo folks.

I'd totally be up for a SF a capella group.

I love A Capella, mainly for the remix possibilities. I wouldn't dream of forcing my naked voice on anyone, but if there's room for a croaky englishman in a choir, then count me in.

i think a cappella can be striking, if executed correctly. one wrong note from one voice can ruin everything.
i'd be interested in hearing the results of the endeavor.
