The 8th Annual Gift of Music

[BBABM]

I don't want to make any promises, but I plan on having a stiffed song done tomorrow, or Sunday... Should I just send it in or link it here? It may not be the most beautiful thing, and I'm guessing it will sound like a lot of my other music, so I don't want that to be someones gift if they weren't stuck with me in the first place, but I also figure that anything that isn't complete sh*t is better than nothing. Any objections?

Ok, slackers. Here's an updated list of the stiffed, annotated. I've noted Stiffees whose Stiffers have spoken up. I am operating under the impression that those folks will eventually get their gift. For everyone else, I've listed their song choices. I think it's safe to consider it "open-season" on these tunes. I think I might sift through the list this weekend.

And someone should cover one of my choices because the songs are awesome and so am I.

[anti-m]

Maybe those that didn't finish their GOM songs but are having no problem doing their FAWM songs can somehow coincide the two and finish their gift. Just a thought.

And yes, I agree that this is poor form. POOR FORM!

[Paco Del Stinko]

I'll give something(s) a go. Let's see if Ross pipes in too.

3. West Papua - George Telek

I actually changed that one at the last moment, because the Tok Pisin lyrics were hard to find.

Replaced it in a later post with:
3. Rich Kids - Washington

"Love Like Blood" - Killing Joke (long version)

I'm not necessarily requesting the long version of "Love Like Blood." That's there because my original post had two different YT links in it.

Heh. I was striving for clarity... but mostly it just looks super girly which is OK too.

[BBABM]

Anti-m... heres one for you!

got it done today, not the purtiest, but its pretty damn good if i do say so myself. you chose much easier songs than I.
hope you enjoy!

Oh yay! Thank you so much! Isn't it a great song? Your laid-back solo is a very nice touch. Excellent work, sir!

[BBABM]

It is a great song, never heard of the artist before, reminds me of lucero (the band covered for me) a little. I know it sounds a little slapped together, and the vocals are a little too distorted, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

[duffey]

Finally made it through all the submissions. Everyone did an AMAZING job. A special thanks to Johnny Cashpoint and Andy Balham for a great cover of my request. And another thank you to Deetak for your positive critique. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm a sucker for a good melody, and thought it would be a fun one to make more ballad-esque. Congrats to everyone!!!

[Spintown]

BBABM: The vocals were a little distorted, but I really enjoyed that. Well done.

[BBABM]

thank you very much! i was surprised myself how easily, and quickly i was able to pick it up.
as for the vocals...yeah, im still learning to tweak my levels, the distortion was supposed to be much less noticeable, and i was really using it for the gain to try to counteract the massive amount of compression i had to use... you cant really tell but i was yelling half the lyrics. im learning more and more about recording everyday, and trying not to repeat the mistakes i am always making

[fluffy]

So for the people who are feeling "weighed down by the source material" (boy do I wish I could use that excuse at my day job), why not take on some of the other stiffees' selections, then?

[Niveous]

That's a great idea, Fluffy.

[BBABM]

im away for a long weekend, but once i get back (again no promises) i have been learning another entry and will try to get it recorded. i dont know my work schedule yet, but hopefully ill have some time. maybe by the next GOM ill have them all done

[Paco Del Stinko]

File under: Sloppy, but it's the thought that counts. Happy GOM, Albatross! It's Too Late - Jim Carroll Band I think I may have requested this one before as well. A long time favorite.

Note: I can't believe that I remembered how to link and label this properly. I've forgotten how to do quotes and other things. ANYWAY, I hope to cover another gift or two, but it may take a week or more.

[Albatross]

You rule completely and utterly. That is fantastic, thank you.

Will be gone all weekend, but I may be inclined to take a stab at a stiffee dittie after I get back. No promises, though.

[Spintown]

Wow, that might be my favorite song of the bunch. Extremely well done.

[Paco Del Stinko]

Stiffed again, poor Caravan Ray. Well, maybe that's better than my gift to him. Regardless, here 'tis. Unguarded Moment - Church Cover
