EDIT: Updated list with songs and added TV's Kyle
I don't know how up to date this list is... but I just wanted to bring it back up. I'm not going to herass anyone to be done by the 12th, but it would be nice if more than just Glenn got a song covered. Due to my unemployement and tight budget I will not be able to burn CDs and print out labels for everyone that does a cover, right away. I'm hoping once my job situation improves I will get back on the ball.
Thanks,
bort

...when your employment situation improves -or- when everyone has their songs done, whichever comes second
personally, i intend to spend this weekend working on mine and i hope to have it done by sunday but i can't absolutely guarantee it.
(oh, and whenever all the songs DO end up trickling in, i'm sure i wouldn't mind tossing a few bucks your way for putting together a cd, and i'd be willing to bet most other people wouldn't mind too much either)

I think we should just call this an on-going project for now, so the presure is off for the holidays. I'm not going to twist any arms to get songs out of all of you guys. I really enjoy all of your music so I'd rather this be fun for you than me herassing everyone to do a BnL cover.
Thanks to you all for your interest in this side-fight.

I recorded guitar and bass on Tuesday, only to find out on Wednesday that they were both (!) out of tune. I've got a couple finals coming up, as well as some other obligations, so I might be a tad late. I had to learn how to play chords to record this , so I'm not giving up now. It's been months since I made a song; I'm so out of the groove that it's taking me forever just to get this thing started.
my bigger problem is still just finding a right tempo... somethin' that i can sing with... because i'm having to do it on piano... it's probably not goin' be the greatest or sound a big deal like the original... but i'm gonna atleast try to keep a relative pace...
and keep the same chord progression most likely... as far as i can hear from the music itself...
i may be a lil' late... but i'm gonna try to have it done as soon as possible... cause it's drivin' me batty that i can't figure out what i should be doing... the verses aren't fitting into my speed right... so i gotta change how i'm playin' it at the moment...

Okay, it's not my greatest work, but I had somewhat limited time (and talent). Hope you like it Bortwein! (You too Human cello!!)

denyer: an interesting take on the song... i don't see why it shouldn't be included in the compilation! i like the chorus vocals especially (or i dunno if it's the chorus or what.. the "not trying to sing a love song" part).
frankie: didn't recognise it from the title, but this is one of my favourite of their songs... and it seems to work really well for you. (in fact, i kind of found the original to be a little *too* orchestrated, and i think i might like your stripped-down version better.)

i suck at most covers by the way... but i tried to get it done... could've been better...

Wow this is great. I like the vocal style you brought to this song. Even on a limited time as you said, you did a great job. My wife did say it sounded too much like you were going straight for the original sound, and not adding enough of your own touch to it. Which makes sense to me, but I still think it came out quite well.frankie big face wrote:Okay, it's not my greatest work, but I had somewhat limited time (and talent). Hope you like it Bortwein!

Hey that's pretty fun and I enjoyed it.TVsKyle wrote:Here's mine! Go to http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/azzorrac and check out the "Barenaked" folder.
But I do have to say one thing, that sound of what I assume are bongos, sounds a little off beat at times. Kind o like extra background noise that wasn't exactly supposed to be there. How are you mic-ing them if you recorded them yourself? They seem to be missing that Kick of a bongo hit, and the times when they are off the beat they stick out as alittle odd to me.
Overall it's really good and I thank you for having a go at this sidefight.
