The Gift of Music (SF's Holiday Cover Challenge)

The Voice beat me to the finish line by about three minutes. I'm done and in as well.
What really kicked me in the ass was seeing that the person for whom I was doing my song had already completed theirs. That really made me feel like I had to get this done tonight. And I actually like the result, too. It's pretty close to what I had originally envisioned.
Can't wait to hear 'em all!

Mine's in progress, btu due to work conflicts with both myself and the gentleman I am working with it won't be done till later this week. I appologize to my giftee, but I'm make sure it's worth the wait!

I love deadlines.

I love the wooshing sound they make as they go by.

Sorry, coveree. Tomorrow, I swear. Or I can pull an all-nighter and mix this sucker tonight, but then it will suck a lot.

A lot <i>more</i>, I mean.

Mine is also in progress. I'll most likely be finished by Wednesday or so. I've had about 3 false starts in the process. I apologize to my giftee.

Not Quite- The mp3 is corrupted- it plays garbled noise. Try encoding it at a constant bitrate & upload it again. I PM'd you, but I don't know if you got it. I am especially eager to hear this, because I guessed you would pick the FNM song!

caravan ray....awesome job mate. thanks alot! it's a pretty spot on cover without the morrisey overemo. really terrific job.

hell yeahs=hell yeah!!!! great job. that song is made for you. excellent.

Thank you Mr Shite.

Glad the extension gave me a chance to redo the vox with my new mic.

I originally attempted a techno/disco version of the Greatful Dead - then a ska version of Cracker - both very bad ideas. Luckily I had the fallback position of the Smiths who are familiar territory for me.

Anyway - a good time all around. Looking forward to the Screwheads, I'm Stranded - will listen when I get home from the office.

Cow Exchange: Thanks! I was smiling while listening to your awesome Paul Westerberg cover! You did a fantastic job as far as I am concerned!

ROCK!

gaaaaaah! damnit...
i even tried using a different program this time -- sonic foundry instead of LAME.
has anybody else tried listening to it?
i'm hoping there's not something wrong with the WAV itself... argh. the mp3 plays fine for me (the first one did too) so i dunno. that really sucks. i'll try messing with it more in the morning i guess... sorry!!

jack · Post by **jack** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 12:33 am

i tried to hit it voice. it seemed to be downloading but wouldn't play for me.

Dear Mr. Eddiebangs. I hate you.
You're just too good.
I like your cover of VNV's Legion just as much as I do the original. Possibly a little more, cause im a sucker for guitar, and guitar solos, and the song sounds like theres almost one big solo going the entire time.

Did I mention that I hate you?
Good.

Now stop being so good.
*listens again*
Gah. how can I hate this? It just makes me too happy. Yea verily, thou hast brought the rock to the festive season. If I ever get to see you play live, I request you play this. I will totally rock out and dance like a monkey.

Future Boy - you rock totally and utterly. 'nuff said. Tee hee.

I am listening to these, making myself late for work in the process. All are really fantastic - Hell Yeahs - good good stuff (is that line really 'where the yellow people dance'?) And Caravan Ray - you MUST actually make 'Why the Long Face?'. That is really frighteningly good, and your vocal impression makes me wonder if Australia is after all, a Nation of Morriseys ...
