please dont squish them so hard they crackle when "volume-upping" them this time purty-please!

thanks for the feedback - I didn't realize I'd done goofed on the last round

I think most of the tweaking was done to the stuff recorded on cell phones, but in any case I'll stay more hands-off since I really don't have a clue what I'm doing

Gimmie two more days.

I'm having a horrible fucking time trying to EQ my own vocals, and I've had to change the song like three times just trying to work around the horrible quality of my microphone/absolute lack of experience recording my own voice.

I think I have a good mix right now, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow and re-record the entire vocal track in a different time signature before I can be sure.

If I fail completely I'll just post everything I've made so far so you can all laugh and we can have a blooper reel for the contest

be good

Maybe, but I think a big issue this time was that we tried to do it during Christmas, which probably wasn't such a good idea.

Something like the Ramones would probably be a lot less daunting to some people, but ideally you'd want a band whose music is both relatively easy and not boring, so not the Ramones. I think we should do Black Flag next.

i don't know that it necessarily needs to be punk. the stragglers [not james per se] just need to not commit to the next project.

my suggestions:
black flag [me and bored think alike]
the birthday party / nick cave
the cure
wire

keep suggestions coming... I'll put a poll somewhere once we've accumulated enough

the mentors
muddy waters
circle jerks
MC5
stooges / iggy pop
the scorpions

i'm definitely down for

dead kennedys
stooges
black flag
circle jerks
ramones (fuck haterz)
the cure

the beach boys
velvet underground / lou reed / nico / john cale / metallica [ ]

i dunno how excited i could get for the beach boys. i'd just turn it into a foetus song, probably.

i'll certainly do a metallica cover!

with all those punk bands, why not just "do a punk song" ??? seems like the easiest solution with the broadest appeal and smallest required effort on the part of the contributors.

I vote Cure covers in the style of Black Flag. Or vice versa.

Most definitely - I'm just waiting on James to either deliver or admit defeat.

I'll do the tracklist chronologically by covered track if that's OK with everyone.

TC - I'll use Changes w/vox, and I'll totally include the other two goof tracks because they are that awesome. Let me know if you want otherwise.

Thanx.K.Bye.

Wire and The Stooges would be great for fans of those bands, but I don't think you'd get too many people contributing. We could do another band, but we could also go for an era or sound:

Brit Punk (Clash, Pistols, Damned, etc)
Post-Punk/New Wave (Wire, Go4, Talking Heads, Devo, Joy Division)
Riot Grrrl (Bikini Kill, Hole, Babes In Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, L7)
90s Gangsta Rap

If we're going to do a punk band, I'll stick with my vote for Black Flag, although Minor Threat would probably get a lot of people contributing, too. We definitely need to do Metallica some time in the future.
