lol


now I know it...el paso


recording and performance sounded spot on, and the mix is crystal clear :)


sound like your at the limits of your vocals at parts but they sound good mate, especially during the backing parts


horrible horrible song though...
 
Damn. That is ironic as you were the one who turned me on to dropbox...:( :p

Where have you been my man?

I just tried the links and they worked for me. I did ditch the original soundclick version and replaced it with the latest version, so you could stream it from there if you wanted. I'm not sure you're missing much though. I have to stay away from covers. At least with originals you guys have no idea what it's supposed to sound like!



dunno why they wouldnt come up...sometimes dropbox goes offline, not very often, maybe that was it


Im nowhere man, half finished the remixes for Jan to master and working on a new style called "moombahton"...nearly finished a track when i should be working on other things :D
 
It got real quiet in here all of the sudden. I think maybe the sight of Marty's hair sent everyone packing...?

Ha! I tried to warn you dude.

Yeah this was a tough one singing-wise. I thought about transposing it to get it right in my wheelhouse, but then I remembered that I don't have a wheelhouse.

I tried it one octave lower which was easier for me, but sounded like the crash test dummies or something - truly horrifying. This was absolutely my limit here. Too many damn words too - really hard to simply catch your breath in between some of those longer lines strung together. Thanks for listening.

Cool - can't wait to hear it! What a pain though to have to remix all those tunes?

some of the earlier tunes are well over a year old mate and the mixes are pretty bad....its tedious but Im sure Ill love it when its done

id love to hear you get really funky with one of these country tunes...I could almost here your style coming through on this...I just dont do country, if I listen I will buy guns and a pick up, so I fight it :D
 
Loving it dude. Really enjoyable.

One of us needs to do Rocky Raccoon.

BTW, I didn't realise it was you who did paper cup.
Man, that song stuck with me for ages, so much so that i looked it up recently to hear it again.
Then i was like, ooh that was yer man Heatmiser! lol

whoa...el paso and rocky raccoon were two of the next covers i wanted to get to!

i haven't had time to really write a ton and arrange stuff, so i've been doing covers in a couple hours to keep my practice up!
 
Great song! I love the little lead guitar stuff you did. Very nice. I like the simple drums too...very much in keeping with the 40s and 50s country.

It's a little rough at spots, but I don't think I'd complain if I heard this on an album. I don't mind rough...I do mind boring...this is not boring.

I'm a huge fan of old country (Marty Robbins, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, and of course Johnny Cash). I wish more people would write story songs again.

This has inspired me I think I'm gonna do a cover of poor old colija.
 
The wooden indian standing by the door?
That's Williams right? I know it from Charley Pride.

Always makes me think of Techumsa from Cheers. :)

Crazy! me too. my wife called that indian calija for a long time until i told her that wasn't his name. so now in our house the indian in cheers is calija.

I think it's Hank Williams originally, but the one I have a record of is Hank Thompson.

Thanks for checking it out man. Yes, although I see this as a pretty goofy song, I really like the story and the melody kind of gets to me for some reason.

Sadly, the simple drums are more out of necessity than by design. I found simply playing steadily in 3/4 time to be challenging enough without fills and whatnot...:o

haha...yeah i do ok with even numbered beats, but suck and 6/8 and 3/4. fortunately i don't like prog stuff, so 5/8 and 7/8 aren't really an issue. But, the simple and low volume drums work really well for this.
