I guess it's called an Americano because the espresso is the traditional Italian way to drink coffee, and the Americans prefer/pioneered the longer drink I would call 'normal' coffee.

Hey Gerg - just to return to topic for a moment, I heard the intro and first line of this yesterday, but was then distracted. I'll have a listen later if I get chance, but what I did hear sounded pretty good (through my laptop's built in speakers).

Now, more to the point, tell us what you know about coffee...

I think Greg used EQ settings for the acoustic that were perfect for a mix... rather than a solo guitar. Sorry to be snobby about the coffee...:)

I didn't think you were being snobby. I don't drink the stuff - it's disgusting.

Well us 'murricans don't like your tea!

I usually get a plain coffee when I go to coffee shops these days. I like the sugary mocha-frappe-cano stuff, but it's not tastier enough to justify costing $3 more. Especially since it usually doesn't have enough caffeine.

Oh right. There was a song here.
Sounds pretty sweet. The vocals came through a lot more polished than the acoustic, which caused some weird contrast. I suspect if you made the vox a little more lo-fi it would fit better. (That or you could polish up the guitar a bit, but I'm not sure how you would go about that.)
 
Thanks guys.

I don't drink any kind of coffee. I don't really like the taste, nor do I like pouring scalding hot beverages down my gullet. Just not my thing. It's never cold enough down here to warrant a hot drink, and I don't need the pick-me-up of the caffeine. I'm hyper enough as it is.

I appreciate the mix comments, but I'm really not gonna fix anything on it. This was mostly for a laugh and the acoustic is already back in it's case tucked away in a closet like a bad child where it belongs. :laughings:
 
Wow, sorry i took the thread off course. I never used to drink coffee, 6 years in the navy couldn't get me to touch the stuff. Then, I married a Colombiana!

I've always wanted to do an acoustic version of one of JoeyM's songs, but i can't deliver like he can. It would be insulting. Lol.
 
God that's funny... I actually did a real LOL... not just an internet wanky acronym one :D

Do it!

I covered one of Rami's songs once. It was fun. :D
 
I will go off on a coffe/product marketing rant on Greg's thread, cause I'm stupid crazy like that. I drink a lot of coffee, normally made myself, fresh ground from french roast beans, cold spring water, french press, the whole 9 yards of coffee OCD. Every once in a while I stop in starbuks. I don't drink the frappacrapa stuff. I like dark roast, black.

The thing that really pisses me off is that they invented their own terms for small, medium and large. Tall, Grande, etc. You know what I mean. So when I order a Large French Roast, the very first thing the salesperson does EVERY SINGLE F****** TIME is say 'do you mean a Grande?'. They start the interaction by unnessarily correcting me, a paying customer. Violates customer service rule numero uno before the sale is even made, point blank.

They have a good business model though. Use fancy names to sell flavored coffee to queerfuck hipsters and pompous douchebags at dumb prices. Success! :D
 
Maybe I should do an acoustic version of my "Occupy Starbucks" song.
 
Hey chuckduffy... I'm a complete coffee snob and proud of it. Where I come from Starbucks is the MacDonald's of the espresso (and so are MacDonald's).
 
lol @ starbucks rolling out a 400 dollar gift card made of steel that costs 450 dollars.

Pompous douchebaggery at it's finest.

Shit. And I love it so much. Starbucks have been in hot water (lol) over here for not paying any tax (they pretend they don't make any profit in the UK, despite monstrous sales). They're total scumbags.
