MMJ tribute album

[wordawg]

You lot have been going on for ages about this album. When is going to be available to General Public, eg me?

I'm going to *try* to master it this weekend. The key word here is *try*.

[corey]

Ok everybody. I'm working on mastering the songs now. I have to go to work in a little over an hour, but I might be able to finish most of them. This thing should be done by this weekend... at least the songs part of it. We're still going to need artwork.

here's the thing. There are only 8 songs right now. I thought that we already had 9. I plan on recording "At Dawn" sometime this weekend, so that was supposed to be song #10, but it's only going to be #9.

Would you guys rather wait and add another song to make it ten, or go ahead and call it quits with 9?

Sweatboard, did you guys get anything done?

[EC]

Can you list 'em again?

Thanks, dude.  

Okay, so do we need to rally for artwork and notes and stuff?

Do we need details of who played what, where it was recorded, funny stories involved in the making of...  why we chose the song?

Do you have a cover?  Would you like submissions?  Or are you just gonna host it on the ftp?

Also, do you need help with stuff, and if so, what kind of help do you need?

(that's the organizer me speaking, so you can just tell me to shut the eff up if you'd like!)

(Actually, don't.  I might cry.  :))

[corey]

I want to use the picture of that lightbulb that you sent to me a while back. I don't know if I still have it or not. I'll check tonight when I get home.

I'm thinking that it should be titled "The Way That He Sings : Fans sing the songs of My Morning Jacket".

Once the artwork is done, it can be hosted on the FTP as well. I'm going to try to upload all of the songs to it this weekend. It would be really great if someone else could host them for the people that don't understand the FTP thing.
I may look in to hosting them on archive.org. I don't know what all goes in to that. Our old bass player put some of our songs on it, but I didn't ask him what he had to do to put them there...

"The Way That He Sings : Fans sing the songs of My Morning Jacket".

Another suggestion could be:

The Way That they Sing:Fans do my morning jacket fiascostyle


I certainly like the word fiasco in it  ;D

[EC]

Oh that's really good, too lfish.  Yeah!  I'm getting excited now!  

wiggs, if you don't still have that picture, I've got it.  (If you decided to change the title, or whatever, I can do that, too.  I also just got a couple of cool new fonts, so... word.)

I can put mp3s for downloading on my website.  (I'm assuming that if I'm using too much bandwidth or whatever, that they'll let me know or something?)

I can also email songs to people's gmail accounts, or other accounts.  Or I can do transfers via msn if we schedule a "date".  heh.  I can also burn copies for people (which might be the nicest way - although, it'll take the longest.)  I guess the deal with that is that you mail a cd to me with a returned stamped envelope?  I could do that, too, yo.

And then what about the liner notes?  Would you like me to be in charge of compiling that, wiggs?  If you're mastering, you might have a LOT to do, so I could take everyone's words and just make them into an easy form to deal with.  If you'd like...

Word, dudes.  Fun is just around the corner!

[corey]

EC, if you could do the liner notes that would be great. I'm pretty much done with the mastering, but I still have another song to record, so there's my weekend.  :)

[EC]

Word up, wiggum.

Okay, so wiggum,  hellaciousc, buddy, lfish, O and ben grim, can you please send to me the following (all or some of, depending on what you feel)

1.  Names of people involved, and what they did
2.  Date and location in which your song was recorded
3.  The reason why you chose this song
4.  Any interesting stories related to what you did

Hmm, I'm still a bit nervous to post my email address, so if you'd like to pm me, then I'll send it to you.  Does that work for everyone?

Okay, I also just im'd everyone except buddy.  Does he have a different board name?  I can't seem to find him...

[corey]

EC,
I have some of that info. I'll send it to ya in an e-mail since I already know it.  :)

[EC]

Word, rocker.

Okay, I think I've been in touch with everyone.  I forgot to mention that maybe if you want to send pictures, too, that would be fun.  They don't have to be of yourself (if that scares you), they could be of, I don't know, your backyard, or your dog, or your favourite tree, or whatever.  And then the inside could be like a collage of the pictures.  Hey!  They could be your favourite pictures from MMJ concerts, too.

Okay word.  Seriously.  I'm glad I'm sick today, now.  (kind of)

And also, if anyone else has fun pictures and would like to include them, that would be cool, too.  (ie people who aren't musically inclined, but are brothers of rock.  ie people who post on this board that would like to be included.  Is that okay, wigg?)

[ben grimm]

E.C. I just sent you some stuff, hope its ok.

[EC]

It's great!  Thanks!

[EC]

Hey guys,

Can everyone send me their email addresses (I have olwiggum's and hellaciousc's and o's)  I guess I just need lfish's and ben grim's.

Also, does anyone have any information about "buddy"'s submission?  He may have moved, and I made a little blurb from an email, but I want to make sure he's okay with the blurb.  Anyone remember his board name?  Does he post here?

The liner notes are complete!  Well, the word part.  Design still in the works.  Pictures still welcome (and if you don't send them, you know I already have some of you, and I'm not afraid to use them!)  Or else I'll just scrap the pictures idea alltogether.  Might be easier.

[EC]

Dearest people.  It is done.

p.s.  John let me know when the server's up again, and I'll upload it there.

That looks great!!!!! 8)

[Oz]

It looks fucking smashing! Now I'm gonna have to find a computer where I can actually listen to it.

The liner notes are really funny! Especially those of Evelyn Is Not Real by The Rockefellaz (lfish) and Just Because I Do by Corey Hannah (olwiggum). Man, I'm so looking forward to hearing those tracks! Tomorrow I'll bring my headphones to the library. :)

Riny: I'd say there should be a huge link to this on the front page of the site. Word?
