MMJ tribute album

[Oz]

Hmmm... Count me in for a pianoballad version of 'One big holiday.'

[EC]

 :) (<-- that's for writing pianoballad all in one word.  actually, that's just to everything.  I am enjoying today so far.  It even looks possibly sunny...)

Okay,  here's an idea to throw into the mix...  heh, I just realized that I made a pun.  You don't because I haven't got that far, yet...

What about combining efforts for songs?  This might be too crazy, I'm not sure.

But, let's say that olwiggum got this really great track, but realized he needed a little xylophone from belarus and female harmony in there...  Couldn't he send me the layers, I could add to them, and send them back to him for him to mix (<--that's the pun, ahhhhhh)?  (I'm also thinking that a little banjooobido might be nice in Hopefully, if you're up for it, 'wiggs!  OR, tundra!!  You got a banjo, too!)

See, I think that would be very cool.  But possibly difficult.  

hellacious, we could duet on Golden...

If anybody would like to try to mix it up with me, I would be into it.  :)  (p.s.  I wouldn't be using my good 'ol GoldWave freeware stuff - I'd get Mark to do it with his fancy, lovely, special, good-vibe gear.)

Word.

[corey]

Smog,
That would be awesome if you guys get those songs recorded. Buddy is already working on another song as well.

EC, I like your idea. I actually thought about sending you an mp3 of "At Dawn" so that you could add some backing vocals, but I couldn't pick a spot where I thought backing vox would work. But I definitely love the idea.

Oh. As far as banjo work goes, I can't handle that much. I can only swing a handful of chords. So unless the song has G, C, D, or Em I can't handle it right now. :)
If we find a song that has some other chords, I could start learning them though...

[EC]

Dude, that's awesome.  I'll just put it in D, and we can banjo it all up!

Wicked.

Gonna start working on it RIGHT NOW!

[hellaciousc]

cool idea EC.

i'd be honored to do a Golden duet w/ you.
it'd be...golden.
(IF i could manage to sing that high)

of course, if you ever came to visit Jefferson's abode, we could just record it live  :)

[EC]

Maybe IN Jefferson's abode...  "Recorded in the historic home of Thomas Jefferson (in the back hall where it's quiet and the servants used to walk up and down)"

 ;D

Gettin' excited again!!!

p.s.  You can sing that high.  I've heard your "baa baas"

[hellaciousc]

if you only knew how hard it was to sing those 'ba baa baahs'...

[Zmog1974]

Hey Guys and girls..If any of you wanna send me your vocals. I'll get the pro-tools out and add the beat etc. This is a wicked idea. Maybe i could do the same..this way none of us will know the end product until the album has been finalised. Good way of experimenting and alot of fun.
We can all be each others producers.

any one up for it?

[EC]

if you only knew how hard it was to sing those 'ba baa baahs'...

I do know!  That's why they're so special. :)  I find 'em hard, and I'm a girl.

smoggio - I would be up for that!  You just want a vocal track and then you're gonna mess about with it?

[Zmog1974]

E.c Thats the idea pick a song ..sing it acapella and send it on...let me know when its done.

i think im gonna do The Bear, They Ran or War Begun.mmmmmm

[marktwain]

I wonder if I could go SUPER lo-fi and submit something via cassette?

(By the way, this wasn't an important post, but I noticed EC and I are tied for # of posts, and I wanted to take the lead - HA! Take that, Megan! ;D)

[EC]

 :) That's probably because half my posts are superfluous!!
Here's an example:

[somebody else] "blah blah blah My Morning Jacket, gods that they are, blah blah blah"

[me] Dude, you're so right.

(heh)

Yeah, I can transfer tape onto my computer.  I think 'wiggum can, too.

p.s.  You're ONLY allowed to submit a tape if there will be banjo playing on it.  :)

[corey]

I'm thinking about recording "The Bear" for the next CD too. I still can't decide though.

[marktwain]

You're ONLY allowed to submit a tape if there will be banjo playing on it.  :)

We'll see what happens, but you might change your mind once you hear me.

[lyricjunkie]

ok you music masters!
when are the rest of us gonna get to hear some of these works of art?  I'm really wantin' a copy when you finally finish.
 ;)

Try this:
http://www.medusaproductions.ca/mmj/home.html

Click on the cover page and wait a few moments. It should come up with the menu (at least it did on mine - I've got mediaplayer).

If it doesn't work, get in touch with olwiggum or EC and they'll sort you out a CD.

You'll love it!

[Sal Paradise]

I want to apologise for not sending in my version of Alabama Come Clean. I know, I promised but it just didn't work out. For the next volume I promise to record Hopefully. I can't sing so I will hum the entire song. Hope that's good enough.

ps. Love what you all did!!!

[marktwain]

Alright, so that makes 3 of us for 'Hopefully'!

[EC]

Heh.  Yeah, I'm not gonna do it.  I figure I used up so much space on the last one, I'll take whatever scraps are leftover.  

(Because, whatever.  Their scraps might as well be turkey dinners. :))

[marktwain]

EC, as far as I'm concerned, you can do an entire album.  Your voice sure beats mine all to hell.  

That said, I think I'll do an a cappella version of HonesT Man ;)
