MMJ tribute album : Round 2!

[EC]

Well...I got the instrumental of "One Big Hoilday" done...I might host it at my site cause I would like to now if it is good enough to be the final cut...anyone willin to listen???

chyyya - of course.  It's supposed to be a surprise, though...  We were pretty careful of not letting anything leak before the final compilation was done..  

'wiggum, you hold ranking seniority here.  what do you think? ;)

p.s.  NOBODY'S version will EVER not "make" it.  It's really, really not about that.  It's only all about appreciation, and effort.  It matters more to do it, than what it actually is.  (That's how I feel about it anyhow.)  I mean, unless it sounds like shit.

(just kidding)

As long as you can hear it, and it's your take on the song (meaning you made it your own), it's allll gooooood.

Yeah, everyone makes it unless there are too many submissions.... which probably won't be the case.

As far as letting other people hear it, it seems like more of a surprise if you wait until everyone else is done. If someone has already heard 2-3 of the songs when the project is finished, then it kind of lessens the experience of hearing the whole thing. Does that makes sense?

[utonynashm]

Could we have 2?

I enjoyed the surprise of hearing them all for the first time when the album was ready. Loved the excitement of the last few days  :D

[cmasters]

hey I'd be interested in doing "I will be there when you die" if that would be okay... thanks...

[corey]

Sounds good to me.

Hey guys,

I'm thrilled to hear a new tribute album is ready to be made.  Unfotunately, I can't participate in this round, due to lack of time.  Live is just rushing by .  I don't even have the time to visit the forum and keep up with al the news (hmm well you guys seem to write a lot too  ;) ).

Nevertheless I give you all my psychological and spiritual support and I'm very anxious to hear the new thing.  So good luck to everyone and most of all... Enjoy!

[Tore]

If no one has selected The Bear, i'm gonna convince my bandmates to do a live version of it, and record it.

[corey]

Go for it. I was thinking about doing that one, but I don't want to program the drumtrack for that song.  :)

Looking forward to hearing it.

I had mentioned I would like to do Hopefully, but I don't think it's gonna happen.  

So somebody else please do it!  it's a beautiful song.

[darkglow]

sign me up for the arts and crafts for this one :)

AWESOME!!!  Totally, totally awesome.  You're in.

really, tundra?  That's too bad.  Although, completely understandable.

And wiggum, I think your choice is love-ly.  Really nice.

[sweatboard]

I'd like to try some cover art if it's still available.  I'd like to get a campfire jam picture at Bonnaroo for the cover possibly?

YEAH!!!!  WICKED!!

[tomEisenbraun]

haha, ok, lookin at this again there's a bunch of stuff I'm gonna record this summer. I'll probably try my hand at West end Girls, and definitely Why Dont You Love Me? which i know are both covers, but what ever. I'll probably also throw down That Someone Else was You, or I Won't Cry, or both. Whatever. I'll let you know when I get these done, but by no means are these taken. Anybody wants to do anything I just listed, go for it, this is just stuff I personally wanna record. If you need bonus tracks or anything, i'll be glad to offer up whatever I get recorded. So yeah...

[corey]

Eisey, that sounds cool although we can't use the covers. I guess we could, technically, but it kind of goes against the spirit of the tribute CD. Also, I say that because when I first put together one of the DBT tributes, someone mentioned to me that you're not supposed to cover a band's cover because of other legal issues.
Did that make sense? I'm tired.

[EC]

(hooooold on a second, did mmj cover Hank Williams' Why Don't You Love Me?  Where is that?!)

[tomEisenbraun]

its on the Learning disc of the B-sides releases. Its pretty kickin.

and to wiggum, thats cool. I'll still record em though.

[Oz]

I wanna do 'How do you know?' I've already figured out how I'm going to do it and I might even be able to record it next weekend (I have my own microphone now, hurry! only no good software yet :(). Only, it only lasts 1:40 minutes or something, so I wanna do another track as well... I wanna give 'The Dark' a go as well.
