MMJ tribute album : Round 2!

[Paul Laxer]

I want to submit "When Im Gone" onto the tribute cd.  What format do you want it it? a wav? or what...?  email me quick cause i want to get this in asap!

If you can get it to me tonight, you can probably be in. Meg gets back tomorrow, so the site will go live sometime in the next couple of days.
Is "when I'm gone", "I won't cry" from the early recordings? If so, someone already did that one.

Paul Laxer happens to be my buddy.  He and I recorded the same song I recorded by myself (I Wont Cry).  We'll just give you both versions and you can decide for yourself which to put on.  I sang much better on my personal version but I encourage you to put on Paul's because we didn't do it exactly like the album version.  That is probably my biggest complaint about the other tribute CD.  I feel we should thrive on our own creativity, not just how well we can emulate the band.

If you can get it to me tonight, I can probably make it happen.
Oh, and there are definitely some new interpretations this time around. In my notes about the new tribute, I pointed out how my tunes were more or less copies of the original tunes.

There's nothing wrong with that though... especially if you do the song really well, like a couple of people on this new one did.

this is my first post.
hi all!

I would love to contribute a cover of "heartbreakin man".

I live in NYC, so if anyone needs a bass, guitar or drummer on their track contact me! ::)

Okay, so check it out.

A few days ago, I was reading this topic again and I felt bad because it all sounded so exciting and I hated the fact that I wouldn't be on this new tribute album, 'cause I couldn't get a hold on some good recording equipment, so I had to abandon my idea of a multi-layered version of 'How do you know?', full of harmonies and keyboards and stuff. My computer can only handle 1-track-recording, wich is often quite boring, at least considering what I had planned.

Then, tonight, I had one of these nights where I should have been writing a paper for university - a paper wich I should have finished August the 1st - and I discovered that once again I had not found the right literature and I was like  'oh, fuck it'. Then I turned on my computer and recorded an absolutely ridiculous spoken word version of 'Mahgeeta'.

I can send it to you, if you want it. Just listen to it and see what you think. It's utterly stupid, I must warn you. But maybe as a bonus track or something. Somewhere hidden far in the back. Just tell me if you want it.

God, I'll make a fool of myself if this gets out. But sometimes you have to make yourself look stupid, is my motto.

[Oz]

Hey, Olwiggum, if you would find somebody to remix it, or add some sounds to it, that would be splendid. Someone like yourself, maybe. :)

[Oz]

But first, tell me if you want it, and if so, how.

[tomEisenbraun]

Yes!!!!

O, if you want a remix of it, I could most certainly make that happen.

[EC]

WOAH!  Wicked.  

Okay, I'm really confused as to what's happening - wiggy, are you around?  I'm going to have to redo a bit of stuff.  Does darkglow need any more information?  O, we're totally going to use your spoken word Mahgeetah.  That. is. very. rad.

To the person who asked me about organizing these things, it's actually olwiggum who is the master planner.  I help.  But it looks like he maybe already spoke to you, so that's good.

Um, okay.  Lemme check the ftp and see what we have.

hi everyone.  :)

[Oz]

Well, I listened to it again and I think it's fine as it is. Only a bit weird. :)

But hey, how should I get this to you guys? I''m not on John's ftp-server anymore. He changed things a while ago (I think that's a really long while ago) and somehow I never got to it anymore. So let me know what I should do with it.

I have it in WAV-format.

Oh, Eisly, the remix-story was this: the track has instrumental guitar-parts and spoken word-parts. The guitar parts are okay, but I thought maybe the spoken word-parts needed some extra background noises to make 'em less boring. But then again, those parts have a lot of extra sounds that I really want people to hear, and I'm also mumbling a bit here and there, so I'm afraid that if something would be added, that that wouldn't be the case anymore.

It would have to be somewhere near the end of the album, though, otherwise it would definitely destroy the flow, I think...

[EC]

O, do you know about yousendit.com?  Go there and it'll upload it for you and then email the link to someone (ie me) and then they can download it.

You can plug in megan at medusaproductions dot ca .  If'n you wanna.  ;)

Everything's just about ready...  Expect it soooooooon...

groovy, i just thought it was  like a straight-up reading, to which a backing track would be quite cool.

Eisey, are you going to Nashville for school soon?  Are you there already?

[tomEisenbraun]

I am already here and ready to go back home. I realized that i don't need to be doing a music business major and am now majoring in English and minoring in secondary education. I want to be a high school English teacher and mentor, or possibly teach english as a second language on the mission field in foreign countries like south america or africa. Who knows. I'm taking spanish for the first time in my life. I have no idea where its oging to take me, but i'm more certain that i will be helpoing people with this rather than music business, and serving God with what He's given me, so I feel a lot more confident about this route.

[EC]

Oh.  Well that sounds good.  Are you enjoying it?  Are you in residence?  Have you met people, yet?  What do you mean you're ready to go back home?  Are you feeling weird because you're away?

I'm railroading this thread.  Send me a note with what's up if you'd like.  I'd like to know how yer doin' out there.  :)

Maybe we should get Carl to show you around.  ;)

jefferoo, it looks like maybe we forgot to respond.  We're all full for this version, but I'm sure there'll be another version sometime down the road.  So keep checking back.  :)

[EC]

dudes, I'm stepping out for a smoke.  I'm still here.  

Listen, do you hear that?  The remote sounds of something beautiful lingering in the distance?  I think it's getting closer...  and closer...

Okay, I'm getting delerious.

[EC]

We started a new thread to make it easier.  :)
