MMJ Tribute Record Volume III - It's that time.

darkglow · Sep 26, 2006, 07:47 AM

can't help but notice the similarity in the color scheme of the okonokos artwork and the cover art i made for the last tribute album :P maybe someone liked the idea

tried to dig it up but couldnt find it (new computer and all)

hmmmmm... that site might be officially dead, now. i just tried to check and nothing came up.

crap. let me see if i can still get into ftp and steal back all our stuff.

i might have the files on my comp. somewhere still, although i did a big haul a few months back.

Ooh, I'd like to do a song...I just did a covers competition on the Pearl Jam message board and it was a blast.

is it a cappella as it says on the home page, or can we use non-voice instruments?

Is there a deadline for this one?

Can I have some soup?

the certainly are no instrument stipulations. we just ask that you make the cover your own. it's fun to hear how other people hear these songs.

i don't know how this one stands. i've got a song i could throw on it, which i'm alright with, but whatever. just volunteer something. the more obscure, the better, but there is asbolutely no stipulation on that.

Right on. I've already got a couple possible songs in mind. Do you have a list of what was done in the first couple rounds? That medusa site isn't working and I'd like to do something fresh.

Give me a couple of days to round them up. I've got a bunch of shit on my plate right now.

Word.

sorry, fella, it's ONLY a capella. if anyone says otherwise, they're lying. i'd get on top of doing some vocal warmups pronto. apparently some people drink honey water, i suggest steroids.

Oh, I'm already on it. Been drinkin pee.

I'll have a song ready after this weekend (with a cappella voice and a cappella guitar), if it matters to anyone. That is, if the Jacket doesn't slay me with their awesomeness tonight. (They will.)

i have to apologise here. i let that old website expire because it was something i wasn't doing anymore, and all of the stuff is gone. i mean, it's not gone, i might still have copies hanging around, and so might corey. but the web content is gawn.

i just had a flashback to rollerskating (gone gone gone she been gone so long she been gone so long so long) holay.

anyhow, truly sorry about this. maybe now the first two shall just exist in our minds as beeeeeeautiful memories. :)

or maybe the wayback machine has stuff...
nope. just checked. sonuvabitch.

Bookshelf · Jan 15, 2007, 10:09 AM

Just so's you know, I'm giving myself a deadline of the end of this week to get a cover in. For each day next week that it's not in, I lose a finger.

EC · Jan 17, 2007, 02:29 PM

that is the kind of gumption we like to see around here!!!

corey · Jan 18, 2007, 12:58 AM

Well..... Hmmmm..... Does anyone else want to spearhead this thing? I can't make it a priority right now. I have about 4 other projects on my hands that involve a)school
b)jobs c)film festivals d)a movie that I'm making.

I'd be glad to send someone the tracks that I already have. let me know.

bassmcmaster · Jun 06, 2007, 01:01 AM

I'll get in on this, sounds like fun...now, just need to pick a song...

bassmcmaster · Jun 06, 2007, 01:15 AM

Wow, just realized I'm about six months behind here. Guess that means I should get some sleep now.

EC · Jun 25, 2007, 08:24 PM

yeah, man.
i guess we just got mad busy.
we should do something with those entries, though. maybe an EP?
corey?

corey · Jun 25, 2007, 08:56 PM

Someone mentioned something to that effect a few months ago and I offered to send what files I have to whoever wants to finish it up. I just don't have time to put it together right now.

EC · Jun 25, 2007, 09:51 PM

are we talking volume normalization and eqing? like through t-racks or something? i might be able to find somebody to do that if it's real simple. i'd do it but my computer is as slow as a constipated sloth at present.
i can pull another little wee site together - we have the artwork already from brad. or someone was going to help with that - was it ali?

anyhow let me know what needs doing and i'll see if i can find a helper. :)

corey · Jun 26, 2007, 12:06 PM

You're pretty much on track with that, EC. Also, we still probably need one more song so that we can cut one of siouxtribe's. Otherwise, it's gonna be mostly him.

Nothing personal, but he sent in, like, 3 songs or something.

knotcameloose · Jun 26, 2007, 04:45 PM

I can try an At Dawn, don't know what else has been sent in...

EC · Jul 12, 2007, 06:47 PM

at dawn was done twice (due to the excellent nature of the original) on our first tribute, but hey, that's cool to do it again i could listen to that song nonstop and still feel good about it.

i'm sorry for being a slacker fellows, but i'm going to have to put my participation on this lovely project away for a couple of weeks. perhaps then things will normalize again... :)
