How about posting the chords and lyrics to I Can't Wait in the tabs section?  I'd appreciate it.  But I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't tell ya, but it seems backwards to not be able to record the unreleased stuff.  Anyway, I Can't Wait anymore for those chords!

Yeah, we can't technically put that one on one of our tribute CDs for legal reasons.
:(


tomEisenbraun

well....see i was thinkin about it, and i thought of this...we aren't selling the album, right? it's pretty much for pure enjoyment/appreciation ofthe band. if there's no profit being made, and it's our interpretations of an artist's work, we can still claim the copyright as Jim's, and we don't take profit, and i think that's where the beef would be, correct?

i don't know, that probably doesn't work, but that's kindof what i was thinking.

I see your point. I was told when I did the DBT tributes that those songs were off-limits until they were officially released.
If you want to approach management about it, go for it.

I think you make a good point.


tomEisenbraun

yeah, it's not getting sold in stores, so there'd be no dealing with money on things the band hasn't released

I'm going to try to record Bermuda Highway within a few days. If it turns out well and its not taken or will be accepted  in the first place, I claim that one.

update - lovely version of bermuda highway on its way to me from siouxtribe.  :)  he might also do laylow.  i'm gonna go add these to the list in the first post.

(dd i'm not gonna change it yet because i still have hopes.)

its just one of those things.  i know its a very meaningful song to jim as well as to me.  i have a lot of great ideas, but i cant always produce the results that i hear in my head.  i have the ability as far as the music part, i just lack it as far as the recording/engineering part.

how long till these are due? i've got a cold right now, but if i get over it in time, i can add vocals to the music tracks, and submit steam engine to the fray.

corey

Cool. There really isn't a set date yet for a deadline. I have a lot of shit on my plate right now, so I haven't even started mine. I'm sure you'll be well in plenty of time to do vocals.

terrif.  i put you on the list.

i have to pick a song still.  i'm going to do that right now.

okay.  can i pick one and the same?  i don't think anybody picked that, right?

tomEisenbraun

dude, Meg. Do it.

Okay, I take Oxen. Finally.

I was playing it in this large atrium the other day with reverb, and found I can finally hit all the notes, and that it sounded way more awesome than I ever thought it coudl with just an acoustic. So I might just go ahead and do a one-take sometime this week.

I love that song.

EC

dude, Tom.  'tis done.

I'm really glad you're doing Oxen.  As IF you wouldn't.  ;)

I'd like to do one, but we are busy recording other stuff right now.
Which songs have been taken.
Might be able to fit it in.

check out the 1st page of this thread, sideroad.  that'll give you an idea of what songs have been picked.

our deadline was marchish aprilish.  we're both pretty busy right now, but i would say april as a generality is a fairly good estimate.  :)

after more consideration  The Bear and Evelyn is not Real are also on my possible to do list, this time my brother will be singing.

Why not do both? You sing one, and your brother sing the other?
--- and that's 2 real 4 u.

The thing is, im not very good a singer.  I already did Bermuda HIghway for shits and giggles.  My brother is a much better singer.  I'll give it a try if you want but Bermuda Highway is the only MMJ song I could get anywhere close to Jim, and its only because I had to sing like Kermit the frog, haha.
I really wish I had a drumset too or a drummer to record, it would make something like Laylow much more full sounding.
