Monkey

At empyrean's request. I needed a break from mixing my own songs anyway, so I threw together this quick & dirty cover of the Counting Crows song in 15 minutes, and uploaded it warts and all - one take off the top of my head, complete with missed notes, words, and chords. Enjoy.

Man. I never would have thought gnfti + CC of my own volition, but this feels really natural. Like a glove. Well done.

Want to do a nerdy duet cover of Long December next month? Eh? Eh?

Funny you should say that. I try to practice self-imposed ignorance towards the perceived distinction between Truly Appreciable Good Music © and guilty pleasures, but still the opinion on CC is somewhat divided (as opposed to, say, Wilco or what have you, names which can be dropped at just about any party without fear of seeing your tastes challenged). Tough on the snobs, though, because I'm a big fan.

Anyway. Duet? Sure! You've got email.

Hot. Let's hit these fuckers with both barrels.

You two are potentially the only people on earth capable of making me enjoy Long December.

I look forward to seeing the fruits of your collective labor.

Holy crap, I just remembered that comment I made and checked to see if you replied. This is awesome. Nice job!
