I Want You Back
Live recording from my school's Motown Cover project last autumn, of the classic tune by the Jackson Five. Enjoy! [more inside]
We are gonna be friends (White Stripes Cover)
I was just having fun playing that cute White Stripes classic while messing around with Garageband effects I didn't realize existed, but I enjoyed what came out so I thought I'd post it.
Town in a Lake
Maniac
A cover of the song from the Flashdance soundtrack for the #1 song challenge. [more inside]
My Train is Coming
One of my contributions to an XTC tribute album project from 2001. The song, written by Andy Partridge, was taken from a rough demo floating around on bootleg cassettes, but never actually released by XTC. [more inside]
People Got to Be Free
Cover of The Rascals' song that was a Billboard #1 hit on the day I was born. With a bit of a nod to "The Model." [more inside]
Kite
My wife and I recorded this tonight. It's originally by Copeland. We were particularly happy with the result, so I thought I'd share.
Heart of Glass
A busy, silly, energetic million-things-going-on-at-once cover of the Blondie song that was #1 the day I was born. [more inside]
Good Enough
Another cover song (you seem to respond better to those, anyway :P ), this time something as unoriginal as Evanescence (I know, all the emo kids are doing it...) Yet again, a recording from my vocal exam last week. [more inside]
Teardrop
A recording from my vocal exam last week, of the song Teardrop, originally by Massive Attack. [more inside]
Na Na, Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) [Steam cover]
If, at a meetup, bondcliff hadn't pointed out this month's music challenge to me, I might have covered this song eventually anyway.
But since it's this month's challenge, and since bondcliff and I were born on the same day/month/year (same city and same first and middle name, too), I decided, hey, why not do a nutty, rushed job on it instead so that it actually means something. [more inside]

the boy in the bubble
an infectious, pounding cover of the Paul Simon classic.
Forty-Six & 2
Recording from my vocal exam at school last Tuesday, of the Tool-song Forty-Six & 2. [more inside]
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack cover)
umbú and I were born pretty close to each other, since this song was also #1 on the week I was born. For some reason, I pictured my version performed by some weird mix of Geinoh Yamashirogumi and Tokyo Jihen. [more inside]
Wuthering Heights
This is an unplugged version of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights that we recorded for a project at school. The arrangement was a joint effort, and I'm singing it. I got a terrible cold days before we were due for the studio, and thus this is not as good as it could have been. [more inside]
Physical
Completely fucked dance-noise cover of Olivia Newton-John's "Physical." Sincere apologies to my parents, who were big fans of her when this came out. [more inside]
Hello Stranger (Barbara Lewis/Yvonne Elliman cover)
My covers of Linda Ronstadt and Gabby Pahinui bookend this third generation cover of "Hello Stranger". (I used the Elliman cover as reference.) [more inside]
Dead Man's Will (Iron & Wine cover)
A cover, but unfortunately not a cover of Vogue by Madonna for the monthly challenge. This is the result of me trying to really know what I am doing with a song before I record, instead of just recording with a "I'll fix that later" approach and piling on more and more tracks. So this is one track, recorded on a USB mic in a pretty stairwell on my college's campus. I'm still stuck on the BbGCFABb tuning. I'd absolutely love any thoughts.
Memo To My Son
I love Randy Newman. Along with the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and Cat Stevens, he was the first musician I fell in love with as a child, thanks to my parents. I've covered him once before on MeFi. Now I'm doing it again. [more inside]
Moonlight Lady (Gabby Pahinui cover)
Moonlight Lady by Gabby Pahinui is the only Hawaiian music song I like. I covered it in the style of a shoegazer band. [more inside]
aint no rest for the wicked - cover
Cover of cage the elephant's song aint no rest for the wicked.
Fever
Delaytastic mix. [more inside]
La Isla Bonita (cover)
Don't Stop Kazooin'
Journey's Don't Stop Believin' as a kazoo quartet improvisation. [more inside]
You Got It (bluegrass cover)
Roy Orbison gets the lofi FourTrack treatment. This is pretty rough stuff, but has convinced me that with some care You Got It could be a fucking tremendous bluegrass number. [more inside]
Hotel California (cover)
An abbreviated acoustic take on the done-to-death Eagles song, on uke, banjo, upright, and brushes. Another breakneck iPhone/FourTrack recording. [more inside]
Kids (MGMT cover)
Another loud, sloppy, first-takes-only FourTrack cover. One of my favorite earworms, though I should really have listened to it a few times to figure out how the verses go. [more inside]
Runaway Train (Soul Asylum cover)
The break-neck lo-fi fest continues with this cover of a song I just loved to death back in high school. [more inside]
Live Life
A cover of the Kinks song
Complicated (Avril cover)
I still don't know why exactly I just did this, but here is a deeply lo-fi cover of Avril Lavigne's Complicated, from vague memory and sight-read lyrics, on an iPhone using the Sonoma Wireworks/retronyms application FourTrack. [more inside]
Bear friend
I was hiking in the Pyrenees the other day. Lovely weather, but I was in a bad mood. I felt sad. [more inside]
Axel F cover sorta
I was messing around with some VST plugins the other day and this is what it turned into... I liked it so much i felt that i had to share it with others... hope you like it
Grand Canyon (The Magnetic Fields)
A cover of the great song by The Magnetic Fields, recorded by myself but for a cover band that is beginning to form called the Magnetic Feel-'er-uppers. Features Bb stairwell guitar, whistling, and harmonica/harmony.
Thirteen
Really quick and dirty, from memory. R.I.P Alex. [more inside]
fresh prince of bel air cover
if you're gona dance to this it must be the carlton.
Hurt So Bad (Linda Ronstadt cover)
She's Got You
A cover of the Patsy Cline song, recorded (in slightly better quality that my previous uploads!) at our rehearsal on Friday.
Danville Girl
Cover of the Dock Boggs song, on banjo naturally. [more inside]
Sealed With A Kiss
This is a kind of electro-acoustic-surf cover of a song that's been covered to death. The version I know was Bobby Vinton's. [more inside]
Earthbound
This is a simple Rodney Crowell cover song. I have liked the song for the longest time. I did a simple version for the love of the song. My landlord did the leads and fancy parts still simple but was a fun way to spend the day.
Knock on Wood
Another cut from the aforementioned poorly recorded jam session. Cover of Eddie Floyd's "Knock on Wood." [more inside]
Where Is My Mind
Pixies cover, with the debut of my new theremin (and a little bit of my new cowbell). [more inside]
I Need You
A cover of the Beatles song by the informal band I'm in, recorded very poorly at our last basement jam session. [more inside]
Mr Brightside Accoustic ish
Just a quick Killers cover done on me new macbook pro. Used garage band and laptop's internal mic for the vocals. Got the girlfriend to play the keys for most of it.
First attempt really :-)
You Still Look Like You Did Before
This is a crude cover of "You Still Look Like You Did Before" By Chococat & ORthey. I love the song so much I asked Choco if I could cover it and he said yes. Hopefully I can get it sounding better with some guest players. [more inside]
Hero
This is what happens when nobody knows how the song goes, but you play it anyway. [more inside]
Road To Nowhere
All-vocal Talking Heads cover. [more inside]
The Most Wonderful Day of The Year (Misfit Toys)
From the "Island of Misfit Toys" scene in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
What was wrong with the doll? [more inside]
Death and the Maiden
Cover of the Verlaines. [more inside]
Butcher (Leonard Cohen cover)
Had I my druthers, I would be in a blues duo akin to The Black Keys or The Pack A.D. But I'm not, so I have to make do with smacking my Epiphone around and putting amp simulation on my voice. If ever I find a drummer who shares my vision, we will cover this song properly. [more inside]
