I second this and stamp it with Ollie's seal of approval.

i would dig out a mic to beatbox/ rap with wacky.

i'vebeenknowntothrowdownsomerhymsaswell...

but I would only do it if I could get my song back from this friend of mine T_T

You misunderstood me, I really like Ska (at least SOME bands). I have a few Reel Big Fish albums somewhere. It's the thought of me singing it that's funny to me.

i wasn't talking directly to you sorry if it seemed that way

My brother is an excellent drummer. Doesn't do double kicks. Not sure if he'd be able to do it for this though.

Also one of his hands are broken.

Still played a show the other day though.

Hm... lack of a drummer is a pretty big deal, unless wacky/emil/ollie can lay some beats for us? Will it work with a bunch of instruments overlapping and stuff? We pretty much have everything but a drummer...

To get this rolling though, anyone know any good songs that don't have a drummer (or have something beat-box-able) that wouldn't be too hard to get things off the ground?

Sorted.

I think I have a pretty good song for us:


It's got plenty of piano, guitar, bass, drums, brass and vocals. The different guitar parts in The End will give a few people a chance to shine and Marsh's bro can have a go at the drum solo.

OMG I do that drum solo on my desk when I'm thinking.

If we do a Beatles song we should do Revolution number 9. I mean She's so heavy

She's so

HEAVYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Glass Onion is on right now. Coincidence? Yes.

There are so many awesome Beatles songs I don't think we'll all be able to agree on one to do. Unless we do a mash up of a few OR do it DJ Dangermouse style.

ok so i got these new hickory drum sticks after i broke the "indestructible" maple ones which are like very sexy n stuff....

anyway, i've been drummin for about 6-7(? god im losing track) years now, and if I can find a way to position myself behind a set up soon, I would be happy to fill the position...

and if not, I'll play the Electric Cowbell.

Grey Album cover then?

I personally would love something like that. Even if it's some kinda mash up we do on our own. But still I'll bust out some Jay z anytime. I love that fool.

Oooo emil that would work pretty nicely. I was listening to my ipod today and "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor came on... anyone want to try the vocals? :P That's really the only hard part of the song

I'm all for whatever people want to try

Oh my god. I'm actually tempted to try that.

I should practice it and learn the lyrics and see how it goes.




I love that song.

So we need a song that combines brass as well as conventional rock instruments huh.....


Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Ok I wanted to test out just 2 tracks together, so anyone want to do vocals for Hallelujah (the Rufus Wainwright version)? I also wanted to try out different methods of sound recording for quality, so let me know if you want to do this with me (don't care if you're a good or bad singer )

Well I can sing that pretty easily but that's going to rule out every instrument but the piano.

Also I kind of busted up my nose and mouth yesterday so it hurts to live a little bit and it has affected my singing. It will be a little bit before I can get back into the swing of things.

well it was more just an easy project (both parts are pretty easy i think) to see how it would sound with just 2 things mixed together

Ok this kinda died, but I was looking around and realized a pretty big problem: sheet music. Pretty big problem, unless everyone can do everything by ear?

I have Guitar Pro, it's a music tabbing program and it's how I taught myself guitar and bass. We could all work off the same file and attribute tracks to each other.

I could send it out to people who were going to be involved, I'm sure I have the installer somewhere.

Guitar Pro is awesome. I used to play around with it... I don't know where my installer stuff went though.

But, I would like to see something like this done if possible...

or

Its just a jump to the left....
