AM! Covers

I really need a better way of recording

Have you got a sample of the drums on their own I could steal to have my own shot at Searching... ?

Yeah, I can definitely do that for you. I'll post it someone tomorrow.

The reason the drums are spot on and the vocals/guitar/bass are terrible is becuase I've been playing drums for about six years. Where as bass for about six months, and guitar for about a week.

i thought the guitar and bass were good, i wasn't complaining about that, i just think you gotta sing along with the song a few times to get in the right key, haha

practice practice practice. the beauty of against me! songs is they are simple, but amazing

I've just raped Cliche Guevara with a sound recorder on windows an acoustic guitar (not knowing the song) and my voice


Here it is...http://www.sendspace.com/file/e35gz7

A sketchy version of Joy. I'm not sure what I'll put on the CD thing yet.

you make all their songs so gentle, it's beautiful haha...and by all i mean the two you've recorded

i'm going to say this is my final version. it's still a bit rough, but i had one of those "i just woke up, let's record a song while my voice is at it's peak" days, which was actually not quite my peak, but whatever. i'm happy with it. feedback is totally welcome.

That's the 2nd best version I've ever heard. (after AM!)

well thanks!

Haha, I wish I could scream dude. But whatever, I guess it makes it different. The only time I can really scream and be loud is at a show.

it just kinda...puts the songs into another light, i like it a lot. i recorded a version of joy that i did while i was just getting bronchitis haha, do you mind if i put it up?

Nope, go ahead.

i'm not as audible as i should be, but that's what you get for having the mic closer to the amp + bronchitis. also, that's a guitar doing the organ noise.

the roskoes do a really great cover of walking is still honest



did anyone already post them?

i'll try to record mine sometime this week and post it. i've got a pretty decent recorder right now, so it should sound pretty good can't tell you that you'll like what i do to it though... but that's your own opinion. ANYWAY. point being, i'm gonna just record them all together and put it up in the next few days. it's gonna sound kinda Billy Bragg-esc

Here's my cover of From Her Lips to God's Ears.

I don't know if my voice is quite suited, but 1.23 makes the song completely worth it.

Don't forget Ben Lee's cover of the entire album NEW WAVE.

He's not a member here.

True, and to be honest, I wasn't really feelin' Ben Lee's cover of New Wave too much. It's pretty badass that he took the initiative to cover the entire album, but in comparison to AM!, it just made me kind of sleepy. =\

Yeah, I am not a big Ben Lee fan. At all. His voice is physically painful to me.

i am interested in the AM! Cover Project, however all I have is a copy of Fruity Loops. Would anyone care if I did a less than traditional version of an AM! tune?

No promises, mind you. But I was thinking about hammering out a version of "Turn Those Clapping Hands....", if I can work everything out and mix it correctly.

If anyone wants to collaborate on anything, that would be cool too. I like to work with people.

if you make the beat, i'll play the guitar and sing for "turn those clapping hands into angry balled fists"? or just guitar if you wanna sing

I'd like to sing, but I've got to get me a mic. But that's not so hard. We can both sing. It'll be fun.

I'll make the beat, then.

Shoot me an e-mail, maybe we can work it out. Or......just keep yelling at me to do it. I am remarkably lazy.

I can contribute guitar or bass if needed. As this thread has shown, to describe my singing as "below par" would be the biggest understatement since Hitler was described as "not being too fond of Jews".
