others i know..

over your shoulder (i would never be able to do it justice. it’s got lots of guitar-ry operatics i can’t even touch.)

i’d love to see someone attempt "pickle song".

what’s the deadline?

my band > http://www.sweettempers.com

Pickle Song would be quite an undertaking. I would think of all Mascis material that would be the toughest to really and try to "cover" it.
I mean who plays the mouth harp or has a real theramin probe.

I think it was Deepslush (well, whatever he went by then, haha) requested that R/J covered the little baby. I think I learned it back then, but my band never did. Ive got to get a computer that can handle recording, or just get my cousin to fly in from LA and both of us record something together lol….not going to happen. I don’t know what song I would cover….I would have to sit in listen to a lot of Dino and see what really hits me….Alone is a great song, no one has said that yet I don’t think….or Gotta Know.

I could list all day, but I can’t record. Oh well, maybe next time.

R/J

ok …ofc i can play em all…been doin it for 10 years+ so …workin on a few from the later with some heavy solos…but i think it will be "grab it" "flyin cloud heavy" or "Forget it" something fat…i also have some intresting versions a more spaced out but i’ll see..

and no jeremiah…my old band "jabber & govelou" is dead since long,,some of em play among bigger acts now.."mustache insanity" released 3 albums…and currently the website is under heavy construction…..awaiting the BOOM…soon to come..

got it! i’ll cover Gargoyle: it’s the very first song i heard Dinosaur Jr play live back in the days…
so it’s a choice of heart more then everything else.
just gimme 15 days or so and you’ll be able to listen to it.
cheers!

I’m want to do an A cappella Sludgefeast from the shower. I hope the deadline gets pushed back because, it’s going to take me some time to figure how to record it. Not a joke, I’m really going to try.

[oldskool1221]

i might be able to do quest by myself—or sludgefeast with my band—or i was thinking about doing a really trippy version of poledo or pointless

[oldskool1221]

i really dig your cover tonas,the drums came in at the right time plus it was really unexpected

Thanks Oldskool, I’ve gotten a really nice response from everyone. I’m glad people like it.

[NeonBoulevard]

hey tonas!
i downloaded you cover many times, but i can’t listen to it!?
is somebody able to figure out why?!?

[Randy Jane]

Annastefka…..I think more people than me would agree that your song would be better if we had a video of you doing your tune in the shower. WOOO

Thats weird, I can play it on Windows media player.

I recorded it with Garageband and imported it into iTunes, then burned it to CD.

I copied the CD to windows media player and changed the file extension to mp3 from wma.

Maybe only Windows media player can only play the mp3, I don’t know DeepsIush had the same problem too.

I did not have any problems with it but I just downloaded it and pulled it up in media monkey. to test, it also played just fine in itunes.

GREAT!!! I think we will probably move the deadline to June 15th because I just got around to sending out more info on it.
Can’t wait your cover!

Thanks for moving the date. I don’t follow the forums super-closely ever day, so I certainly appreciate you sending info on the cover project via e-mail.

This’ll give me time to do a proper recording.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha…………..I’m a 42 year old Mama of four children, the song would NOT be better with a video, trust me on this.
I remember when we got into our late 20’s and us girls would do the "pencil" test, place a pencil under your breast and if it stays, you know your breasts are starting to hang or fall or whatever………well, I can like store my cell phone, a wallet and a small bag of groceries under each breast so………… ……….I’m not a tiny little girl like I was in my 20’s.
Someone got a photo of me just the other day….. http://www.athenshumanrightsfest.org/images/Crowd06.jpg”>http://www.athenshumanrightsfest.org/images/Crowd06.jpg ……..that’s me on the left hand side of the crowd photo, standing in a blue tee-shirt and khaki pants, with the baby on my hip, he has no shirt on because his Dad brought him a huge chocolate ice cone and he had on a new white polo shirt……….thanks Dad. I’m in the middle of that blue tent like thing. That’s my good friend Livia with me, she is in a red shirt and bending down to pick up her one year old girl. We are both in our 40’s with older children about to be teenagers in a few months. That’s the Athens Human Rights Festival, a downtown music event that lasts all weekend long.
