i dont think ive posted this one before. i just uploaded something to youtube.. but it has lost a shitload of quality (even by youtube standards) so it's kinda pointless. but fuck it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxh_myVTWdwit's not a cover, but... this is a bit of a curio that i just found on my laptop. it's a song i basically wrote, recorded and mixed (quite poorly) with a friend in ONE DAY in 2004.. we wanted to do one of those quick 'Instant Karma' type things, where you just have a rough idea and blast it out as quickly as possible. rather than obsessing over details and getting everything perfect. we were at the college where i was working at the time, and this guy was the most talented student the music dept ever had (well, since id left anyway - i definitely got a higher grade than him!). i think i was probably meant to be showing him something important for his coursework/exams at the time, but he started playing this keyboard riff with harpsichord/piano sounds mixed together... then i started with this weird little mantra of... 'i am the big i am the big i am the be all and end all'.. so, we went into the college studio and set up a few drum mics... he played the drum part, i added bass and he put his keyboard part on (i was going to do a guitar solo but we didnt have time) and then we both double tracked vocals together, playing off each other's performance and improvising a few parts.. within a couple of takes, we had a rough idea of what we were going to do... so we did it. within a 4-5 months, it was the number one song on our local BBC Radio station's unsigned chart (this show, at the time, was totally dominated by future Mercury Prize nominee Maps.. although he may have been called Short Break Operator at the time). www.bbc.co.uk/northamptonshire/content/articles/2005/04/02/weekender_tracklisting_feature.shtmlwe didnt even have a band name, so it was 'the big i am' by 'the big i am'. anyway.. the main idea is pretty cool... it probably rambles on a bit too long (seeing as there are so few lyrical things happening and we never managed the guitar solo) but the ending (from 2:30 until the music fades), which eventually just leaves the vocals on their own, is pretty neat. i think he EQd and mixed it, just to work on his technique. maybe im wrong though. ive still got the master tapes around here somewhere. my 2 vocals are the ones that, at the end are doing 'call me, just call me.. anything...' and the falsetto 'i won't call you'.. and my good friend Ash is the one doing the 'i cant sleep at night, its fear and im missing you'.. it sounds a lot nicer at full quality, where you can hear the harpsichord properly.

Very nice. Thanks for keeping it up and letting me listen because I missed some others. I love that song. Your guitar part sounds great. Are you finger picking? I hate not having my guitar to play. My electrics do not quite have the same feel, but I guess they will have to do until I can fix it the saddle which is cracked and not allowing me to hold all of the strings in tune.

thank you kindly.
yeah, it's fingerpicked. i played and sang it from memory, so it might not be structurally correct..

sublime! better than the original I think Neil's a great musician but sometimes, his voice, particularly in needle and the damage done sounds a bit.. I'm trying to think of a more positive word than whiney..

I'm trying to think of a more positive word than whiney.. a little bit too much praise i think. i was in 2 minds as to whether to put this up because i think I sound pretty whiney.. glad you liked it though.
