We Were Witchy Witchy White Women for that signature E6 energy and weird lyrics.

That is a tall task and nigh impossible...Improper Dancing? E: I did not realize you also wrote nigh impossible in your post. E 2x: Def not witchy witchy. Decent song, but you need an honest representation of their music that will also hopefully hook them. Witchy is an honest representation of their music, but it's not going to hook anyone.

Different strokes I guess, it's probably my favourite along with Synthesizer. It's hard to suggest any one track considering they mix up their style so often, that and the sound changed quite a bit after Fire when half the band left.

I'm the Bomb is my fave E6 jam so I'd go with that I guess.

Ugh, all 5 people I had lined up to go to the show tomorrow night in Santa Ana have bailed for various reasons. Now I'm sitting here with 6 tickets trying to parse the idea of spending $80 for the train back and forth from Fresno to Santa Ana, and hotel, and drinks/food. Balls. e: Should have just bought tickets for the Hollywood show tonight and called in sick today.

All right, get to voting:quote:Crazies, you've done gone and done it. $35K...issa Stretchy. So here's the deal: all of those who have pledged (either now or by the end of voting on Thursday, July 3, 2014) can send us a message via Kickstarter with their selection indicated as to which of the following three songs they wish to see E6 record and include on the "Mimicry" portion of "Mimicry And Memories." Those nominated songs are: The correct choice, of course, is Easy Lover, so if you don't vote for that prepare to be mauled by badgers when you least expect it.

OH NO MAN posted:The correct choice, of course, is Easy Lover, so if you don't vote for that prepare to be mauled by badgers when you least expect it. This is correct. The only problem I'm having is deciding on which package to go with. Its between the poster and the Tait Nucleus? mix. I have the poster from the last Kickstarter, so I was thinking about keeping that going, but the mix could be pretty good so I'm torn.

Well, Everywhere won with 60 votes. However, since Easy Lover got 55 votes it was announced as the $45k stretch goal.

That's it, badger maulings for everybody.  Seriously though, Everywhere is a great choice as well, and since we're most likely getting Easy Lover anyway I'm perfectly fine with how this turned out.

All the hype in the Boston thread reminded me - Kaboobi, can you tell us now which song you picked for Mimicry?

Turn Me Loose by Loverboy. Was gonna be a Bowie song, then I talked to them during a boat show asking them to choose between a few ideas they had, and they hinted they might already have a Bowie. And Dick apparently really loving likes Loverboy.

Looked at their setlists from the current tour and confirmed that "Karate Lips" is their new show opener, at least for this tour. Which I am psyched for, it is my favorite song off of the new album so far and seems like an awesome way to open the show, with the chanting and all.Kaboobi posted:Was gonna be a Bowie song, then I talked to them during a boat show asking them to choose between a few ideas they had, and they hinted they might already have a Bowie. Your life is fascinating. I am not thrilled with Cat People, it seems like there are so many other short, funky Bowie songs that would be perfect for E6. Maybe the point is to do something different though. Personally I would be torn between Moonage Daydream ("I'll be a rockin' rollin' bitch for you") or Diamond Dogs (Dick screaming "This ain't rock and roll! This is genocide!!" at the beginning would be worth the price of admission alone). Your choice is golden though, and I'm also psyched for a lot of the other covers.

I was torn between Moonage Daydream and Young Americans, actually. Moonage Daydream is my favorite Bowie song but I think they could do an amazing Young Americans. Human Zoo is on Spotify. I really like it, more than Mustang, at least. Alone With Your Body is one of my new favorites. Live shows seem to start off with Karate Lips and It's Horseshit, and then play (Who the Hell Just) Call My Phone during Improper Dancing.

Well, the mystery of the Bowie comment has been solved: they're doing a cover of "Blue Jean" for a Bowie tribute album.

I'm personally super disappointed with Human Zoo, I feel like there's minimal development and the lyrics have finally gone over the edge from surreal/funny to just words in places. That said, Satanic Wheels is great.

What about Alone With Your Body? That one is among the top 5 best E6 lyrics, IMO. That said Human Zoo was a bit underwhelming. Good but not much more than that.
