Blah blah ROCKSTAR! You record a song and submit it for judgement by the few, the determined, the GBS TROLLS. This month/quarter/semester/millenia, it's TALES FROM THE ROAD. Cover a song about travelling. The road. The highway. The journey. Rules: 1. Goddamn SPACE ODDITY IS OUT because anytime somebody covers it they win. gently caress you. I know what I'm talking about. (this is a joke. Alt Pants did a killer version of the song. As usual, I'm just butt-hurt that I didn't win). 2. Just loving cover a song about being in a car, going from here to there. It's not rocket science. It's rocket engines. 3. Stake Your Claim, Record Your Song, Submit it. Everyone's a winner in THE SA ML ROCKSTAR. ----((( DEADLINE IS JUVEMBER TWENTEEENTH )))------- JULY 30TH, you goddamn slow producers. I'll start it off: I'm calling GROOVE LINE by HEATWAVE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhzsScVjHf8 magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Life is kicking me but if I get a chance I'm doing The Passenger by Iggy Pop. Close enough, right?

I'm trying to find the Rockstar entry of Yakety Sax with the steel drums from several years ago. Does anyone have a link?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBKOcUbHR0 Probably this one. edit: I've been itching to explore the musicology of 80s Synth Pop, so whatever I end up doing, that'll be the genre I fail to replicate. nh fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jun 14, 2016 |

For my first ever ML Rockstar entry I'm going to do Bruce Springsteen's Highway 29. An utterly beautiful song which I will no doubt butcher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db8uxbYC5uU

Grooveline is too drat boring to cover. I'm calling SPACE ODDITY BY DAVID BOWIE. Oh I kid I kid you sour puss chimp fuckers. I have no clue what I'm covering. But it's going to include sax because I got one. edit: The Walker by Fitz and the Tantrums. That's travel, right?

Putting the final touches to my Highway 29 cover. Stupidly at the time I couldn't be bothered to move my mic out of the living room so now I need to spend hours fading vocal takes where you can hear cars going up and down the road outside.

Good job on your progress so far. All I have is garbage. I might change my song. I thought a repetitive ballad would be a good structure to swap different styles in and out of, but I find myself almost exclusively bored.

Just saw there's a new contest and the deadline is right around the corner! I'm going to claim Tiny Cities Made of Ashes by Modest Mouse. If I'm feeling really fancy and have enough time I might take a crack at Wanderlust by Björk. Edit: Maybe The World At Large by Modest Mouse... sorry about listing so many songs but I figure there's only 8 days until the deadline so there won't be too many people hopping on board. If anyone wants to do one of these songs go right ahead. Koivunen fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Jul 23, 2016 |

Totally going to record my poo poo this wee--OKAY FINE gently caress YOU ALL WITH YOUR DOING THINGS AND FINISHING THINGS. I'll do it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jesus I hate you overachievers. MOTHERFUCKER there's only FOUR submissions? Can we at least until Saturday night? Four submissions makes it look like nobody cares. Five, THAT says "participation". Can you guys live with that, or are you worried my (failed to actually record) submission will blow all your poo poo away? I mean, we all know the vote is rigged, I'll come in second even if I get Freddie Mercury and Prince and Bowie to rise from the dead to contribute to my (failed to actually record) submission. Or, gently caress it, I can throw in a turd I recorded years ago? You know, forget that. I'll post it asap. You guys recorded your submissions. We're half a year past the original deadline date. magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Aug 4, 2016 |
