So I only know so many songs completely... so I decided to record one.
I totally effed up on some of the chord changes and some the vocal timing is awful... but I did it! and I'm kinda proud.
It's a cover of No Children by The Mountain Goats

It's really the first time I've ever even tried doing a song by myself.

hahaha you've got teh john darniellez down.
FYI, the stream tags use WMP (on windows), which doesn't support m4a so it doesn't work. i had to go direct.

Lame I was trying to sound a bit harsher and angrier then him.
Nicole said I should have kept the first few takes I did, "they were prettier". Which given the nature of the song is why I kept the one where my voice was already blown.

You're too kind. Nicole was right, some of the earlier takes I did were actually what I would call good... but they were vocally maybe a bit too similar to the original. I needed to hanan it up a bit.

it's art
i think whore house is more like when you post a song to promote your band or a gig but who cares. well i always feel awkward promoting one of my bands i try not to do it and just record a song and put it up here because you guys' responses are really motivating and makes me realise it's hypocrite to say i just do it for myself, i don't, i love feedback.
art shack, whorehouse, it's pretty much the same really it's not pub babble and it's not straighton geargeekery.

I like it!
I never learned a full song until I joined a band and to this day I don't remember a full cover for the life of me. I always get some then give up, or stealz it for my own song (since I end up making shit up on b/c I can't remember or learn it properly).
keep it up, that was refreshing.
