Members Stackabones Posted October 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Absentee Postings Absentee Post from: rhancoxTitle: Social Disease Credits: Elton John (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) Click to Listen http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=rhancox/Social_Disease.mp3 rhancox Comments: This is one of my favorite songs to play for people. I've been recording everything separately, i.e. guitar, vocals, etc., but I decided I wanted to give this one the 'feel' that comes with playing and singing at the same time. I added some extra tracks but just to kind of round it out a bit. The vocals lean a bit to the left, but that's from mic placement. I liked the way I played it so I didn't want do it again. I did a video at the same time but when I put it together in MovieMaker, I couldn't get it in perfect sync with the audio. It's on my YouTube page (if you care to check it out), but I think it's a little distracting to watch and listen so I just posted the audio for the VOM. I hope you like it.

Absentee Post from: garthmanTitle: Wendell GeeCredits: REM Click to Listen http://www.box.net/shared/3jnclnrayk garthman Comments: The song appeared on the 1985 album 'Fables of the Reconstruction'. Recorded in one take via Audacity Absentee Post from: FendouglasTitle: Seth DavyCredits: Glyn Hughes Click to Listen http://www.box.net/shared/4lgil1pfe0 Fendouglas Comments: This was written in the 60's and it concerns a Jamaican-born Street Entertainer (Busker) called Seth Davy. His 'act' consisted of String Puppets, suspended from a wooden plank, which 'danced' as he tapped the plank in time to songs he would sing. He was well known in the 1890s for performing outside the 'Bevington Bush' bar (known locally as 'The Bevy' - and possibly the origin of the phrase 'going for a Bevy') which was located at Bevington Bush just north of Liverpool City Centre. This is yet another song that has been sung extensively by a multitude of folkies (as well as Rolf Harris - but we won't go there!) Recorded, as usual, 'off the cuff' in the true spirit of VOM - on my trusty Ibanez LE300 6 string - through a sEX1 mic and a Tascam US-122L; using Kristal for recording and mixing and Wavepad for converting to MP3 Absentee Post from: jtarbet2Title: The Barricades of HeavenCredits: Jackson Browne Click to Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZd-JTm5JI jtarbet2 Comments: This is a cover of my favorite Jackson Browne song!!

Absentee Post from: chriscarnucci Title: The Darker Side of Night Credits: Chris Carnucci Click to Listen chriscarnucci Comments: Hi all, I finished this song the end of last month, but just slammed it together on VOM eve. Been so busy here its carzy. But a good busy! I'm not sure how to explain this song. I'm hoping that somehow it will just explain itself. Some folks seem to get it, while others just stare at me like WTF are you talking about. I guess I'll leave it up to the masses to sort it out. Really looking forward to hearing everyone's submission! Thanks for listening. Chris The Darker Side of Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FussenKuh Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 I can always count on VOMs to hear some new (at least to my ears) music! I'm sure this month will be no different As for my submission... Title: Freak Originally By: Days of the New Several years ago, I posted my rendition of "Freak" by Days Of The New on YouTube. Well, flash forward a few years and I can now present it in completed form thanks to some excellent vocals from fellow YouTuber (is that a word?) kikmedown. The guitar was recorded in one take (I can't speak for the vocals). If you're familiar with the original album version, you'll notice it doesn't sound quite the same... in part because I simply can't play like Travis and in part because my inspiration came from their "bootleg" album where it's just played a bit differently. [YOUTUBE]usV5YFaxG4E[/YOUTUBE] As always it's far from perfect, but, I had a blast playing it. Here's hoping you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sixgunner455 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Saying Hello This month, I recorded a lot of crap. It was annoying. Stuff I know really well just didn't go into the machine sounding like I can sing or play or anything. Then one night, I had just listened to a Syren song that, for some reason, inspired me to just strum chords for a while. So I started with that, and recorded what I was playing, got out some hand percussion stuff, and a couple of hours later, I had this. It's almost worth listening too, but still a bit rough. Hope you enjoy. eta: link's working fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Galabar Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 This is my first attempt at a multi-track recording. I used Audacity along with my Larrivee SD-50. I hope you enjoy it. The Tide Is High Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bransonb Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Introducing Junko Ogawa The great thing about open mics is the opportunity they present to collaborate with other musicians. And then to be delighted that the collaboration takes an unpredicted direction. Junko (pronounced Joon'ko) is a talented singer/songwriter expatriate from Japan that frequents the same open mics I do. She's written some captivating orignal songs that she will wonderfully sing in English or Japanese as it suits the composition. And she accompanies herself on guitar and piano. But it was her voice that immediately interested me. It will start out in a low, sultry, alto that can explode in a demonstration of power and range. I think it was the low, sultriness that made me think that Junko and Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" would make a great match. My thought was to keep pretty close to Patti's original recording from her album "Wave". When I brought the project to Junko she was aware of Patti Smith but not this song. Once she listened to it she was intrigued and delved into the various live Smith performances of "Dancing Barefoot" posted on You Tube. The result was a take that is far more vocally ambitious and interesting than I had conceptualized, and I think marvelously demonstrates Junko's vocal and interpretive skills. We'll be performing this together with me on the Hummingbird along with bass and percussion this Monday night at the open mic. (If that comes off well maybe I'll post it for next month's VOM.) But this is how Junko and I rehearsed it. "Dancing Barefoot" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9738519 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TSMusic Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Well here is my submission for this month. The song is called Skye Of Tears. Something a little different musically. I'm not real happy with the way that YouTube is messing with the sound but there is nothing I can do about that. Anyways, give a listen. Thanks Tony [YOUTUBE]b7YGeKFdGt0[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Written last year. A song inspired by WTC/9-11-01 (the title), Peter Gabriel (intro lifted from Genesis, "Selling England by the Pound"), Dr. Seuss ("The Pale Green Pants"), R.E.M. ("Forgot to Breathe", "Losing My Religion"), Edward Lear ("The Owl and the Pussycat"), and an actual demigoddess (Virginia, who is my muse). Recorded this past summer in the stairwell of the palazzo where I lived in Rome. Guitar is my $9.99 plywood dread rescued from a pawnshop. Recorded 1-take on a Zoom H2. Kind of a quiet recording because it was very late at night and many other people had apartments served by that stairwell. http://www.box.net/shared/50re81skpr Lyrics:Windows on the World [104] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bludog79 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi guys great music out there. Here is what I have listened to so far. Man some great lyrics this time around. Rhancox - Social Disease, love the sound of that 12 string. Great tune. I am a big fan of the one take approach. I usually track everything separately, but this time did the one take thing. I think that often what you give up in clarity is more than made up for in performance. GREAT TAKE. Fendouglas - Love this tune. You always seem to introduce me to "new" tunes that I can't believe I have never heard. Nice playing, the waltz is a hard style to nail. You did it well. Jtarbet2 - Great tune. Love Jackson Browne. Very well sung. Melodious - Nice song. Great guitar work. Great lyrics. ChrisCarnucci - Hi Christian. Really enjoyed this song. I though the melody and the lyrics contrasted each other very well. To me it is a pretty melody, but with some heavy dark lyrics. I don't know if that was intentional, but it is cool. Nice job man! Fussenkuh - Great collaboration. Great tune, makes me want to go out and break something! Galabar - Great work on this. Nice playing on all tracks hypcollector - Great tune. Man you can tell a story. Great lyrics. MichaelMartin - Really nice recording. Another great story. You should get back to that stairway. Prefect ambience there man. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tbry Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Rhancox...Great vocals. I liked the feel. You impressed again! Fendouglas...That was a cool old folkie tune. Well done. jtarbet2....that was beautiful. Maybe a bit to much reverb. Good singing tho... Melodeous...outstanding work. Love it!! Chris C...Nicely done. I really enjoyed that. Fussenkuth...That one was hard to relate to. Good effort. Galabar...That was very cool. Nice job!! Fretts 99...you are very good. Good heart and soul in this one. mrmoe...nicely done. Bransob...I liked that Never heard it before believe it or not. I have a knockoff Hummingbird but yours sounds better. orbmi1...Nice bossa nova. That was wonderful sounding. hypcollector...Well that was an interesting story. Hope it all worked out ok...they should destroy the pics... MM...nice playing. very controlled and mellow.

Members Sangemon Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 OK, here we go..."Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Bob Dylan Recorded with my Martin 000-15S (no pickup) and an AKG 451 condenser mic. This is kind of an experiment. I recorded the guitar first (in one take) and then overdubbed the vocal. Next time I do this, I'll use a metronome. I was clearly speeding up at the end, I think because my hands were getting tired. This song is dedicated to my ex-wife. http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Sangemon/Dont_Think_Twice.mp3 I'll be back later to listen and comment.

Members recordingtrack1 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hello all, GREAT VOM, as usual. I've been working on this for a couple of hours. The first order of business is to apologize to Dan Fogelberg for it I've always loved this song and I kind of had a version of it in my head. I have tried this morning to put it into my computer and this is what came out. It' has four tracks. 1. Guitar and vocals 2. Bass Guitar 3. some overdubbed vocals. I didn't even try harmony cause I ain't that good at it. 4 a pad that I did on my KX61 to fill in the choruses. Sounds kind of weird. Anyway, just for laughs, my take on SCARECROW'S DREAM, Dan Fogelberg Listen at your own risk. http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=recordingtrack1/1Scarecrows_Dream.mp3 RT1:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterbuilt Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 This song is called "A Letter From Santa" and I wanted to record this early so that anyone looking for a "different" Christmas song this year would have plenty of time to learn it if they want to play it. I posted a multi-track of this on a few boards in 2009 when I wrote it and it got a lot of laughs. [YOUTUBE]mR5PuqKQocc[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterbuilt Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Lots of great submissions... A couple of stand-outs... rhancox, you had me laughing on a few lines in that song. clever. tbryson... I really liked the mood of that song. It painted a vivid picture in my mind. It reminded me of a movie that my wife and I just watched Friday evening. jtarbet2... That rendition was great. Jackson Browne would be proud. You have a great voice. I'd cut back on the reverb, you don't need it. It actually takes away from the vocals. Michael, as always, well written. Lots of diversity thus far. There might be a few more people submitting before midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
