MERSEY



Duffy is number one this week. the song sounds like watching a video of the 1960s with mute on. I saw this on t4 once and had no opinion. yet again, i missed the brits. its not been the same since sam fox presented it. that was some quality gear. i went to manchester instead. all i know is that leona lewis came home with jack shit and amy winehouse got talked about( husband in prison, gets hard prison men signed pictures of his wife for smack, she occasionally doesnt look her best). in the past week i have been to germany to see friends and we discussed kate nash's inflections at the end of a lot of words ( bittAH, fittAH) in depth. I say in depth. I think we just made the same joke over and over again and stretched it until it became unfunny and then funny again. the circle of life.

here is my cover again.

the sound at the end is me dropping the microphone onto some percussive things. if you are bothered.

and im actually using a different model of gameboy now (original brick size as opposed to gameboy colour) which has a lot less hiss and more bass on it due to a better sound chip or something. bothered.

YOUR TURN: why do i find amy winehouse attractive?

THE PRIZE FOR BEST ANSWER: a cover of any song you desire.

READY FOR A FORCE


credible songs to cover.. woop.
i thought that over and over was great, but the song is busy with little analogue bits on it here and there, too much periphery dossing around , so in my opinion it doesnt really have a clear build up to the chorus (which is pretty fucking great) so it just kind of just,,, starts, its kind of like one of stock aitken and watermans more minor hits( donna summer, reynolds girls, sam fox- nothings gonna stop me now) .in my opinion. so i made it verse chorus, and then repeated it. made it simpler. vocals again done in one take, my practice version of trying to do some lightning bolt esque contact-mic primal screaming backing thing didnt work. partly because i was wearing a pashmina over my mouth and face like a hijab and not really trying hard enough to make it work. and the fact that it was a fucking stupid idea didnt help.
i think with trying to harmonise with my own voice i normally get it around the second verse. and i was right. i intend to listen to the song a few more times, i hear on good terms that its a grower, it doesnt really strike me as a single, more of an album track to be honest, and i was quite surprised by how high this was in the charts. roll on atp vs pitchfork, where ill probably not watch them and hang out in the arcades.

MEN AT WORK 1979


this is the best thing i have had to cover since leona lewis. songs fucking awesome. and the hyper fast vocals are dope and fucking shred.
its really been a pleasure to cover something which is half decent, and i think it shows in the enthusiasm. the newly enforced dogme rules of only having one take lead me to slow the song down a lot so i didnt trip all over my words, which i still did anyway( and covered it up with the other layer). but i dont really understand how they have marketed it. i covered the album version, but the freemasons radio edit is fucking rubbish. it strips the bhangra bit off of it which was dangerously close to panjabi mc' s 2003 hit "Mundian To Bach Ke(Beware of the Boys)", and leaves it sounding really bassy, like a club edit. but shit club.
the chorus has probably the best keychange i have heard , reminds me of when the theme tune to Turrican 1 on the Commodore Amiga kicks in, well Chris Huelsbeck. Well , its the best key changes since leona lewis. fucking awesome. so here it is. its songs like this that make listening to popular music and interpreting them on gameboy worthwhile, as my dad once said.

CHASING THE PAVENEMTS



HERE IS ADEDLE HERE: CHASOING PAVEMENTS.

i really struggled with this song, i couldnt really get anywhere with it. i took the initial chord progression and then listened to the rest of the song once, and then forgot about the chorus , took the lyrics and did what i probably would have done with it.

apologies for the delay on putting this up, have been very busy all week with other musical things and couldnt get round to finishing this off.

again, this was one take for both vocals, which explains some bad timings throughout.

i think it works better with vocals quite high without any effects on.

enough talking about adele. the only thing that i have encountered this week is the jared leto '30 seconds to mars, 20 minutes of ang lee rip off , 10 minutes of credits and poor dialogue'

highlights indicating that jared leto can bridge the same singer/ actor gap as greats like bruce willis ( something blues with a boardwalk in), eddie murphy ( party all the time, probably something offensive about aids or gay people) or that fit one from hollyoaks who went on a cruise ship but was in allstars include these gems:

jared leto examining a map, looking fit but confused: 'its like a map, so bizarre'

jared leto examining a scroll outlining what gift he has recieved, looking fit but confused: ' this is a gift?'

its on youtube, predictably: A + B

comments , feedback etc always appreciated and occasionally acted upon.

love you x

SUPERBSTART


BASSHUNTER IS NUMBER ONE AND HE IS GORGEOUS AND THE HIGHEST ENTRY IS LUPE FIASCO. HERE YOU GO MATE. its all change in the charts this week, good old britney's ket adventure putting her in good stead in the top 5. leon jacksons gone already, very sad times for music yes right there.

so , onto the song. ive changed the dogme rules again to make things more interesting.
from now on, its going to be the first take of the lead vocals and the backing. im not allowed another chance at it. its what ive been doing for the last few weeks anyway.
the last few have been pretty straight up, faithful -ish covers, but i thought id just take the chord progression and make it as fennesz esque as you can on gameboy. for some reason when you switch between different things too much on different channels sometimes it can glitch and go a bit mental. have no idea why this is, but it happens on the last chorus, and i think it sounds pretty boss. if you like that kind of thing. if you dont, sorry for everything.

having currently played the last gig in my old band, i am struck with the realisation that in the mean time, the only things i really do involve cover versions of pop songs on gameboy. i think this is a good thing.

so, onto other pop news. amelle from t' sugababes has smacked some lass .
shes in trouble with the police. i think i could be the person to tame her wild ways. perhaps i would take her to ferry meadows or perhaps to woburn safari park as these are calming places, and then i could play her some slowdive and my bloody valentine perhaps and she would perhaps join a new band. perhaps.

bye again.
