The e-Collaboration Thread (Prayer, Little Bird, Soulful Old Man Sunshine)

[hypehat]

Are requests being made for more covers for the album? I was thinking "Amusement Parks, U.S.A" since
that one isn't covered too often

So long as you, or someone else is willing to do a cover, it should be done! I'm doing a couple more for FOTM and Beets By Dre (stellar new username) but we really haven't locked a tracklist down. Just keep calling them until we get an album, I suppose?

(Cracking sax work on Stevie BTW)

I'd pester Egohanger, it'd work with his garagey sound imo and he's been far too modest on this thread 

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Hopefully you guys like my parts, I can re do them to be played better thats mostly just to show what I mean

Personally, Amusement Parks USA is not one of my faves at all, but I'll sing ANYTHING! Actually, it might be cool to give it a full on Brian circa-60s lead, as opposed to the way Mike sings about half on the original. Not that there's anything wrong with his lead, he's great. I think that old saying applies here, make a track and I shall sing!

@Hype - Garagey sound? How dare you, sir. I make full, grandiose, audiophile Pet Sounds and Smile productions in my bedroom in my bathrobe while eating snacks! For the lurve of Melinda, this isn's right at all. I am the next B-dub! (poor attempt at a joke).

@FOTM - I didn't get a chance to d/l and hear what you've done. I'll probably forget. But, in general, you have good taste, and quoting from the brilliant track that is Let Him Run Wild couldn't possibly turn out bad.

Thanks for the compliment, hypehat! Glad you like it!

Okay, sounds great! Neat idea, I'll get to working on the track, thanks!

Working on a string quartet for Kiss Me Baby using the acapella as a guide.... Man, I love working with The Beach Boys  

[EgoHanger1966]

I was sitting in class this morning and had the wildest idea for Amusement Parks. Sing a variation of H&V/Bicycle Rider theme over the instrumental break.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

YES.

[hypehat]

That is a fucking banging idea.

I am totally down with that

Everything sounds great guys! Just waiting on vocals from Rab & Austin and our little frankenstein will be complete.

We need to make a picture sleeve for this single!

Man it sounds amazing

I'd say that sounds really legit in several places. Not digging the be-doo-dahs so much, but the pure harmony was righteous.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Yeah if you guys don't like that it can be easily cut out by the editor

Agreed. I'm also hearing an off key note in the harmonies now. I think they were cool as they were. A bass part isn't necessary either. I actually tried it originally but it felt like I was just doing it to "do it". Didn't really add anything to the arrangement.

So what else we got? I like the idea of doing My Diane. Did anyone start that yet?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

where is it? Is it me

[hypehat]

Who wants to sing on Kiss Me Baby? Have arranged it for strings/bass/fingerpicking guitar (if I can play the fucking part on take 4,970, but should be done after that - maybe slight percussion) and of course, lovely harmonies. FOTM has snagged the lead, and I'd quite like Dennis' part. Do we have a Mike, Carl & Al in the house?

I'd be down for Mike!

Totally down for doing it! But I need a day or two - I have a cold and my throat is somewhat sore...

But I will try to get them to you in the next few days. The backing track sounds amazing btw!

Sorry to hear about the cold, def that time of year. Sounds great, looking forward to hearing. And thanks!

Nice! I'd be down to do a little sangin.

I'm a bit under the weather myself

Oh sh*t sorry dude, forgot I need your Carl 2 part in there too! Get better soon bud.

By the way, I saw a masseuse this morning. Might have to throw a cover of Marcella in the mix 

[Austin]

Wow -- I was just listening to the BW demo before I saw this thread and pondering a cover, so what a pleasant surprise!

I'm remote from any microphones that aren't a laptop for the next several days. I would love to sing the part when I'm back again, but if somebody needs/wants to take the part before then, that's totally cool.

I can do Al (that's what Mrs. Jardine said), unless someone else would like to.

Can you make the bass and guitar all Pet Sounds-y? The plucking style, I mean. Don't really know how to describe that...I also have a vintage 60s snare. If you need some Hal Blaine-esque drum rolls, lemme know.
