Title: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: JaredLekites on April 28, 2010, 05:42:23 PM I thought I'd share this one. If there's ever another tribute cover album from the folks here at SS, I hope this one would be considered for it. I re-worked it to a mostly acoustic arrangement but kept the vocal parts complex.
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9078565 I'm doing all the vocals and instruments myself. Recorded it within the span of a week using a Tascam 4 track analog tape machine. The complexity of the vocal parts required a lot of bouncing back and forth which thankfully didn't hinder the quality of the final mix too much. I am quite pleased with the outcome. It's my little home made homage to what I consider a hidden gem from their highly commercial 80s period.

Acoustic covers of these songs (like the Onion AV club one of Kokomo a week or two ago) really emphasize how much Papa John is in these tunes ...

More people should cover 80s BB/BW stuff and give it a more 'organic' feel. Title: Re: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: the captain on May 01, 2010, 06:30:04 PM Very pretty.

That could be a concept for the next cover-tribute..... there are some very cool songs by the BBs in the 80s Title: Re: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: Alex on May 06, 2010, 01:50:42 PM Nice!
Title: Re: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: JaredLekites on May 07, 2010, 09:51:05 PM Thanks everyone!
Title: Re: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: KaylaMusic on May 16, 2010, 12:27:53 PM Really great cover!! I like your different tones for the different voices! It's really a pretty cover ;)
Title: Re: Cover of Somewhere Near Japan Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on May 16, 2010, 11:56:56 PM Really nice track. Shows just how well written the song was... you did excellent!
One thing though...be VERY careful uploading covers to Soundclick, as you could get your account termintated without the proper documentation. I almost lost my account over an *approved* cover of Daniel Johnston's "Devil Town" even though it was advertised at one point on HIS OFFICIAL WEBSITE. It wasn't him who complained either (obviously not as he apparently liked it a lot according to his brother Dick).
