WH Tribute Album? Need Volunteers to Coordinate

[SpikyDave]

I'd love to be involved somehow. My main talents are guitars and vocals - I'm pretty good at working out harmony parts, a good singer (I sing country tunes at open mics and so far have never been bottled as a result, and where I live that's positively a ringing endorsement!) & I can play guitar pretty good too. Not a great soloist but can riff as well as the next guy.

Only problem is software - I should be getting Fruityloops in the next week or so but have no idea how to record guitars & live stuff thru my PC. Guess I'll work it out though as long as it doesn't come with those translated-from-Japanese-by-an-Englishmen instruction manuals ('Two languages in one head... no-one can live at that speed!!!').

Keep me posted.

I will always strongly recommend Audacity (do a search in google). It's free, easy, comprehensive, powerful.

Multilayering, effects, audio editting. If I hadn't got so so reliant on Cubase's compression modules I'd still be using it.

Try it. It rocks.

Cool idea!

My music is pretty influenced by Wildhearts (among others) and you can listen to some tracks on http://www.myspace.com/cetunes. (programmed drums and no bass).

I would love to be a part of this one way or another, if the time is right

And just so you can hear my voice, this is a finished version... but still unsatisfactory for me. It's close, but not quite what I want so it's gonna get a full rework eventually. Also, this is my favorite of all of the songs I've written.
If I Could Be Like Andy '06

I really liked that. Great stuff.

I fancy myself as a fairly decent bassist. I've had some fortune in and around Edinburgh doing what basically amounts to session work with bands in the local scene, but I've not got the time to hold a band together properly.

I too write and record, but purely to tape at the moment, and purely for fun because my songs end up as cack handed novelty fair with a fair bass groove. I've had no luck finding a decent recording software.

I think the sort of correspondence tribute album is a cracking idea.

I'd definately fancy participating but the means are more difficult for me than the method.

To be able to participate... all you should really need is your bass, an amp, a fairly decent microphone to point at your amp, an adapter to get the mic plugged into your PC, and a little bit of software that you and I can probably speak privately about.

In that case I'd love to be a part of this. I'm a little rusty but enthusiastic.

I'd quite like to do Shut Your Fucking Mouth And Use Your Fucking Brain but am open to suggestions?

Hehe anyone remember the Online Wildhearts tribute circa 2000? I did a rather terrible version of Give The Girl A Gun. Good fun though.

btw those of you who use Fl Studio (Fruityloops), anyone had any problems with streaming large audio clips? I was trying to remix a song my band recorded on my 24 track (actually we only used 12 tracks) and I get lots of buffer overruns resulting in seriously stuttery playback. Yet when I tried the same on N-Track demo version it was fine with even lower ASIO buffer settings.

Introducing: "29X The Shameless Ass-Kissery"

Here, I am doin' the channel bop.
With the people that life forgot.
And I never wanna stop.
You are the geordie in wonderland.
Do anything while you can.
It's only you and your TV tan.
And it's running through my veins.
And it's pounding in my brain.
Like twenty-nine times the pain.

And then bang! As the caffeine bomb goes off.
You've been making the hard way soft.
But the bullshit still goes on.
Can't do right for doing wrong.
But I'm still getting it right.
Nearly every single night.
So it's not been all in vain.
'Cause we all know your name.
But still, twenty-nine times the pain.


We're all so glad you came.


Talk to me, like you did in '93.
Come on make me feel like me, Liberty Cap or OCD.
Give me fast, give me slow, the sweetest songs I'll ever know.
'Cause we all wanna go... where the people go.

I'm up. How could I get down?
With that schizophonic sound?
And we all feel the same.
So don't ever fuckin' change.
Like twenty-nine times the pain

Through all the trends and all the games.
You stuck by us and stayed the same.
We hope you'll be back 'round again.

I only use fruity loops to put my drum tracks together. I use Adobe Auidtion for everything else. So FL is only dealing with a ton of tiny samples when I'm using it. Never had a problem.

Well, if no one else throws their name in the hat, I'll take at least one guitar track... though it's a riff I've never learned. I definitely can't do the vocals though.... I'm not good at the harsh stuff. In fact, I wish Ginger would explain the trick to the screaming that he does so much of lately.

I should be good for a drum track too, if need be.

Yeah it's seems fine with samples and virtual synths. Just lousy disk usage I guess which is a shame 'cause I really like everything else about it. Still I've managed to produce 1 tune in 2 years with so that's only, er, $149 per tune! Suddenly the £650 I spent on a 24 track seems like a bargain!

[Cwej]

i'll sing as much as you want me to ( and more )

i'd especially like to do a clean vocal on some endless nameless era stuff

Hello........My band The Barefoot Experience, play around with Jonesing For Jones.......we'd luv to submit our version.

Then do it. "Homegrown", in this case, means for the most part just regular folks like you and me putting it together... but if Green Day or Backyard Babies decided to jump in as well, I would have no complaints.

As for me, I'm gonna start getting to work on putting one together on my own until some people start chiming in about collaborating.

Maybe once we've got a good sized pile of songs going, we can get a poll going or something to decide which ones are good enough to make the cut.

Great. We've just started recording an album 3 weeks ago at our bassist's house which we've been slowly turning into a studio for the past year. If we can finalise our version hopefully we can started recording 'Jonesing....' in the next week.

Sounds good. Keep us posted.

I look forward to hearing it. It sounds like you'll have yours ready before I'll have mine. I had been just kind of assuming I was gonna go with I Wanna Go Where The People Go... but suddenly Nurse Maximum is playing loud in my head... hmmm... I just don't know. I'm a kid in a candy store.

I hear ya!

I was scrolling through my WHs collection yesterday to see if there was any other possibilties and a few were starting to jump out at me. Gotta stay focused!!!!!

My band is recording a demo in about 2 weeks and we're currently deliberating over which one of the three covers we mess around with will get on the CD. It's between Pump It up, Anthem and Friend For Five Minutes. I'm personally directed more to Anthem or FFFM.
