Taking Requests
Ok, so when we spoke last, I was talking about this “Magic Mountain EP” idea of mine.
Right! That five-song, online-only recording I wrote about yesterday. The one Chris Abad and I are going to knock out this weekend somewhere between snowboarding and beer pong. Yeeeaaah! That one.
So lemme’ restate the premise: I need you to pick one song for us. Just one. As in, the same number of suggestions I’ve received in the last 24 hours. (And a fine suggestion it was, Stephanie. Thank you very much.)
I know I write a lot about work and life and love and marriage, but you do remember that I write, record and perform music, right? Maybe your memory needs refreshing.
You can click on that iTunes link up there on the right. Or click on the word Buy. There are twelve records worth of songs to chose from. Heck, go crazy. Browse my MP3s over there in the tag cloud. Or surprise me with something random!
I mean, in seven years of blogging, and twenty years of performing, when have I ever asked for requests?
Whaddya’ wanna’ hear Chris and me record live?
Sorry, no Throbbing Gristle, Alex.

How about, “(I Won’t Let You) Get Away From Me”? Needed a Chris Abad solo anyways, right?

RESPECT THROBBING GRISTLE, YOU JANGLE-HAPPY PHILISTINE!
Actually, I think a Ben Wagner-fied cover of TG’s Discpline would be really….ummm….interesting.

How about a little cross-pollination synchronicity (those are the correct buzzwords, right?) between your life projects . . .?
My request: your own take on “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”

Jackie Chan!!!! (Please consult your attorney first)

1. “I saw a girl on the subway…” 2. Elvis Said or 3. something from Legends of the Evening Star. As your attorney, I vote Jackie Chan too.

Someday Some Morning Sometime or Less than you Need

Just one? OK, Debris gets my vote!

You have my first choice. I think my second would be the one that goes “Heavens not so far from Oklahoma…..”
Im brain dead after a 24 hr Las Vegas Road trip so that’s all I’ve got. Tomorrow, I’ll think more clearly and be more specific…

I like your take on “California Stars”.

Of course you can never go wrong with Intent on St. Paul or California. Two of my favorites. Or throw in a Nada’s cover? I think Walk Away acoustic would be pretty cool.

I have to agree with Andy, Intent on St Paul – one of my favorites.

Also I love Intent on St Paul

На громких заголовках и шумихе можно делать и не такие успехи :)
