    What I did today (or Maybe I Should Have Gotten Drunk)

    Ok... this is a shameless, self-congratulatory thread, but I thought y'all might like this... I had the day off work, so I spent the last 12 hours or so creating this:

    Thought y'all might enjoy and recognize the song.

    I've got an early day tomorrow and it's now solidly after midnight, so I'm going to PAY for this about as much as if I went out drinking tonight. Oh well... I hope it was worth it.

    Thanks, steven.

    There's a phenomena that recording studios call "listener's fatigue." It's easy to think you've got a good sound going, but only to realize that it's not what you wanted after you step away for a while. That's sorta what happened here. This morning, I listened to it again and heard some mixing issues.... too quiet of vocals, guitars sorta all over the place.

    I'll try uploading a better version tonight.

    Ok... I just remixed it a bit... A bit more palatable now. Enjoy!

    I made another (final) remix, and got my aunt to sing on it:

    Also, I just posted up a version of a White Stripes song:

    The problem is that I'm a terrible guitarist. To get it to sound like it did took TONS of takes. It was alot of fun, but took quite a bit of patience.

    I was originally going to get a friend of mine to play on the song who's absolutely killer, but the f'er had to go off to Sweden on vacation. WTF?

    I suppose I could have waited, but then I'd be putting other projects that I'm working on now on hold. I'm not fond of doing that, either....
