After the success of our 50-song Beatles cover album, it is time to offically begin the Bowie project.

Beatles album can be found here:
>https://hangingdong.bandcamp.com/album/covers-the-beatles
>https://mega.nz/#!ilcBALAS!uuHiWZe9pcZhgEu2E1Z3nhX4fkhYxJfAMvfOaxCAczE

>IMPORTANT
After the clusterfuck that was the Beatles album, we are going to be using a different claiming method this time. Pick a song that you want to cover from the list below, and email me at [email protected] with a rough timescale for when you will be able to finish it. If you simply claim a song in the thread but don't email, it will be ignored. This is because dozens of people drifted into the Beatles claiming thread, claimed a song, and then vanished forever. When songs are finished, they should be sent via email, not posted in the thread. This keeps an element of mystery about the final product.

Submission rules can be found in the first reply

Rules for submissions:

>IF YOU CAN'T SING, ASK SOMEONE ELSE IN THE THREAD TO! Really want to push for strong vocals throughout on this project, so don't feel like you have to sing on your track if you don't feel comfortable doing so. There are plenty of good singers on this board who can help you out.

>This is a fairly serious project, and there will be quality control. Harsh noise won't be accepted, because fuck that shit. Please don't make your covers memey, I know there were a few on the Beatles one like that but I want this one to be a bit more serious.

>Poor audio quality will be rejected. By that I mean something like heavy background fuzz, don't worry if your recording equipment is not professional standard. Just listen to the Beatles album for acceptable sound quality.
>Don't send me guerilla mail. I prefer if submissions are wav files but I don't mind converting them myself.

>It has to be an actual cover of the song, not just you saying "We can be heroes" into the mic once and then playing unrelated music you wrote yourself for 5 minutes. Reinterpretations are very welcome though, see Day Tripper or Paperback Writer from the Beatles album as examples.

>Collabs are also welcome, if you need someone to play bass or drums or whatever for you, just ask in the thread. People collaborated numerous times on the last album to great success.

Yo, Teenage Wildlife guy here.
You replied to my request to include the song with "all yours senpai", does that mean I've already got dibs on the song?

If so, what would be the longest you'd be willing to wait on it?

I'll consider them if you email me your suggestion, no guarantees though. This list was compiled using the suggestions of quite a lot of anons in previous threads already, and there are only a few I'm willing to replace

Quite a few anons did more than one song for the Beatles cover album and that is allowed again this time, but I think we should stick to claiming one song at a time so that people don't just claim all the good ones at once. Once you submit one you're free to claim another

Very good lad. I'm knocking around a few ideas for album art, this is a definite contender. Will definitely include it in the download or as the EP art or something at the very least

>>71311250
True, there are underrated songs from the 90s, but they still don't match his 70s work for me. Remember I based the track list off dozens of suggestions I got from emails too. If people want to suggest 90s songs I'm not opposed to fitting them in but I can't guarantee it either

>>71311233
One of his greatest ever songs for sure. Whoever claims it, please be really really fucking good. Or I'll be very disappointed. Same applies to Station To Station, my favourite Bowie song
>>
>claim album closer
>start feeling the pressure
>>
>>71311710
I'm toying with the idea of rearranging the song order based on how the submissions sound, to try and get a better flow. Might put Lazarus last anyway for symbolic purposes but it's not definite
>>

laughing gnome should be the closer, obviously

I don't think so mate, it was off, I feel like it doesn't belong in the album, it doesn't feel like help, its alien to anything in the album, I just hope there will not be tracks like that in this album.

Help is a good track but didn't really sound like it came from the album, while almost everyone tried to do a Lo-Fi Indie cover, the dude behind it tried to do some kind of Power Noise thing, overall the result was pretty solid even if it didn't fit

No time limit. The Beatles album took a month and a half, and although I'd like this to be a lot quicker, there is no set deadline or anything. As long as you let me know a rough date you can get it done by over email when you claim a song, I don't mind.

USSR dude here. After only handing the cover in the night before the deadline,I was never really happy with the unfinished nature of the track, so I decided to go back in and see if I could get it to sound a bit more like my original concept.
I tried to make it a little less sterile, and a little more gritty.
What do you reckon, better, worse, same?

Damn, I wish I had better production skills (still learning the basics), I would have participating in this project.

How long do we have to complete it? What happens if the cover is dogshit?
>>
>>71316983
No deadline really, this will take a few weeks to complete for sure. If it's shite I'll reject it, simple as. Very few fall under the definition of shite for me though, I accepted almost every song sent to me for the Beatles album, and that was 50 songs. Regardless of how creative or interesting the cover is I will instantly reject awful sound quality.

I don't think the sound quality of my stuff is awful, just probably awkwardly mixed. I'll make my sound engineer friend check it before completion.

Makes sense to have some sort of structure going into it. Then it has more of a balanced representation of his discography. Who's to say if we did at as you suggest we won't just get all of Ziggy, all of Low, and nothing else?

hey guys, /beatlesfag/ here ,very good luck on the project unfortunately I'm gonna skip that one. I'm not familiar enough with David Bowie's discography. Definitely gonna listen to the finish project though.

I would really,really like to cover Girl Loves Me. Is that okay, even though it isn't on this list?

Can't hurt. If anything it might end up on an anthology after the album comes out and hell, if its good enough maybe Dong will include it in the album anyway.

To the guy who claimed heroes, any chance of making it into a /mu/ sings track like Don't Let Me Down on the last album?

>>
>>71333069
I'm am so confused about why there is a pre-approved list at all. Why do people simply not pick whatever song they want? There should also be some duplicates as long as there's some coordination and review. If they're needlessly duplicated then one will be discarded. However it could very easily provided some interesting contrast.
>>

You're a dumb cunt.
If you're so confused about not including duplicates of the same song on a single album go drink a tall glass of bleach.

You'd have to have your head shoves so far up your fat ass that you could smell your own fucking breath if you think even a third of this album is going to be "worthwhile" let alone worth having the same fucking song multiple times on the same fucking album.

alright i'm tired with a dry throat and felt like singing the ONCE THERE WERE MOUNTAINS bit of station to station. i probably butchered it, i know i stumbled over the words at "making sure white stains" but at least i'm solid on lyrics. i can do a better vocal line if you're interested; don't really care if you want me on vocals though just wanted to get my fucking hardon for the song out there before going to bed.

Do a /mu/ covers The Residents album. It doesn't have to be the exact next one, just do it at any time. I think we could get really interesting with that one

Booooooo
>>
>>71334840
To try and give some kind of balance across his best period (70s) rather than just have all the Ziggy and Low songs, because thats all people would send in. We can cover each of his different styles and eras this way. Worked well for the Beatles one.
>>
>>71334915
I would only be ok with this if I could cover Man in the Dark Sedan.

Suck a fucking dick you tasteless faggot.
Helter Skelter and Daytripper were dog shit.
>>
>>71337459
Daytripper was fucking awesome nigger, Help sucked dick, also IN MY FUCKING OPINION YOU FUCKING FAGGOT.
Help felt off, it was like listening to something else, it wasn't a coveror interpretation, it was bad, I don't feel better and I won't feel better saying it was good, because it wasn't, I just think it wasn't help, any other song you listen on the album feels like a cover of the fuckkng song, that wasn't a cover, it was just noise, it was a fucking monstruositu that maybe it coul pass as a original song but it wasn't a Fucking cover and IT WAS A FUCKING COVER ALBUM YOU DEAF AND INBREED SHIT.
>>
>>71337557
Fuck you, faggot. Clipping the audio doesn't magically change it from being fucking garbage.

I don't think anyone's claimed Slow Burn. Would /mu/ be okay with a purely acoustic version of it? If so I'll try it.

Also, I never said Help wasn't also shit, you fucking retard.
Help, Helter Skelter and Daytripper all sucked ass.

But it was good dude, at least talking about daytripper, but whatevs yo, i know the style won't be great for everyone, for example I really liked I Feel Fine for its shoegazie sound but I know not everyone like it, btw how do you feel about that track?, it was something different from the other covers heard before it, i think it needed a different mixing but was good for me. I'm just saying that the only track that felt off was Help the other ones were good but different.
>>
>>71337650
I honestly think this would be a nice cover art, I really enjoyed the Beatles album and I know a lot of more people would but the cover scare people away.

>Listening to Beatles album after seeing these shitposts for a while

Holy shit this is unironically fantastic. Mad props. I have negligible talent and my only contribution to /mu/ is a Dicklick Brigade song recorded about 2 years ago made with Audacity and Microsoft Sam so I think this album is looking for a bit higher quality than I can provide. Godspeed retards.
>>
>>71337712
>I really liked I Feel Fine for its shoegazie sound but I know not everyone like it, btw how do you feel about that track?
I thought it was great. I think the vocals could've used some more work, maybe a bit of reverb to better blend in with the guitar, but other than that it was great.
>>
>>71337712
>>71337854
Thanks mates, i did that song and i know the vocals arent great i actually have remiexd it since and added some reverb to the vocals and some overdrive to blend better, but i i knew it needed some more work. I feel great that somebody liked my interpretetion, love you anon.

>>71338028
Reply all you fucking want, you earned it bucko. Sgt Pepper's is easily my favorite Beatles album and one of my all time favorites, and I expected shit from this on the level of Dicklick Brigade efforts (no offense fellow Dicklick contributors), but Sgt. Peppers/Help From My Friends blew my ass away. You did a fantastic job and should honestly be proud of yourself. Those two and Hey Jude's Fisher Price "Komm Susser Todd" comfy hazey feel are the reason I downloaded the album.

Whoever's doing Strangers When We Meet on this album, knock it out of the park. If you take all the segues away, Outside is such a fantastic album, and that closer is so good and powerful.

Speaking of Texas did you like the closer Get Back? He's from here although I never found out what city. He also did Rocky Raccoon which a lot more people seem to prefer and although its good I'm convinced we have a lot of international listeners who are amused by the novelty of what seems to me as a normal accent.
