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.

Wew a lot of songs taken already

I'm saying The Lauging Gnome

>>71353478
This, but only because it's the best Bowie song and people are too intimidated to attempt it

opinions on this so far?

I would cover Let's Dance or China Girl if they were listed.

Those harmonies would be hard.
Not liking this hole "more serious" tone. The Beatles covers serious tone was natural man, don't force it, is still 4chan.

SONGS LEFT TO CLAIM:

The Laughing Gnome
The Width Of A Circle
The Bewlay Brothers
Aladdin Sane
Drive-In Saturday
Sweet Thing suite
Win
Beauty And The Beast
The Secret Life Of Arabia
Strangers When We Meet
Slow Burn

Inevitably I'm sure a few people won't deliver, it usually happens with a handful, so keep an eye out for any which become reavailable over the next few days. Also props to the guy who sent me his Moonage Daydream progress, sounds awesome.

>>71355358
The Beatles was itself a pretty serious album anyway though, besides the artwork and Revolution 9. Considerably more serious than most /mu/ albums, that is.

You removed a song from the tracklist Dong
Put it back there

>>71355358
Oh I think I misread your post. Either way I don't think we're taking it too seriously, we're just after a high quality of music if possible. Plenty of time for memeing around in the threads/stream

ITS SAFE IN THE CITY

>>71355623

fun fact, i sing that verse as a vocal exercise

>>71355895
His vocal range is pretty insane on that, I think I read it's something like the second-lowest note he ever sang at on record and then seconds later one of the highest. Pretty sure he wrote that verse with the sole intention of showing off, but it's great so who cares

>>71356422
don't be unfair - the range of the singing serves as a setting to the narrative

>>71355623

>>71355374
REEEEEEE WHY ISNT SHE ME GF

Who is skilled enough on /mu/ for the Aladdin sane piano solo?

Reminder that the Beatles album is overrated trash

>>71353112
Okay guys I'm the anon that's doing Rebel Rebel. Now do you know the mexican sounding melody sung before the verses in the U.S. radio version? Kinda goes La la la la la la la la la? I feel like using that vocal melody only before the second verse, but I want to know what you guys think first- I know that version of the song is shit, and I'm afraid people would be like "Eww, that's from THAT version of the song." Wat do?

>>71356939
reminder that you're a cuck

>>71356952
You are thinking too much into it

>>71356952
Just go with whatever you think sounds good anon

What 'Beatles album' you fucking sperg?

>>71357576
I may not be able to sing but you can't even read it seems

>>71357733
you're a fucking idiot. The Beatles album is even mentioned in the OP, you 'fucking sperg'

>>71357733
>this new

>>71357789
No I realize it's been claimed, but I'm far better than whoever is covering it now. They should give it to me and pick another song.

>Reminder that the Beatles album is overrated trash
Show me where this poorly constructed sentence mentions anything about the /mu/ Beatles cover album, you smelly little cocksuckers.

>>71357916
Was pretty clearly implied desu plus people had been discussing it already itt

>They should give it to me and pick another song

Such an asshole to whoever claimed it.
How about you learn to wait and maybe ask to collaborate, instead?

>>71357859
Cringe

>>71358384
This is America. The best person for the job should get it. I am better than whoever got the song, so they should do the right thing and hand it over.

>>71358447
British project actually. If you wanna get technical.

ftfy

>>71360552
how does one get a hold of her, I liked her stuff

>>71353592
is that the bassline you're going with?

The original bassline is what makes the song work and gives it it's drive/groove imo

>>71360579
She is such a literal goddess.

Can you write people on here? I don't see a thing.

Oh ok it has a place for comments on each song's separate page
