covers competition #1
Dave Franusich, Andy Chadwick and myself, the members of the seminal Upper St. Clair indie folk band Where’s Luke? have started a new competition. It’s called the covers competition. It is a weekly competition and this week is the first week.
The idea of the project is this:
- Andy, Dave or I are the lead for the week. The lead picks the song to be covered. He posts the original. The song will be announced each Tuesday and linked here.
- We* each do cover versions of this song by the following Monday and post them online as mp3s.
- You, the readership, listens and votes (either by email or on another webpage with little buttons). Voting categories will probably be Best and Most Original.
- Lead rotates to the next person and he picks a new song.
*I’m thinking about opening up submissions to any one that wants to do a version…The lead would still be one of us three, though.
This week’s song has been picked.
Covers Contest #1
Song: “Neverending Math Equation”
Original Artist: Modest Mouse.
Dave already has his version done (that’s actually what sort of sparked the idea). Usually the versions will be posted simultaneously.

That mp3 came from vinyl!

Sorry Andy. Dave posted it…My computer is in the shop, so I don’t have access to such resources to post an mp3.
It’s for evaluatory purposes only, though, so it should be good enough, no?

Gah, you post the original after I payed $0.99 for my iTunes DRM’d copy, which although I chose the album version is actually the live version

I wasn’t really insinuating that it was inferior for coming from vinyl. The levels are pretty bad, but otherwise, it’s a fine recording.
