Hi guys, I hope all is well. Everyone maskless now?

I recorded a They Might Be Giants song on my phone this afternoon. This is take 2.

As I'm posting this, I'm listening to TheBuddha covering the Eagles. Holy shit, dude. Awesome vox!

Thanks, Crazy. It's a funny song. I heard it's based on a true story. One of their liberal nut-job media friends had a real-life liberal nut-job stalker.

Listening now...

I haven't heard that song in ages. Nice!

And, thanks for the compliment. I don't share my vocals all that often, but that's mostly 'cause I only sing when rehearsing or performing. Well, I mostly only sing at those times.

Hey! It's time for another FNGT! Like normal, I'll go ahead and get you started.

We weren't here last week. We won't be here next week. (Take note of that.) So, how about a little something from where we were last week? This track was recorded on a cell phone that was pretty much sitting on top of one of the stacks, so it's not that great and there's way too much bass. Still, it's new and unusual.

That's from the encore. You can hear Biff both playing and singing along with the ladies doing backup vocals.

Rock on, bears! Rock on!

Hello. Earlier this week Chris came over and we were trying to learn a song I like and it was taking a long time. There was a woman here watching us play and she requested that we play What's Going On by 4 Non Blondes, and I told her we would learn that and play it when we were done with the one we were working on.

Anyways, she had to leave to take her daughter somewhere and we didn't get a chance to play that song for her.

When we finally got done with the song that I like Chris said let's try that one that the woman had requested, so I say ok, and he says look up the words on the laptop, and I type 'whatsxz goin down lyrics' or something like that into the keyboard fat fingering it and the screen shows the lyrics for I'm going down. I'm trying to figure out why I don't have the right words when Chris starts to sing

What's Up, by the 4 Non-Blondes is like 4 chords, if you do decide to learn it. G C Am D, I think... I'd have to pick up a guitar to be sure, my memory will kick in if I do.

Yeah, that's what it sounded like. I was just making sure you knew. It's an easy song to play.

There's several songs called "(I'm) Going Down". I like the one by The Jeff Beck group myself.

The alternating lyrics are interesting and makes this one different, and cool.

I listened to the Jeff Beck version this afternoon here thanks to you sharing it. I thought it was funny that it's the same name as what I was planning on sharing!

Wow ok, nice vocals. I'm late to the party, just checking out FNGT website. I've been playing for decades but finally buckled down a few years ago to learn my scales, modes etc. How do you guys mix your tracks?

We normally just use Audacity, surprisingly. It works well for our needs. This is just a cell phone recording from a live performance. The phone was sitting on a box that was on top of one of the stacks, so it's not a very good recording.
