Yeah, I gotta feed the Boys in a bit. they usually eat closer to the start of the Wiggle Room.

I don't think I ever knew it was "the force don't stop."

Mr Fab:

a Star Wars reference?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:08pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Mr Fab @7:07
I was wondering that, too. I never knew that was the line, either. But he does say that line pretty fast. (In the original.)
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:08pm

↳ Mr Fab @7:07
It's after Star Wars so it's likely.

HyperDose:

This is such a good cover
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:11pm
Austin Rich:

I was just thinking about the philosophy behind good covers last night. I think this one totally qualifies. One criteria I was thinking about is that covers shouldn't be "exact" covers, but should offer a little something new and specific, to make a cover worth it.

↳ Austin Rich @7:11
Like that scene in The Office where Kelly says "the parody is always derivative". Well said, Mr. Rich
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:13pm
Austin Rich:

↳ HyperDose @7:12
Parody is certainly a tough nut to crack. I have no advice there. In this case: I defer to Kelly.
Avatar 7:13pm
Mr Fab:

↳ Austin Rich @7:11
Oh yeah, or else what's the point?
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:13pm
Krys O.:

Some folks hear lyrics and others don't. I catch the lyrics unless they're mumbled and/or low in the mix.
Avatar 7:14pm
Mr Fab:

↳ Krys O. @7:13
I often do not catch lyrics. To me they're sounds.

But my wife is really good at it. She like translates songs for me, haha.

Feldy:

hey y'all
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:15pm
Austin Rich:

I was also thinking that the cover should sound a little like it fits in you band's canon. It's weird when, in the middle of the album, the band sort of shifts into covers-mode. It should sound like you mean it as much as all your other songs.
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:16pm
Krys O.:

My ex who is a talented musician was not one for hearing lyrics. He could figure out the chords in a flash though.
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:16pm
Krys O.:

This sounds like 79.5.

Austin Rich:

↳ Mr Fab @7:14
I think i don't notice lyrics until I really like a song.
Avatar 7:17pm
HyperDose:

↳ Austin Rich @7:13
I meant it's the same thought process. You don't want to create a carbon copy of a cover. You bring your own original flare to it

I see. For sure!

We can dance and tell jokes at the same time. Like those bits in the Muppet Show, when they would cut to all the dancers?

We can multi-task, I hope.

aw, thanks, HyperDosekins! I am packing for a road trip adventure, so that's fun! How is it in your realm?

I'm listening and dancing while I pack a suitcase and pause to chat every so often, I think I could add another task???

Austin Rich:

↳ Mr Fab @7:41
Yeah. I know what happened, but: damn. To fall so far.

Still: we got The Hard Times out of the deal. And they're still occasionally funny.
Avatar 7:48pm
Mr Fab:

↳ Austin Rich @7:47
I check the the Hard Times, it gets off a good one sometimes.

What DID happen to the Onion? All the writers got hired by TV comics or sumthin?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:50pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Mr Fab @7:48
Yeah. Better deals. Some started their own websites (like The Hard Times). But the name "The Onion" still had so much brand name recognition, so they launched that TV show, some podcasts, etc. Most of them were just uninspired. They should have just retired the paper, to do occasional "special commemorative issues" or something.
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:51pm
Krys O.:

I know two people who worked at the Onion. There was some toxic stuff at the helm, so to speak.

Hello DJ Shangri-La. Thanks for your latest show.
For lunch I'm having guinea fowl or, to be precise: cuisse de pintade, galette de pomme de terre et puree de celeri. Followed by flan patissier.
Haha, I'm in France for couple of weeks.
Report from home says washing machine working fine.
