Good question. Perhaps we do it CDr format

Good question. Perhaps we do it CDr format

Maybe from here on it, we figure out who is going to pay for this cd.  Then, we send in our covers anomalously to that person.  When everything is in, there's a vote, here on the board. 

       A cd holds 80 minutes, so it will still get a lot of people on there.  Those who don't make it, go to the website.  Might be more trouble than it's worth, but it's an idea.

And a damn good idea at that. Conda has my vote for spearheading the project.

I'm available for helping on this.  I know of a company here in Portland that I can go through, so that's an option.  I'll help however needed.

I up for helping in whatever way i can.

Maybe we could have the tracks as downloads from a website (as already mentioned by others) and the art as a pdf file or something. Just a thought.

Oh, and i'm now thinking that i might cover "Dead Wipe". I'm on holidays for two weeks at the end of next week so i'll hopefully get it all done during that time.

Like this?

Sometimes they had multiple contributions to the artwork which I felt was nice because they kept them all.

[anaconda]

That's exactly it!! We provide a cover download and the songs, then people can rip their own CD.
It's not as collectable as a short-run, but it would get the job done in a cost-effective manner.

i like this idea for i am a broke man.

i also wanted to cover dead wipe at some point

[jgarver]

After a small delay due to jingle bells, I got some over-nighted, and finally finished "Toy."

[mckickflip]

i'd love to do something - i'll try to do Judy. seee what i can come up with.

edit: i actually ended up doing Gluey Porch Treatments. it doesn't sound a whole lot like the original and it's kinda noisy, but I did it if you still want it :p

edit 2: disregard that. i'll try making a real version sometime, but this mix sounds horrenous.

[Clint Flick]

Hmmm...

Yeah, forgot all about this one.

I'll get on it this week and let you know when I finish something. Choice of Melvins tune subject to change w/o notice.

Last time this idea was bantered around...I got a SF Bay Area metal band called Blitzenhamer to cover Revolve/Shitstorm. I recorded/engineered it.

And it's great.

My son for some reason does not want to sing.

I wonder if Buzz ever had this problem.

I am going to ask Bad Ronald to sing Queen.

My brother is going to do Black Bock off of Stag.

If someone has some mentorship skills PM me. This is where the mentorship needs to be applied: he has his own music, expresses how it need to be accomplished, wants to sing the lyric himself, but will not do it.
