Recording Challenge #12: Nevermind

[Bubba]

I don't understand the hate for this record or this band at all. Nor do I understand the lack of empathy for deeply destructive mental illness. It's clearly a fucking great record by any standards. Anyway, I shall get on with it when I've finished my garden and house chores.

[vomitHatSteve]

@vomitHatSteve you've actually missed Polly out of your track list.

Whoops! Thank. Cut paste error

[breed] will sound great with your crazy guitar bass sound

Yeah! It's shaping up really nicely

Nice choice! When I mentioned this project, that was the one my keyboardist recommended.

I get why old hair metal guys hate it. This album was pitched as the death of that genre. If, say, a rap album in 2005 was ubiquitously described as the one that killed alt rock, it would have taken me a long time to give it a fair shake.
But yeah, this is an impressive album. Just so many excellent choices and a surprisingly limited number of tools used to accomplish them.

Yeah, its a fucking masterpiece.

[Greg_L]

Yeah the football team loved it.

yeah .. having listened to it a bit for this challenge I'm gonna say no, it's not.
It's aight .... that's about it

But we have a chance to make it what it should have been!

lol

lol

Yes! Finally, Nevermind will be fixed and become what it was truly meant to be

[Lt. Bob]

OK, ....... I'm committing to 'In Bloom' .......... skimmed thru all the songs not claimed and that seemed most interesting to me.

I gotta say I could see having some of this on as background music .... it's basically Pink Floyd drone done with sloppy guitars.

And I say 'sloppy guitars' as a style description rather than an insult .... I like sloppy .... I also like technical precision but I do like sloppy ..... it's more human.
This stuff would be very Pink Floydy if you replaced the gits with keyboards.

And man, they really relied on that I down to a VI a lot. Sometimes up to a VI though so that was different ........

That's what I'm saying! lol ...

... it's basically Pink Floyd drone done with sloppy guitars.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious if I don't listen to it directly.

I enjoyed trawling through the album but there're a couple of songs that I don't click with.
The folk that, likely, bought me the album were into Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, Smashing pumpkins, You Am I etc so were pretty diverse and not locked not grunge at all.

[Armistice]

Not playing this time gents as my studio time currently is being curtailed by a serious of unfortunate events. It'd be weeks before I got to it.

I remember somewhere else here saying I was in a covers band and I sang 3 songs out of the entire repertoire - Get Off Of My Cloud, Guydbuy to Jane, and I couldn't remember what the third one was...

I remembered the other day. It was, of course...

Smells. Like. Teen. Spirit.

Who's doing that?

[vomitHatSteve]

Smells. Like. Teen. Spirit.

Who's doing that?

I considered it. I know it pretty well since my 90s band obviously plays it. But is just seemed so obvious!

[rayc]

DONE:
I used BIAB for the bits I can't do ... as usual...
TERRITORIAL PISSTAKING

Territorial Pisstake.mp3

I took my lead from Something In The Way & Lt. Bob's observations.
I found the simplest chords online: F# D B with an "interlude" of A
I changed the "chorus" to F#m D Bm to stay awake.
BIAB organ, drums, lead and cello.
I did the bass, arp guitars, FX guitars, trem guitar, odd bits of guitar and choakals.
I tracked a lot more than that but razored away to just a few parts.
Oh, I did Soft Loud by way of arrangement rather than level.
Does it go here or is there a separate space for the results?

Come on, armi. Do an acoustic version of On A Plain or something.

I've got my drums programmed for my song this morning I'll try and finish it later in the week.

Good Lord!!

I won't even have listened to 'In Bloom' enough to even have any ideas until a week or so .... that's fast work man!

I'll listen later ..... gotta start figuring out who can replace my roof.

Dang! That was fast. Nice work.

I think we're just posting them all here, then maybe we'll compile them somewhere easier to access? All the other challenges have largely just been posted between this subforum an LHaL.

[Tadpui]

Dang @rayc that was fast! I have a vague concept for mine but it's going to take some practice to be able to even get it "close enough for rock and roll". I'll have a listen to yours later when I'm in front of my studio computer.

[Armistice]

"Dang"?

This is a word I've not heard or seen in use for a very long time outside of this BBS...

It's a non-sweary way to say "damn" isn't it?

[Armistice]

Come on, armi. Do an acoustic version of On A Plain or something.

Trust me, doing anything with an acoustic guitar is in no way easier for me.

Let me have a listen to On A Plain. Nothing I can do until next week, however.

[rayc]

You have to remember that I'm not just old but also retired. I can fill my day in many ways after the basic chores are done. Yesterday was No yard work, no walks but upstairs house work and then Pissing.
I think I managed to do almost exactly what Kurt wouldn't have wanted done.

[WhiskeyJack]

I have the best idea for Come as You Are, but.

You all know the timelines i work with in so, if in the event that slot is available come the fall / winter I'll take it. If not i look forward to how this all turns out!

Great Job ray! Stray as far you can from the foundation. I love it!

I think greg refused even the Killing Joke version of it, so it's definitely still available.
