Harmony ideas that came to me tonight, regarding my cover of Bargain.
This video is hideouslol,my voice is thrashed, it's been a long day and I'd practiced Bargain a million times but I like the ideas I'm coming up
with, and even now as I write this I have more ideas. Sooo many mistakes to this thing, things I'd remove and things I'd add.Actually, this may not be up for long.This isn't even the best I'd done but it's the most current of the versions. It's the unflattering creative process...
I'll probably pull a switcheroo tomorrow. :)

Heheh, 3 bucks at Walmart, not kidding! I just got it a couple weeks back, too. There were a whole bunch of these long night shirts on the clearance rack, all different ones, all for 3 bucks! I got a pink one with little white cats on it, too- Total score!
I had so much fun listening to you!
Its like seeing an old friend in the vox box playing 'Bargain!'
Happy Sunday,

Nabonidus,
Your voice sounds a little sore. Be careful with your vocal chords, you don't wanna do any damage! My recommendation is lots of tea, and making sure to be pushing from the diaphram, not the throat.
All you need now is a windmill and to jump around a bit... but that might be tough on your apartment... and your guitar if you "finish the number properly" so to speak.
I still HATE it when Pete smashes guitars. It's like watching someone shaking a baby or kicking a small dog. For God sakes, it's you INSTRUMENT, don' SMASH IT! Eeeep...
(I'm probably alone here in that sentiment. :p)

Hey, wonderful version!!!! Here you've got a translation of the song ABARAJAME:
Mi nombre e cool ero connor

(I don’t understand a word of what they are saying here)
Sorry, I didn't see your post before....I've done my best, but I don't understand some words as Spanish from Southamerica is a little bit different to the one in Spain...I guess they are talking about drugs......I hope it helps you to understand, :):):)
LOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG!!!WOW!!! LOLOL
Thanks Elena! It's still sooo funny, isn't it? So that part at the end IS nonsese? That's the thing, I'm not Spanish, but I live in San Diego, and the last part of that song is like, I think understand "Que Nada" In there, but he repeats ot over and over but that's about it.But it didn't sound quite right even to me!
Like they are doing whole new things with the Spanish language, lol and even I recognized it!and making thse kind of funny whistling noises, the song is just too funny, and the video was too! Thanks Elena, that's too funny! I do believe they are a positive band, the two guys. They used to appear on Latin American MTVall the time, and I liked one other some they had, " The Jaguar house"
You could see why I was curious as to what thye were singing eh?LOL
Ooops, I meant "One other song they"
had. The Jaguar house, I like that one too.It's more a regular melodic song.
And thanks, Jack for reminding me, I really do need to drink some tea, seriously -my throat is bothering me badly. Think I'll stick to working on leads for awhile :) xoxo
I agree with Jack.
I hate it when a perfectly good instrument is smashed. Thank goodness all that is over with!!
I agree with you and Jack, Sue,
I was just too poor all my life to have that luxury, and besides, they are beautiful instruments! :)
Hi Lisa-
I've been a bad blogger lately...but I'm back. I've missed your videos.
I REALLY would love to sing Bargain w/you one day. I have my own nifty version, and I must say, I quite like it.
I've been in the BLACKEST of moods lately too - I saw one of your posts that you were in a bad mood...so I think there's something funky going on in the stars or something!
I hope to join in on Molly's chat....but it's on at 3 am my time (I'm in Taipei now!). Weird thing is my bio clock is all messed up so I am usually up then anyway.
I read that you were being harrassed. I'm sorry to hear that. That really sucks. Glad to see you're still blogging though. You make me want to play my guitar!
Take care-
my e-mail is messed up, but you can e-mail me if you want. I just can't reply at the moment. It's driving me crazy...
Take care,
Sue
Hehe, on the guitars: actually most of the ones he smashed were very mediocre instruments. If he accidentally smashed a really good guitar, he was really upset. Plus he regularly put the guitars back together :-)
Have you ever considered covering the song Jet by Sir Paul? I think the planes on yer flight path would cue perfectly! *wink!*
Hi Suejoy! Nice to "see" you! And
SuperAmanda, too! I missed S.A. in here!
Um,well, I actually wasn't invited to the chat you mention, lol. Sorry. :)
Don't know what's going on, why not, what happened,I missed something here.
Oh well, LOL It's ok. Have fun you guys. :)
And Maria, I'm glad to hear that about Pete's guitars, that's interesting!
Makes a lot more sense to me afa his personality, it didn't seem to jive with the guitar smashing. :)
And Tich! Good idea!Damned planes be gettin'to me! heheh...xoxoxoxo
sounds a little ghost-like...took me a sec to figure out you had lay over vocals (you x's two, no?). I'd come at this grand love song, personally, after having danced around and swung my arms and punched the air. That's just my approach. I LOVE this song. Next to Who Are You (each faves). The lyrics are astounding.
nice to hear/see you!
-g+bb
Oh, one more thing about the guitars: it wasn't so much (or entirely) expression of rage but an art school concept, auto-destructive art, symbolically destroying the remains of his bourgeois childhood longing, or the instrument of the capitalist production, or something along those lines. He was both a definite art school student and very political at around 20, hehehe.
Hey, and let's not forget how f*cking Punk Rock that was before those little snots the Sex Pistols had ever heard of safety pins! LOL
I loved the SP, BTW. No offense to the SP.lol But Pete invented Punk with that action.
Yeah, I love the SP too, but they were harmless compared to The Who! Btw, speaking of punk rock, there's one recording I'd LOVE to get my hands on: once in 1981, Pete got on stage at a Clash gig and reportedly threw himself into the songs with complete abandon. He is supposed to have played on a few songs. Well, ok, The Clash weren't punk rock in 1981, if punk rock is defined in the ca. 1976 way, but still. Alas, I did some digging and apparently no recording has ever surfaced :/ But man, to see The Clash and Pete on stage at the same time...
Hi Lisa,
I'm glad you liked it, I'm re-reading it and still don't know what they mean....The last part doesn't make sense AT ALL!!! I can't understand a word, ha,ha...
I'll try to translate for you "The Jaguar House" tomorrow, he,he
Pete smashing guitars??? It's the sounds of war, chaos and frustration...I don't know where I read it...
I have to say that I don't like instruments to be smashed, of course, but Pete gets all my attention while smashing it, though it shouldn't be like that.....well, think of Jimmy Hendrix, I have seen him burning his guitars...
You have me singing harmony with you!
