Fuck yeah!

yeah, I'm pretty excited. it's such a brilliantly constructed record, that it's too overwhelming to do the thing song by song. I'm going to break it up into 44 one minute sections and just have people learn it one minute at a time. I've got a lot to get done in preparation for the first day of the project, but this seems like a manageable way to handle it.

it's called the Whitey album but it doens't have anything in common with the beatles record, sans the name.

That brings up an interesting idea for a various-artists type of album...they're all covering an album, doesn't matter which, but each artist has to cover one minute of the record. Doesn't allow for much in the way of tempo variation, but jeez, think of the possibilities!

wait until you see the audio player I designed for the submissions. it's even nuttier. it's going to basically be a time line of the album that will randomly select submissions in sequence to play the album from end to end. for example, two people could submit the same minute. it would just select one of the submissions to play when you go through it.


each pass through the album would be a different thing altogether.


like a giant tone quilt.

I call the intro of "he's misstra-know-it-all."

I will learn it on piano in order to do this.

Oh, ok, if someone gets there before me, fine, but I will try and do this.

Also, there was that German doom metal version of "Let it Be".

There was Clawhammer's version of 'Are We Not Men?'

Seems about as pointless as a tribute album to me, but oh well...

The "track by track" in the thread title suggests that Benny is referring the covering of another's Album for recorded purposes. Crap.

Though I might go see this in a live setting, depending upon the album and the band doing the covering.

I would go see Cheer-Accident do "You Smile, the Song Begins," for example. I wouldn't want to see Interpol do "Unknown Pleasures," however.

Not quite a track-by-track cover, but McLemore Avenue by Booker T and the MG's should be mentioned.
