SP cover song contest thingy... maybe? Eh?
So, I had an idea which I'll probably hate by tomorrow, but...
It might be fun to do an SP board cover song contest, yes? Basically, in this hypothetical scenario, we'd pick a song (how is TBD) and all participants would record a cover of it, then post 'em and have a poll. The winner would, um, win. ![]() All the songs would be kept low quality/bedroom-ish, so as to put everyone on an even playing field (and to not, you know, take it way too seriously). I'm thinking 2-4 tracks max (including vocals... though vocals wouldn't be required, of course) so no one's expected to spend too much time on them (ie: if you wish, you can spend 5 minutes strumming and singing and be done). No more than 5 minutes each. Songs would be posted anonymously. Would just be one go (if it's heaps of fun maybe we could do one every month or so, but we'll see) and not a tournament like the MTIC. Etc... Would anyone be interested? I imagine to make it interesting but not too time consuming there should be 4-6 contestants. And ideally that again in people just willing to listen and vote (so we have at least about 10 people total listening and voting, but obv the more the merrier). Likewise, shouldn't be more than 20-30 minutes worth of music. So, would anyone be up for it? I'm just curious to see interest. Even if there is, there's no guarantees I'll make this happen.

Id be interested in hearing them. I lack musical talent and musical instruments, so I would only be an observer.

I like the idea of having them be anonymous and letting us vote without knowing who is who. Would love to participate on the voting/discussion side.

I'd be interested twofold, but would need a bit of time to put something together.

I'd be down for it.
I definitely think that it could be fun and cover songs have certainly been talked about on this board a good deal.

Hm. Weekends are slow, so I'm gonna let this sit through Monday. Seems promising, though.
As for anonymity: my original idea was to announce the name of the winner (and leave it up to everyone else to come forward), but I guess that'll be optional as the anonymity seems a main selling point. Likewise, I'd probably post an e-mail address to send songs to if you don't even want me to know. Song selection: Anyone have any ideas? Seems it should be something loved by all, ie: a safe fan favorite (coz obviously not many people would be interested in covering Apathy's Last Kiss). Should also be fairly easy to play (so beginners aren't scared off by it) and easily adaptable (acoustic or electric guitar, piano, etc...). Songs that immediately came to mind: Mayonaise, Soma, Muzzle, Behold! the Night Mare, Let Me Give the World to You, etc... But really, I'm open to anything.

Perhaps you could choose a couple of songs to have people choose 1 of? That way, nobody has to do a song they might not care for?

The idea was for everyone to do the same song, that way it's about the performance and not the song choice. But... meh. Doesn't matter. I don't see any reason why people can't just choose for themselves. Saves the hassle of picking a song. So,

i liked the idea of one song for everyone, that way it would be easier to keep it going if everyone likes doing it.
maybe a vote for what song to use (and if a song doesn't get enough votes, however decided, then we put different songs in the poll to vote on)? or have a random poster be the picker/judge/host of the songs for that month?

I'm sure you want to stick your dick into Mouths Of Babes, but will probably stick it into a Spaceboy.

I can only play guitar, and my vocals are terrible...but I'd be willing to try a song or two.

I would also enjoy doing this! Count me in, bros. I agree that the idea of picking one song for all is more interesting.

might just be me, but i feel like you should stay away from the more overtly heart-on-the-table songs so it's not so melodramatic a listening/covering experience
stuff like Muzzle, Crush, I of the Mourning, Pistol Pete etc. are what i'd consider good choices for this

Soma is actually really easy. Obviously the recording is embellished a lot, but the core song is very simple (the first half is only 3 chords on repeat... after that, power chords which can be swapped out for mostly open position chords). B!tNM is easy, too (mostly variations of D) and Muzzle is really just standard open position chords, etc... Again, they can be embellished, but just playing the chord progression is super easy. Most are easier than Disarm, imo, and certainly easier than Perfect.
And yeah, the anonymity was initially just to not influence anyone while voting. But it seems that's a big selling point with many, so I'll probably leave it anonymous throughout and people can come forward at will. I was thinking Soma would be good (really easy), but maybe something less ![]()
