Hey, that was damned good Celaeno. You should rerecord it later, louder. You have a clean tone.

Well, I just ordered a new mic (same kind I had before, I liked it) from Amazon. I had a $10 gift certificate so it only cost me $1.50. But it won't be here for a little while.
Dumb cat.
Unless it was the toddler pulling on it that broke it, in which case I apologize to the cat.
I did register, though, and am practicing. As soon as I get my new mic I'll post. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Celaeno, the juxtaposition of your photo with the blurb under it is hilarious. I can't listen to stuff on the site from work, but I'm looking forward to hearing everybody's stuff (because by the time I get home there will be loads of submissions, of course) tonight.

I think he's afraid if he posts his, everyone else is going to be too intimidated to try it themselves. Posts: 866 | Registered: Aug 2005

I'm totally interested, and plan on submitting.
But there is no force on earth that will get me to submit anything while anyone else is in the house, including my dog, who is the family's loudest critic.
Annie, there IS some Shakira on there, I saw it yesterday when I was browsing. The only song they have is "Underneath Your Clothes."
Sadly, there is no Gary Jules, Dave Matthews, Les Miserables or 1776, all the stuff I like to sing along with in my car the most. I suppose I'll find something though. Tomorrow when I get home from work I'll have an empty house and I'll record something. We had something like this awhile back, though it was the Hatrack Acapella thread (which I believe I broke through inaction, sorry guys!). This should be cool. I know there are some good singers on this thread, (ahem, RAIA!).

A lot of the songs are in strange categories-- "Molly Malone" in "Christian", for example. I recommend searching and/or browsing all the categories or artists, it's apt to turn up something you didn't expect. (The first one I'm going to do is "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands"-- but I'm not using their lyrics, I'm using the ones I always sing. )

I might give this a shot, if I can get my mic to work. Currently, it won't let me listen to anyone's songs. It just says, "Loading song, please wait..." forever Posts: 3950 | Registered: Mar 2006

It did that to me earlier. Try closing the window, waiting a minute, and opening it in a new window again.

Lyrhawn & ketchupqueen, Thanks for the kind words.
I've also been having a few problems with the site; internal errors and the like, mostly when I've tried to update my profile or save a song. Waiting a few minutes and resubmitting has generally worked for me.

MC, the site has a lot of random problems, mostly because I don't think they were ready to get as popular as they're getting!

Hmm. If I sing in time with the music during the recording, I come out a half beat ahead of the music during the review. I'll have to play with it later.

Don't use the review button, it's often bugged. If you just save the recording (privately if you don't want people to hear it yet!), you can listen to it properly that way.

I'm in... found a couple of songs that I have sung before, so I'll see if I can get them in this weekend.

Someone doesn't know if it's punk and put a question mark after it. I don't think I've ever heard a BC song, and for some reason just catagorized it as punk in my head. Google has confirmed my error.

well, I'm pretty sure Alan Jackson did a cover of it, but yeah, that's Bad Company.
As is "Don't you know that you are a shooting star... and all the world will love you just as long-- as long as you are."

Sorry, an Iggy Pop/Kate Pierson (of B-52s fame) song is not exactly a lot of punk. Yeah, they have the Clash and the Ramones, but where is Bad Religion, Pennywise, and others.

Wow, people still listen to that stuff? Sweet. I rarely encounter people that have heard of those bands, much less actually like them.

I'm having entirely too much fun playing with this site. Too bad they don't have a better selection... Oh well here's my contribution - no laughing because I screw up saying "machine" - my kitten was singing with me and I was trying not to laugh out loud. Posts: 5879 | Registered: Apr 2001
