New Stu Woohoo part two

Postby clanger » Wed Mar 22, 2006 9:29 pm

I have developed a bit of a satisfying addiction to Mr Walker's crisp tunes.

This is a song that would work in just about any format, and that IMO, is about as good a complement a song can be paid. (I'm tempted to cover it ;shock: ) There's a funny vocal or effect line low down in the background in the middle - sort of like a wasp or old drunk woman (weird description, I know, best I can do) or something - that really hits the spot in the mix, too. I'd be curious to know what it is.

I should be the last person saying this, as I get way too pitchy with my vocals, too, but watch those held notes, Stu, a little warbly in places, but otherwise a great song, a great melody and up there with your best.

That's my daughter wanting to record something and having her tummy wobbled. Usually she just collapses in fits of giggles but this time she tried to sing, so we recorded it. I wasn't going to leave it in but it does sit right somehow - the Wee banshee :lol:

thanks Kilroy, I know. It just stopped bothering me, so I left it.

I'm almost there on finding a way to make my voice work, even when it roams, and for most indy, underground and alternative, the key is making the voice you've got work, not having a perfect voice, and I like what you do vocally in your better (technically) tracks. Guys like us will never sing opera, but that doesn't mean we can't sing ;)

Yes. Opera lovers ought to be more grateful :wink:

it seems to me that sometimes I have to get to know a tune and sometimes that it is already there, and I just have to let it out. But the key of the tune is something I am just learning about. Maybe somebody here posted about that - the wrong key can make a song impossible to sing. Apparently Elvis often sang in E and A.

Bob Dylan on the other hand seemed to be able to bend any tune to his own will.


I'm intrigued to know which of my tunes you rate from a technical perspective. Could you pm me some sort of a list?
(preferably a long one)

Whenever anybody says I can't sing I always invoke Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen as examples of great singers who can't sing (wish I could sing that "badly" :D )

Like, come on man. Bob Dylan could sing, in fact he almost defines what singing is I reckon. It ain't all about being to do 27 octaves you know, just the subtle expression of feeling through vocalised noise.

I get the point though, you weren't being negative. :P

I have developed a satisfying addiction to Walker's Crisps.

I love the rhythmn on this tune, very hypnotic and great to eat crisps to.

Full of fat and dripping with Gumbo, Yummie.

When I finally inherit the Walkers millions I shall reimburse you for all the crisps consumed. Please retain the foil wrappers from each packet in order to confirm your purchase. :wink:

classic gumbo 8)

when it comes to singin it's all about emotion n delivery. its what i listen for in a vox rather than "proper" singing technique.

doesn't mean i don't respect or like folk who can do that. its just im in the "fux it i make do with what i got" camp too

anyhoo, cool lil number stu
