First, Hello... it has been a while. I hope all is well with old friends and those I don't know yet here...


Second:
JofZ and I have an idea. An album made by fans covering PJ songs that they love. This could be a very cool project and way to connect with fellow PJ fans around the world and share in our love of this music. Songs could be recorded in a studio (if applicable) or on our cpus and shared to add the different parts and sections... then mastered and put into an album.

We need drummers, bass players, guitarists, keyboards, singers, graphic artists, etc... (It's not like there can only be one singer, or one drummer, etc...we can all collborate and work to put together a cool project)

I am in to sing, play guitar (where needed), harmonica (if we do Smile or Driftin, lol), or piano/organ parts if wanted.

JofZ is in to play guitar, work on recording/mastering, and provide insane guitar tone to the records

We are both willing to help organize this idea, but need the rest of you to participate.

Who's interested? How would you want to participate? Song ideas?

    I don't know when I'll have time to squeeze it in.....but I'll definitely see what I can do. Oh, on Vox and Guitar. Maybe i'll try and record something just with me and acoustic guitar

    I've already pretty much got my take on Not For you recorded on analog 4-track tape and it just needs my vocals. I don't know how this would work, but I love the idea. Cool project.

    I really like this idea guys.

    However, my home recording setup is not anywhere suitable for this quality of an idea. I am regularly in studio these days, but that time is dedicated to (and paid for by) the band that I'm playing for. I have strong doubts I could use the studio for my own personal project unless it came out of my own pocket, which is near impossible at the moment.

    I may be investing in some recording equipment of my own come the New Year, but that all depends on the payout from my current gig. I say - money in from music, goes to music -, but we'll have to see.

    I'm down, not sure what and how much I'll be able to contribute, but I'll try my best! I can play some guitar, maybe some backing vocals. Would never attempt lead, either guitar or vocals.

    I'd throw in my already recorded instrumental cover of In My Tree.

    i would love to be a part of this, but i'm not sure my comp is up to the standard of everyone else's, especially if there will be some pro studio work.

    i can do some rythym git, maybe a little bass ( i've got a fretless?!?!)

    ...and i'm pretty sure i can sing better then Jeff. So i could do backing vox.

    How bout Tremor Christ, dammit!!!

    actually i think a reworking of Indifference would be extremely cool.
    There is so much room in that song, alot of individual voices could have their say.

    Even if i don't work on this, please keep me updated, i'd love to hear the finished songlist and product. i was thinking the other day about trying to put together a one-off PJ covers set, just to get playing again.

    Looks like this might actually work :)

    We need a theme and set list!

    House and I were thinking Global Warming as the cause with the name:
    Mookie and the Big Wave Riders
    or just Big Wave.

    To the best of my knowledge this is the 1st Internet project of its kind and this could be very interesting.

    Lets work on the setlist!

    Suggestions?

    I really like the previous suggestion of Indifference...

    I think it would be nice to have a bit of a theme/common thread to the songs chosen. We don't have to be tied to that though.

    Seems like a good response so far... thanks for the support. I will be keeping a list of those interested and how they wish to contribute, we can figure out a lineup and consider logistics of it all.

    We have some exciting possibilities starting to shape up!!

    sounds excellent...maybe we can try and do one in australia also (where i am)...i'm a big shower singer and lately have been recording instrumentals on guitar (very simplified versions) and singing to it in the shower...the neighbours must love me...wouldn't mind maybe starting a cover band up either where i'd have to sing if anything which i'm not too bad at i suppose but know next to nothing about music (making, reading etc)...taught myself guitar which is why i'm not real good but servicable maybe
