Thumped Cover Challenge #7 - Rickenbackers (1 Viewer)

[pissypants]

Seeing as one's not been chosen yet, and if Villa R doesn't care (because it's probably his go to choose) should we just go with XTC this month? They've been mentioned a few times before.

Has Villa R said he/she doesn't care?

Well, it's the 1st and not a peep.

Speak up Villa R!

Re: Thumped Cover Challenge #7 - XTC?

Hi all,

These have been really sad days for me and many others with the passing of derrick and i just forgot the date.

So I would like to make this cover challenge a tribute to one of the the things he loved most - rickenbackers. So my proposal is that this month we do 'rickenbacker music' - anything from the byrds to the beatles to REM.

It was derrick who encouraged me to do the challenges and I know he had amazing fun doing them. Lets make this one for him.

Looks like a list of bands that don't use Rickenbacker might be easier.
This should be very interesting..|..|

Yes this is the most stupid electodubnonsence you've ever heard, but it's Making Plans for Nigel by XTC, the last XTC song I thought I'd ever do - well, directly after Dear God anyway. It's not finished, but if I don't post it today I never will.

I was quite drunk when I made this, and it shows.
Listen loud with lots of bass, while drunk, and underwater if possible.

You've deffinitely bookended the cover market for Nigel, w this at the other end..couldn't even listen to 3 secs of any of the youtube covers of Nige..its not actually a great song..just relentless (i have it up there w Nowhere Man by the Beatles...they sang Hey Jude etc??)..you've brought the roboto-parents to the fore your one..not the whiney mates of Nigel, who are a bunch of Cecils...long pants to Pissy
