Thumped Cover Challenge #7 - Rickenbackers (1 Viewer)

[plug]

^^ Ignore the previous post - mp3 is wrong^^

This one is it:

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.

Essence-ial..a well done 10/10 for frickin intrestin bro..he has a future in british steal.....is the gtr you or a sampull?
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

The guitar is a clav.
Nigel is a good song, but far from my favourite XTC, and far from their best, so this happened by accident - likely out of laziness. Is it wrong that I quite like that Nouvelle Vague cover (although I've never heard it before).

More cowbell.
Twin peaks bahwha???
