blake and i have been discussing the idea of putting out another free download single. we were thinking maybe of an edit of 'i can't make you love me' (the intro edited down a bit, basically). fbi have been playing it a bit and it makes reasonable sense as a single. for the extra tracks, i was thinking perhaps of using up some of the songs we have backlogged, but which probably wouldn't otherwise get developed. things like 'monday. wednesday, sunday' and 'scarecrow in the melon patch'. they're songs that would have a similar feel to 'i can't make you love me'. they need polishing, though, especially in the vocal department. blake also suggested some live things - i thought maybe the live version of belafonte from the last fbi radio appearance. any other suggestions? it's a single, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a cohesive whole - but we thought maybe this time use some of our own things rather than remixes.
i would also really like to do a 3 track ep of the electronic things i started over january - http://telafonica.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-electronica.html and http://telafonica.blogspot.com/2010/01/some-electronic-music.html. i'd love to have some vocal things happening - especially in the last of those. probably more abstract kinds of vocals. i'd love them to then be released on a 3" cd-r which is attached to old floppy disc cases via a foam dot. the artwork would all exist just on the sticker on the floppy disc and on the actual disc itself. any thoughts?...

Sounds like a botchy boob job.
Oh and I'm going away next week so I might not get to it for a bit, but keep harassing me, Mx
PS anyone know any sweet MC's?! you could really bust some rhymes out on a couple of these too if you had the skills!
if so, i can easily send you individual files, or just the whole of each track, and you can record vocal bits for them. even without any of that software, you could just download audacity and do it with that. if worse comes to worst, you can just use the inbuilt mic on the mac - blake has recorded the majority of his lessons in time stuff that way to pretty good effect. i can then edit the vocals back into the tracks over here.
that would be really great.
