The RPM Challenge

Savage cd of cover versions in shock delay

(Sunday, 04 May 2008) Written by Sister Savage

Guitar playing has suddenly hit a level, and I guess that's okay, but it does make me think that it's not as easy as I originally (and rather cockily) thought! Also, I have ditched my wondefully forgiving baby mic and have started using the industrial-size-warts-and-all beast-with-pop-filter and everythang. I am not liking the results. My voice sounds colder, thinner, much less cuddly.

So...my cover versions may be a while in the making...maybe I'll ask for permission to submit them as my RPM '09 project! Actually, that's not a bad idea!

The songs I have so far:

No Reply - Colin Garvey

Watch it go - Night Driving

Town on the Edge - Kevin Emmrich

Breaking and Entering - Volksmetall

Now - Angie Fights Crime

Nobody Home - Kai Starr

Blacksmith's Wife - IronAngel Forge

Folk Punk Baby - Fence Flatley

Why do you come see me now - Osborne and Hutchison

Oh, and Bukkianna-meyu - Michelangelo...

Mail me if you have something for me to add to this list (or if I have missed any), or if you'd like me to quit messing with your song!

You definitly have my permission to use any of my RPM 08 stuff for your 09 disk. I wonder if that actually counts? Or would you do it as a second disk to send in?

Thanks! I'm sure it would be within the rules - so long as my recordings are only done in February. :-)

The only reason I wondered is does it fit into the RPM challenge of being "orginal" material... perhaps a thread on the forums to see what others think on this idea? Personally, I think its really cool, and hope to see (well...hear) several albums of RPM covers in the near future.

Ah...yes, that would be a slight hitch in my master plan then. Hmmm, looks like I'm doing a personal January challenge!

Ah, come on Sister, can't you give us a taste of what they might sound like, rough demos, musical doodling,etc.....

BTW that's a yes on using our song.

Didn't you get my email? Gah! Sorry! I'm loving it - you're my personal hero! Annoyingly, the vocal range is giving me the most difficulty!!!

Haha! Bless you!! (I'm waiting for Fence Flatley to cover one of mine and I feel the same!) I'm actually ready to record yours now as it's the one I started working on first - just need to do it (have small kids so it's not as easy as it sounds).

I think it's probably best that you expect the absolute worst.

Thanks! It might be awhile before I get a chance but that's really cool!
