SY Gossip Fan Tribute Album - Volume 2
 

Sonic Youth Gossip
TRIBUTE ALBUM
VOLUME 2

Record a Sonic Youth cover, by yourself or with your friends! Upload it to a file sharing website like Badongo or Yousendit and send me a private message with the download link inside. I'll compile them all and with help from everybody with cover art and sequencing, we can have our very own Sonic Youth Gossip Tribute Albums. So far we have completed one volume, and the project is now accepting submissions for volume 2!

Swing by our site, http://sygossiptribute.blogspot.com/ to download previous volumes and find out a little more about the people behind the covers.

General guidelines:
multiple submissions by one person: no.
submissions of one person in combination with others: yes
be creative, try not to just recreate a song

Submissions we have recieved so far:

Little Trouble Girl - contrelefuckingsexisme

I may have a mix of The Burning Spear for you tonight dood! There's even drill action on it now.

You have a message, Danny :)

Thanks CHOUT! Another sexy submission.

I might have a go at this with my band, we're doing a little bit of recording this weekend...

I could try some cover art too if you want...

Nice. What song are you gonna perform for us?

Not sure at the moment... I'm thinking maybe a shortened acoustic version of the diamond sea, though someone's probably already done that... I don't know, I'll try loads of stuff, see how it goes, maybe stones/rain on tin...

We've already had a cover of the diamond sea for volume one.. but yeah, just do what you feel!

Hey Danny
I have a submission for Volume 2.
Me and my band have do a cover of Death Valley 69, it just needs to be mixed, then I will send it to you..

Cool!

I can't wait to hear it.

I want to record Reena. i'll get back to you.

Whats the title of this thing? I'm going to do a few designs for the album art if I find the time...

um if we record our next show. i should be able to contribute a copy of The Wonder or Silver Rocket to it. maybe a copy Youth Against Fascism or 100% as well. all depends on how big of a slot we get.

there's still the "offcial" artwork for vol.1 to be done!:eek:

What's up with this? Is there a deadline? Anyone else throwing down? Contribute, bitches.

i shall be contributing very soon . . . just gotta do the techy bit and convert some bits and upload this and that then a tweak or too and hopefully bob's yer bleedin' uncle.

Making the drama scene and me want to contribute as well.

We thought about doing NYCG&F

Cool. Good to know people are still working on it.

I think i'm gonna do Karen Koltrane.
What's the deadline?

damn you guys are choosing hard songs to cover. congrats!

There is no deadline. But try to get your songs finished in a good time, otherwise the project will die.

Our cover of Death Valley 69 is done.
Danny you got mail!

I checked my email, yes. No yousendit link in there..

Oh wait. I have it now. Sounds gooooood!

Thanks.

I'd love to contribute as well. I am going to do a version of Mote the way The Ramones would do it (or not, heh).

Welcome aboard man!

Welcome to the board and thank you for your contribution!

so we are recording our full length these days, 13 songs of ours and one cover... STEREO SANCTITY. we hope to put it out ASAP, a teaser of the new album...

I may do something, maybe.

I've just recorded a lo-fi version of Silver Rocket. I pm you the link Danny!

Got it!

Thanks for the contribution.

don't forget to update the first post of this thread with the "confirmed" contributions, Danny ;).

Haha thanks Nic, I'm forgetful..

Maybie i should try to finish up my cover of Sleepin' Around.

That would be great. That was my favorite song on RR besides 'Rats'.

Dibs on cross the breeze!

Anyone wanna collaborate it?

Edit: Scratch that, I think I'm gonna do Star Power.

Im open to collaborate again if someone needs bass/guitars/vox.

I need to get a new fuse 4 my 4 track- but here is what I think I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna have my drum machine play a beat in rhythm with the song, record that, then play guitar and do vox, then drop the drum track and record my own 2 piece drum part.

So then I'd have drums, guitar, vox.

I will probably be participating in this. It's something nobody has done too. Started working on it earlier today
