Foster The People
Hahaah funny, cause we wanted to name our band the same way at first. I discovered the band in the begining of August. I waited for a Coldplay concert which was at 3:30 am here so yeah kind of challenge. So I watched all the other bands because I didn't want to close my eyes. Well I heard a familiar song there. My brother had his 26th birthday next few days so I decided to buy him a CD. I didn't see The XX or Friendly Fires anywhere so I thugh of the concert. And that was a big faux pas because I bought him Foster The People and later discovered that the song which I recognized was "I can talk" but not by Foster The People, it was by Two Doors Cinema Club. But. He listened to the CD then his girlfriend and then me and we all liked it. Kind of funny story : D

Florence + The Machine
A great and positive surprise after hearing Paradise which was...just weird. Yeah I started to like it but it's now the way it should be. What is the point in listening the song 40 times to like it? I love Coldplay but...it was weird. So, when I first heard this song - means like 3 hours ago I loved it straight away and near 1/3 through the song I already cried. Lame, but I had a heavy day. Thanks very much Florence you're amazing as always.

Female vocal? ** UPDATED - It's Rihanna **
If they wanted the song to be dark and mysterious as it has appeared to others at the begining they could choose girls from Warpaint. If they wanted it to be more with a feeling they could choose Adele. If they wanted just a good artist with a great voice and the most epic collab they could choose Florence Welch. Why didn't they choose Alicia Keys? They're friends right? How amazing it would be? So I'll ask again. Why the fuck Rihanna? Why? I know it's just a band. But it's not just a music. And I feel terrible right now.

Female vocal? ** UPDATED - It's Rihanna **
Absolutely that. I haven't had any doubt about what Coldplay does until now. It's really wrong kind of direction. After watching the festival songs I said to myself 'wooah told ya, it's still epic' But ETIAW (I love Etiaw but still, it's different from what I expected), Paradise, Rihanna, and Jay-Z earlier? Come on. I'm mad at Chris. A little. I know that the rest of band would go into opposite direction. Will is just a simple guitarist who loves classics and listens to good music. Maybe that's why he was so harsh to all the songs. But why did he approve all of what happened here? I may begin to like Paradise. Who knows... But I still think it wasn't a good idea because I'm very objective right now and I think it's a plain pop song,

Rate/Critisize (or whatever) my cover please.
Yes just an audacity... I was desperate xD Thanks guys. I mean, very, very much. Eh, yeah I know strikie, intro isn't too good, but I didn't even think about it I listened to the live versions so much that I just did it, and then wanted to add the original version too. I'll maybe remove it somehow or something, mhm, that would be a good idea. So thanks again. And thanks Will : D That's so nice. Especially hearing it from you cause you're an amazing musician. And about the guitar, nooo. I didn't make myself clear. I play guitar for a while. My vocalist left her guitar at my house few months ago and sometimes when I was bored I tried to learn some things. The best thing was that I already understood music at some point because of the piano so it was easier for me to learn. I admit that I couldn't play any barre and was so shit that wow. But I managed to learn some chords and some parts of songs. 2 weeks ago I bought my guitar and started to play more because it was just better to play on the guitar that sounds like a real instrument not a hmm... junk (sorry dear guitar).

Rate/Critisize (or whatever) my cover please.
So like the title says. Give me your opinion. But there are few things I want you to know before you do: 1. I am no guitarist. I'm a pianist. I don't really play guitar but that was the only thing I had. I bought this electro acoustic guitar like 2 weeks ago and I'm very proud of how it sounds since I used it for bass, guitar and an electric guitar parts in this song. 2. It was supposed to sound close to original. Didn't want to interpret it my way or something so if you're familiar with the song, let me know if I messed up. 3. This is my first/second cover. First/second cause I did like 2.5 minutes of another song the day before but it was shit. 4. As I said the only thing I had was and electro acoustic guitar. I also used Fl to create 'drums'. Drums...heh good joke, I know. Recorded the whole thing in Audacity. 5. Yes, I know that vocal is quiet sometimes. But I wanted it to be like that. 6. I am not a singer, I didn't have any lessons, I'm just a backing vocal in my band. I think that's all. The song is: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19_n0Fxn8S4&feature=related]Warpaint - Beetles[/ame] My attempt: http://soundcloud.com/mmunm/warpaint-beetles-cover-by-the

I need performing tips
Do you have any hints to sing with the band? I mean. I do that for some time but what the problem is that our instruments are quite lous and when I sing it's not like I can't hear myself...it's like it's so loud that it's hard to sing...if it makes any sense to you lol.

Warpaint
Disaagreee here. I don't know why the fuck was accordion there. Even keyboard/synth in original version was better, they could use it on live performances. The guy was playing in a very boring way although he kinda looked cool. Lol. But despite all that Billie Holiday is a masterpiece. I totally love it. Hmmm... yeah that was quite an idiotic thing ; O Sorry. I love The Beetles @ Coachella. I love all the girls but still, I think Jenny might be my favourite I think. She's the prettiest and looks insane/drunk/on drugs on stage :lol: Emily is also great and I totally love her in Elephants. But her disadvantage is that she's quite weak live. At least I think so. Glastonbury's Elephants is still epic but Emily can't reach the high notes. At all. She changes tha vocal line quite much cause she's unable to sing it. But she's still wonderful and she adds those lovely sounds to Jenny's riff on this performance at the end of every part, mhmmm. To sum up, I think that Theres has more control over her voice than Emily.

YES! I'm starting to be afraid that we won't see any more glimpse of his beautiful pefect torso than on Live 2003 diary when he changes his shirt and we only see a little more than he usually shows us with his shirts. But anyway :dead: I want to see this man with maximally one clothing.

MX / Hurts Like Heaven piano cover
Great it was so nice to listen to. The only thing I didn't like was MX. It was too fast + it had some wrong chords.
