Hi all. I was screwing with CoolEdit the other day when I brought my new mic home (a Rode mic, beatiful...). This is just me and my resonator into one track...pretty raw, but what the hell? A Randy Newman tune called "Guilty".

Stream it: http://www.thatllteachyou.com/mp3s/guilty.m3u
Download it: http://www.thatllteachyou.com/mp3s/guilty.mp3

All the best,

planetalk: nice song dude, it reminds me of Vai's, Louisana Swamp Skank. Kinda makes me wish I was sitting on a log in the woods drinking whiskey with my coon dogs. :)

Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

Nice voice and slide work. Especially for such a raw production. Good job.

Nice mic sound.... just outa curiosity, what model is it and how much did you pay for it.
I'm looking for something to replace my old standbye SM58 but don't wanna spend two grand or whatever.

Oh and another comment.... great guitar playing on your part but... Randy Newman???
Is it just me or does anybody else totally and absolutely hate that guys music.
Whenever a movie comes on with his songs I have to grab the remote and hit the mute button.
I mean. ... (this is my rant of the day)... did this guy sell his soul to the devil or something to be able to get to do so many soundtracks and win so many awards?
Sorry, but I just don't get what people see in him.
"Short People"..... almost as bad as "My Dingaling".

Hi Digit.

It's a Rode NT1-A mic, made right here in Australia. It looks like a Neumann, costs $350 down here... that's Aussie dollars, so somewhere about $300 US. I thought it wasn't working when I first tried it, it was so quiet.

How could anyone NOT like Randy Newman? Every song he writes is a parody of something or someone. He reminds us all through his songs of what bigotted, ignorant, prejudiced, big-headed, red-necked, sinful, stupid, greedy and fragile souls we are. I love him. Have a listen to Shame, shame, shame one day.

He does get a lot of work in movieland. I believe his uncle was Alfred Newman, another film score writer. No, not Alfred E Newman ("What, me worry?"), of MAD magazine fame, just Alfred without the E.

I just think all his stuff sounds like a stupid drunk guy.
Maybe it's just a personal dislike on my part but the ending of Monsters Inc. and Blast from the Past were ruined by his music.
I just hear his 'dumb guy' voice and I gotta hit the mute button.

Have you seen the Family Guy with Randy Newman in it?

no.. if I see the name Randy Newman attached to anything I avoid it like the plague.
I'd rather chew tinfoil & rub my head with a cheese grater than listen to his singing.
