#020: March of the (Bohemian) Pigs

AcapellaCoversJasonJonMichaelMike PSarah


March of the (Bohemian) Pigs

Sarah, Jason, Jon, Michael, Mike P: Vocals

Michael had it in his mind that an acapella/barbershop quartet version of this Nine Inch Nails tune would sound amazing. And on one fateful night he indeed got his wish, with a little bit of Bohemian Rhapsody unexpectedly tagged on at the end.

Oh! Darling

Sarah: Vocals
Jason: Slide Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals
Jon: Guitar, Vocals
Michael: Microphone Holding, Distant Vocals

A very quiet version of this Beatles tune that Sarah and Jon liked so much they started playing the song over right after we finished playing it, hence the two endings going on here.

Absolutely Cuckoo

Sarah: Vocals
Jon: Guitar, Distant Vocals
Mike P: Guitar
Michael: Percussion, Backing Vocals
Natasha: Piano
Jason: Ukulele, Harmonica

Our cover of the first track from 69 Love Songs, which we did with little forethought to rehearse, hence it sounding endearingly sloppy and loose. That’s kind of the norm around here, you know.

#006: Remember

Remember

Sarah: Vocals
Michael: Vocals, Bass, Synth
Mike P: Piano
Jason: Harmonica
Jon: Guitar, Backing Vocals/Beatbox

A minor epic of sorts, with Michael and Sarah improvising some sort of lovers spat over cheating, coffee, wine, and long phone calls. The chord progression is borrowed from the song Ansaphone by Pulp, one of Mike P`s favorite things to play on the piano.
