Your suggestions please.....


Good evening to you all,

We hope you've all had a day as good as ours. We've had a good 12 inches of snow in Guildford, the consequence of which was an enormous arranged snowball fight in Stoke Park in Guildford. It was epic.

Now, down to business - we have a proposition for you. Here's how it will work:

1. You comment us on here (or on myspace if you prefer) with a suggestion of a popular song that you would like to hear us do our own version of, in an acoustic or electronic style.

2. On the 1st of March we will announce which song we will be covering.

3. By the middle of March we will have recorded the track and it will be posted up on here for you all to have a listen to!

So let's have fun with this, make them interesting, funny or impossible and we will give it our best shot!

Feel free to make more than one suggestion if you wish.

Take care and get in touch!

-James.

    I'll list a few good ones that may work (if you dont mind), though some would suit you better than others:
    Guillemots - 'Get Over It'
    Basshunter - 'Walk on Water' or maybe even 'Angels in the Night'
    Klaxons - 'Forgotten Works'
    and finally, Hybrid - 'Until Tomorrow' (Would suit you well I think)

    Just some ideas, too many probably but hey, worth mentioning lol.

    Just copying over from MySpace so as to be in the big list.

    1) Live Long - Kings of Convenience
    2) Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation
    3) Shadow of the Day - Linkin Park
    4) Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
    5) See These Bones - Nada Surf

    I strongly agree with Joel on "Until Tomorrow - Hybrid". It would suit your style extremely well and I recommend that you gibe at least that one a shot. Even if it is almost seven minutes long.....

    God Only Knows - Beach Boys
    Slow Hands - Interpol
    Dog Days Are Over - Florence and The Machine
    This Town Aint Big Enough For The Both Of Us - Sparks

    I know they're really random songs but I think they could sound really cool in a slightly different style/genre!

    Oh dear no offence to James (not your drummer James, my mate James) but absolutely not Hallelujah please oh please. X-Factor woman killed it, it needs to be left where it is I think. Itd be hard to to with your style too. Sorry just my opinion lol
