First Richard Cheese and now this?
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />Ya kill me, MrPrez!
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />I think I like this stuff just as much as Weird Al (if not more)!!
Thanks for throwing it out there. I would’ve never known! LOL!
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />Thanks guys, Tom Petty pack coming this week, just making some adjustments to the awesomeness.
These guys are also up next…
We are building a religion.
Hey thanks guys! I’m glad you like it Funk
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />I would love to do more BNL and “Brian Wilson” is one of my top three choices to do next, the others are “Alcohol” and “It’s All Been Done”
Speaking of the Arkells, I am sure that ATrueJedi is doing one of their tunes (I’m currently tempo mapping it LOL) but its not my place to spoil which one it is. I will seek out some Tokyo Police Club and Modern Space. Anything in particular of theirs ?
For Tokyo Police Club I’d say “Not My Girl”, “Your English is Good”, and “Hot Tonight” are pretty good tunes. For Modern Space “It’s Only a Dream” and “Rule Britannia” are good as well.
Thanks for all the good stuff you do!
I’m glad you didn’t spoil the surprise. That would have been very cynical of you.

Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever 5-Pack
Full Moon Fever was technically Tom’s first solo outing, though most of the Heartbreakers and Wilburys make their own appearances. Produced by fellow Wilbury Jeff Lynne, one does not need to listen to the album for long to recognize Lynne’s signature banks of synthesizers and high pitched backing vocals. Full Moon Fever has the same restless charm and barbed wit as the Wilbury’s LP.

The opening song for this very special five-pack of customs is “The Apartment Song“. This tune leans heavily on folk rock and borrows from Chuck Berry, and also features a drum break that was swiped wholesale from Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue”.
Co-Authored by the @Spindoctor
Enjoy! Another track from this album will be posted tomorrow, and every day until Sunday.
My Cherie Amour is part of @AJFOne23 ‘s AMOUR MONTH and unless I’m mistaken also part of Wonder Wednesday! I was hoping I’d get the chance to do some Stevie Wonder vocals at some point, this should be lots of fun to try out, just be sure to warm up those vocal chords first (maybe with some Tom Petty?).
Tom Petty week just happens to be my favorite week! Cant wait to see the others!
Im really hoping for Alright for Now, though i can see why it would be passed up, as its just guitar and vocals. But ill keep my fingers crossed!

The churning rocker “Love is a Long Road” was co-written by Mike Campbell (of The Heartbreakers) who was inspired by a favourite motorcycle that he owned at the time. “It feels like a motorcycle shifting gears.” Petty’s original demo was much more chaotic and contained many more drum fills – it was Jeff Lynne who fine tuned and polished out the kinks and the final result rivals the single “Runnin’ Down a Dream” in its sleek, sophisticated energy. “All of us had a hand in the arrangement” said Petty.
Enjoy. Thanks again to my partner Spindoctor who helped me out on pretty much all of these Tom Petty tunes. mrcoupdetat was kind enough to point out that I have missed a few snares and other things in the drum fill from yesterday’s Apartment Song. He’s probably right! Sorry about that. I’ll post a fix for that on Sunday.
I LOVE this song!
Thank you so much for this one! I’m even going to have to step up to the mic for this one. The neighbors won’t be as happy as I will!

“I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” was originally written by Gene Clark and performed by the Byrds in 1965. Clark wrote it “about a girl, who was rather funny, then suddenly she wasn’t”. Initially released as a B-side, the band was in such hot demand that the song eventually charted in its own right, and since its release has gone on to become a rock and roll standard inspiring many cover versions including this, possibly the most well known version today. Jeff Lynne takes over for David Crosby‘s complex harmonies and Tom’s lifetime friend and roadie Alan “Bugs” Weidel is also credited.
Enjoy. See you tomorrow for song four of five.

According to Jeff Lynne, the journey to making the album Full Moon Fever began when by strange chance, he stopped next to Tom Petty at a red light on Thanksgiving Day in 1987. Their first collaboration came soon afterwards, with Jeff helping Tom finish the structure of “Yer So Bad” – a song he had been struggling with for weeks.
Tomorrow shall be the final song of the pack and an update for Apartment Song’s drum chart. Cheers.
Also coming this week is some 90’s Stoner-Doom Metal, you got your Electric Wizard, you got Kyuss. And then there’s

“A Face in the Crowd” is all atmospherics, Petty’s murmured refrain and the crystal-gilded guitars giving a rainy-day feel to its full-hearted, yet sparsely told tale of having someone parachute “..out of a dream, out of the sky” and into his life.
Hope you enjoy my Tom Petty Full Moon Fever 5-pack, I do have more Tom Petty in queue for later this year, they are studio versions of the live songs that HMX charted (Refugee, Breakdown, and more). I also have a whole bunch of singles coming out this week too. Alright!
Thank you very very much for the Tom Petty 5 pack!!

You made my day! It will be great to have the studio versions of those songs and any other Petty song that you decide to chart.
Thanks again!!
Hey, I thoroughly enjoy checking out your thread and what you got going on.
Tom Petty’s Full Moon Fever 5 Pack is a really great addition to the game and the wife and I are excited and full of anticipation for everything else you have down the road both here on your own thread and your collabs with the Doc and many of this forum’s outstanding authors.
Thanks!
