*spies Costello and votes for him*
*knows full-well he still owes you that Talking Heads song*
*asks anyway*
Would you ever want to collaborate on Alison?
P.S. Pretend my non-forum-going band mate voted for Nick Cave.

Alison is already in the DB mate
We can discuss other Costello tunes maybe, but let’s do the Talking Heads song first! And FJM possibly haha

Derp. Sorry! I don’t know how I missed it… I’ll blame the spelling
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />And yes, I will get to Talking Heads because I really want to get that FJM song done. Motivation! But I have so many obligations to other authors.

Please note, I have Veronica on my “I’m working on it right now” WiP in case you hadn’t checked in a while.

Thanks, I’m aware and I wasn’t planning to do this song anyway. Waiting for the custom
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Voted!

Voted!

Tell Mr truejedi to finish the talking heads song before haha
But seriously, I would love to do FJM, the problem is that his music is piano heavy (so it will be weird to chart without pro keys) and there aren’t really many good FJM midis out there. I can figure out keys by ear if it’s fairly simple, but for complex piano parts it would take me forever… so just charting keys to his songs will be a nightmare. Thankfully the song we’re discussing is more guitar heavy…
Im excited for whatever you and your charters-in-arms are able to make available to us. Anyone talking about FJM, Pulp, Suede, Bowie, Talking Heads, etc will have a grateful customer here.
The Replacements 4-Pack!
Probably the best punk rock band of all time, and after I already did their classic “Can’t Hardly Wait“, The Replacements now get their own 4 pack! The pack includes 2 updates of previously drum-only customs, and two brand new songs!
Please note – for all updates, I’m also seriously updating the drum chart (I’ve gotten better at those), tempo map, etc. So even if you’re only a drummer, and you have the old version – I highly suggest downloading the new one! It’s much better.
And now, the songs…
Kicking it up with a classic (but honestly, they all are!), “Favorite Thing” is an ultra fast, furious and brilliant punk-rock masterpiece, from the all-time classic album “Let it Be”. This one will get you sweating and screaming!
“Kiss Me on the Bus” is a brilliant, catchy, jangle pop/rock track. An all time classic and really a fun song!
My personal favorite of the pack, “Color Me Impressed” is a fast-paced and brilliant punk classic from the band. An early classic, one of their defining songs and biggest classics, this one will make you sweat and test your stamina – especially on drums! And it also has a pretty tough guitar solo.
Representing the more quiet side of the Replacements, “Swingin’ Party” is a gentle rock masterpiece, with brilliant lyrics, from the classic album “Tim”. It’s beautiful to sing, includes an incredible melodic bass line (especially the chorus) and should be a nice way to chill after rocking out to the other tunes. It’s now regarded as a classic, covered by artists like Lorde and many others.
That’s it for today! I keep clearing the pipeline. Now I only have, hmm, 13 customs that I started work on and yet to release… I’ll get to those before starting a new batch!
And speaking of the new batch – which artists would you like to see? I made a poll from my top options, and it’s still relevant. So if you haven’t already, make sure to vote here!
Have fun!
Thanks for these Yaniv

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />great work
Thanks for these Yaniv
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> I have not really heard this band before but they sound awesome Thanks! If you like punk-rock they’re absolutely essential. Even the Green Day singer said he would have never played punk if it wasn’t for them.
Personally I’m not a huge punk rock fan (not a huge Green Day fan either), but I still absolutely love them because I’m a huge fan of great songwriting, and I think Paul Westerberg is one of the finest songwriters I know.
Don’t forget The Replacements were also on the Rock Band 2 disc.
Thanks for this 4 pack. Opened my horizon with them.

Wilco “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” 4-Pack!
So, today it’s (finally) the time to release a pack that me and the great mrcoupdetat have been working on for a very long time. A tribute to one of the greatest albums of the 2000’s, Wilco’s masterpiece “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”.
Those four songs from the album were already available as drum-only customs, but they’ve been updated and upgraded in any way to give those songs the full experience they deserve. And they turned out to be absolutely fantastic customs, in my humble opinion
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />Thanks again to mrcoupdetat for his great work on those songs!
And a huge thanks to Nolan for the preview videos!
Just a note on the preview videos: after they were done, I ended up doing another round of fixes and changes on all the songs. So they’re a bit out of date – the customs you’re getting are actually better than the videos show! There are a few charting bugs in the videos – they’re all fixed in the actual custom. Especially the vocal tracks went through a major rehaul. But the videos are still great to get a general feel of how the custom is.
The epic opening song to this masterful record, this is a Wilco classic and one of their most beloved tunes. At it’s core it’s a fairly simple folk ballad, but the instrumentation and the production are masterful. Drums are original and entertaining, bass is fun and changing, keys are varied and include a few great piano melodies, and there’s even a drum solo! Before it eventually climaxes with long synth drones and a final, higher-octave verse.
Not quite what the name implies, Heavy Metal Drummer is a fun, catchy and probably the most poppy song on the record. Pretty straight forward on all instruments, it’s a great one to relax and sing along to.
If you’re looking for a challenge or some insane charts, this is the one for you! With no less than 3 guitar solos, and one of the most unique drum tracks I’ve seen (actually it’s a combination of several different percussion tracks), this song definitely delivers great entertainment on all instruments. And it’s a freakin’ great song too!
Oh and mad respect to mrcoupdetat for charting that guitar track – wonder how long this one took!
Finishing with the prettiest one, Jesus Etc is a stone-cold indie classic. A beautiful love ballad full of string instruments (here charted to a pretty busy keys track), this is in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful songs written in the last decades. A classic.
Thanks for downloading, hope you enjoyed it!
