But my (primary) former originals band, Noisepie, also did lots of covers.  Of course we would &#8220;Pie&#8221; the songs up and make them our own.  This post is mostly an excuse to show off some of these songs.  I wish we had recorded more of our cover songs because some were pretty classic (you&#8217;ll have to ask if you&#8217;d like me to ramble on about that), but at least I have these for posterity&#8217;s sake.  (I might have put this post up at Kulturblog if it weren&#8217;t so shamelessly self-aggrandizing&#8230;).  Anyway, here they are with links to the MP3s: <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisepie.com\/mp3\/Noisepie%20-%20Mandy.mp3\">Mandy<\/a> &#8211; Noisepie was a pretty hard-rockin&#8217; band but we were sort of goofy too, so a hard funk version of a Manilo classic just made sense.  This was probably our most popular cover. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisepie.com\/mp3\/Noisepie%20-%20Stuck%20in%20the%20Middle.mp3\">Stuck In The Middle<\/a> &#8211; This one showed off our art rock leanings.  It is a cover of the classic 70s song that was revived in the movie <em>Reservoir Dogs<\/em>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisepie.com\/mp3\/Noisepie%20-%20Summertime.mp3\"><br \/>\nSummertime<\/a> &#8211; This is our live recording of Gershwin&#8217;s classic.  Being live it has some rough edges, but overall it came out ok.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noisepie.com\/mp3\/Noisepie%20-%20Sweet%20Caroline.mp3\">Sweet Caroline<\/a> &#8211; This Neil Diamond song was really cool live but I think the recording suffers a bit from me trying to overproduce it.  I just loved throwing in crazy group singing into my song arrangements and this one shows that.  You might notice Kristen&#8217;s lovely voice in the backup vocals too!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, check the tunes out if you would like and vote on the one you hate most.  That&#8217;s me on vocals and sax (except on Stuck in the Middle where T.C., my older brother and our drummer, sings lead.  I sing backup and play flute on that one.) <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!
