Another Girl, Another Planet - Peel Sessions

[Geir]

Fabulous Nick.

How can one not love this?!? It's a hit!! Love the attitude, the performance, the fantastic guitarwork! A Tele I presume?

Well done nick! Well done indeed

[Pete C]

I keep coming back to this for another listen - Its so good !

Nick, what do you use for your drum track?  I've been listening to the drums on this and there's plenty of changes and it just sounds spot on.  I use the built in patterns on my BOSS 600 but often find I can't really get the pattern I want and tend to keep using the same verse and fill patterns on everything I do.  Frustrating really because there are songs I'd like to do but can't because I can't get a suitable backing

Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate it.

The drums are built in GarageBand, I get quite anal about them and even now when I listen Barack there are things I'd like to change. But it is possible to get pretty much what you want. I do also use a drum machine app called DM1 which has loads of kits / sounds, but not on this one.

You're right Geir, it's my Tele, which is actually an '82 Tokai Breezysound which I've owned nearly30 years, now.

can just see you struttin' your stuff on BBC2

Great take on a timeless classic in my opinion.

So many different parts to admire here, but the stand outs for me were the excellent vocal and that driving punchy bass tone.

My daughter has a book called Aliens Love Underpants.  It has a space ship sound on one of the buttons which I sampled and played over the start of the guitar solo and again at the end of the song.

My daughter also has that book, and I inwardly groan whenever she selects it for bedtime reading as it takes an age to read and I inevitably miss the start of the 7.45pm footy game on the telly that evening!

Thanks Tommy & TW

LOL.  It's not bedtime reading in our house, we're still at the That's not my Robot / Farm Peekaboo stage.  Strictly daytime for Aliens Love Underpants!

even now when I listen Barack there are things I'd like to change

That should have said "when I listen back..."  Stupid autocorrections.  Then my phone wouldn't let me change it.

This is a beauty Nick what a pleasure to wake up to

I don't know the original but this is great.

Fabulous cover! I heard the original first time in the 90's on MTV's 120 Minutes and fell love in it immideately! Top notch job, Nick!

On this day Bump. I think this has got to be my all time favourite cover on Songcrafters - I often go back for a listen. Classic ODH !
