Barbelith musicians: a Palace Power-pop Project

Hey.

Can any of you rock?

Try this.

Rough summary, from the link:
What is this?
A poorly thought-out contrivance by which Merlin Mann cajoles his friends and his favorite bands into recording spirited, power pop covers of Palace’s song, “I am a Cinematographer,” from the 1994 album Days in the Wake (Drag City).

Non-Binding Guidelines
* Your cover should include the core lyrics and tune of Palace’s original
* It should hew to at least the broadest description of “Power Pop”
* Creative license with regard to structure, order, key, arrangement and instrumentation, etc. is limitless


I'm doing it. I think a surprising number of bands from the list will be doing it, too. Because 1. Mr. Mann, he gets around and 2. it sounds like a lot of fun.

I did it.

It's hot and fresh.

It's pretty obvious I'm not a drummer, but I like it anyway.
