1. "Sami" posted an "instrumental"/karaoke version of 'The More You Ignore Me' from I know not where.
2. I played it through my stereo and sang along with it, capturing the result on a crappy little cassette recorder, simply to amuse myself for 5 minutes.
3. I then bounced it into the computer and put some reverb on it to make it sound like it was recorded in a large room/concert hall.
4. I thought it might liven up a dull saturday afternoon to post it on the board, pretending I was Mr Reynolds.
5. Unfortunately, Mr Reynolds popped up almost straight away and spoiled the fun.
6. Had my plan been to pretend it was Morrissey from the beginning, I may have done a slightly better job by exaggerating Moz's inflections and nuances slightly, recording the vocals seperately and doing three or four takes to make a composite vocal, ensuring every line was in tune and sounding suitably Moz-esque. I would have used delays, reverb and EQ'd the sound of my voice to smooth it out and avoid the clipping and sibilance.
I would also have posted it one evening during the week when the other 10 people are here.
7. So yes, a harmless bit of karaoke, but wouldn't it have been interesting had Mr Reynolds held his tongue for slightly longer, as the comments BEFORE Mr R appeared were starting to get interesting, but of course AFTER Mr R had put the kibosh on proceedings the comments became much more predictable ,and, of course, everyone "knew" all along.
