The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get

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.

You have quite a good voice. Bit silly posing as Mr Reynolds though, you could potentially put him off posting his treasures here?

Fair enough, but he is a bit pompous and was ripe for being parodied.
I appreciate his downloads, but slightly resent the fact that we almost have to beg for them and then fawn over him in gratitude.
Either post them or don't, but try and be more gracious about it would be my advice.
 
Re: Who cares what you think though? Parasite.

serverman, just die.
 
Not bad singing. Don't post as other users, though (especially one's who upload rarities!)
 
fair enough

Fair point, but, unlike those who impersonate me (which no-one seems to mind btw) I didn't mean anything by it, other than to add authenticity to my silly story. I always intended to come clean and would have apologised to Mr R if he hadn't been so shitty about it. But still, I get your point.
 
Not really, you're just a chunk of computer code.

btw where did you get the moz-karaoke stuff and who recorded it?
 
Hmmm perchance, but you use the word "kibosh", thus, you're arguement is flawed
 
As the only person EVER to use the word "kibosh" here, I should be congratulated

and anyway, you spelled 'argument' wrong. :p

If I have come across as pompous I apologise.
I have my tongue firmly in my cheek most of the time.
I have only ever intended to please the majority of Mozz fans by sharing gems that I have (that I never even realised were that rare until recently) and in by doing so encouraging a more caring sharing ambience to proceedings here. That is all.
No one has to beg.
I am nothing special.
I will share all I have as I eventually find things in my vast collection.
So....chill....

Mr R (The 'fun' spoiler)
 
ARe you the Mr Reynolds who wrote a lot of kill uncle, and featured in the jewel in the crown documentary?
 
*Public Apology*

OK Mr R, I take it back and I apologise, you're an altruist and a gentleman( but I could never do anything quite so vulgar as "chill").
