Recordings of Dick and the Pickflickers
August 28, 2004 (Brad's place, Austin, Texas)
Roster: Richard Ayers, Wesley Bohannon, George Kaupas, Brad Newberry
Our second time recording ourselves, this time with amps situated per Danny's suggestion. Most of the time you can hear the vocals over the instruments!
Listen to the full set or select an individual song below:
- King's Highway (Tom Petty)
- in which George blames any vocal anomalies on hearing more Dsus4's than he can shake a stick at
- I Fought the Law (Sonny Curtis)
- in which the group attempts a new song in order to get "more Brad"
- Metal and Steel (Bob Schneider)
- in which the redundancy of the title is addressed by the proposed lyric "I am metal; more specifically, steel"
- Feel a Whole Lot Better (Gene Clark)
- in which Richard's interpretation of the song's expression of relief required the group to record multiple takes; after the third (the version presented here) Wes noted "the air was unspoiled that time"
- End of the Line (Traveling Wilburys)
- (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding (Nick Lowe)
- Inspection Wise 1999 (The Hives)
- in which "The Wes and George Song" is attempted for the first time
- The Damage You've Done (Tom Petty)
- Christmas All Over Again (Tom Petty)
- in which the group begins preparations for holiday caroling
- (She's) Some Kind of Wonderful [improvised excerpt] (John Ellison)
- The Kids Are Alright (Pete Townsend)
- I'm A Believer (Neil Diamond)
- in which the group attempts another new song to get "more Brad", but George's cheesy keyboarding is drowned out in the mix
- Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town (Pearl Jam)
- in which George's singing is mercifully drowned out in the mix
- Under the Milky Way (Steve Kilbey)
- in which George avenges himself for being drowned out in the previous two songs by playing the bass loud, and Wes does the kewl EBow thang
- Baby, Let's Play House (Aurthur Gunther)
- Road Runner Theme (Barbara Cameron)
