>IMPORTANT After the clusterfuck that was the Beatles album, we are going to be using a different claiming method this time. Pick a song that you want to cover from the list below, and email me at [email protected] with a rough timescale for when you will be able to finish it. If you simply claim a song in the thread but don't email, it will be ignored. This is because dozens of people drifted into the Beatles claiming thread, claimed a song, and then vanished forever. When songs are finished, they should be sent via email, not posted in the thread. This keeps an element of mystery about the final product.
Submission rules can be found in the first reply
THE SONG LIST:

Blackstar Lazarus
>IF YOU CAN'T SING, ASK SOMEONE ELSE IN THE THREAD TO! Really want to push for strong vocals throughout on this project, so don't feel like you have to sing on your track if you don't feel comfortable doing so. There are plenty of good singers on this board who can help you out.
>This is a fairly serious project, and there will be quality control. Harsh noise won't be accepted, because fuck that shit. Please don't make your covers memey, I know there were a few on the Beatles one like that but I want this one to be a bit more serious.
>Poor audio quality will be rejected. By that I mean something like heavy background fuzz, don't worry if your recording equipment is not professional standard. Just listen to the Beatles album for acceptable sound quality. >Don't send me guerilla mail. I prefer if submissions are wav files but I don't mind converting them myself.
>It has to be an actual cover of the song, not just you saying "We can be heroes" into the mic once and then playing unrelated music you wrote yourself for 5 minutes. Reinterpretations are very welcome though, see Day Tripper or Paperback Writer from the Beatles album as examples.
>Collabs are also welcome, if you need someone to play bass or drums or whatever for you, just ask in the thread. People collaborated numerous times on the last album to great success.
Brandon Harris
Yo, Teenage Wildlife guy here. You replied to my request to include the song with "all yours senpai", does that mean I've already got dibs on the song?
If so, what would be the longest you'd be willing to wait on it?
Chase Young
Sorry lad my bad, only just sent that email so forgot to tick that off the list. Just let me know when you think you can finish it by, no rush.
Jason Flores
CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
Samuel Murphy
I was wondering if this was still happening
John Scott
can we request to replace/add songs that are good that you overlooked?
Henry Fisher
Rebel Rebel now claimed
I'll consider them if you email me your suggestion, no guarantees though. This list was compiled using the suggestions of quite a lot of anons in previous threads already, and there are only a few I'm willing to replace
Zachary James
Would LOVE to do Blackstar if I had my recording shit with me
Logan Miller
How do I claim a song, and when is the deadline to submit?
Austin Foster
Via email ([email protected]) and there is no deadline, just let me know roughly when you can get it done by.
Nolan Cook
*deletes Something*
James Roberts
Bad songs are important for the album flow
Ian Davis
alright, I was gonna suggest loving the alien. I will claim something though (probably five years or sound and vision)
Robert James
Will post updated song list with newly claimed ones every now and then so people can keep up. Sound and Vision has just been claimed so that you all know
Evan Martin
*deletes Help*
Owen White
Okay Here, if sound and vision is claimed I'll do five years
Sebastian Murphy
Lazarus claimed
Chase Martinez
Send me en email if you can lad, unfortunately we're needing to do it this way because so many people claimed Beatles songs in the threads but then disappeared and I had no way of asking them for updates. It led to a lot of delays in the final release
Thomas Thompson
you people are not worthy desu
Samuel Adams
>no fun allowed
Ryan Phillips
finally a real artist to cover, unlike the cucktles
Jeremiah Ross
(You)
Easton Sanchez
Can I request more than one song?
Jace Evans
The album cover has to include meme school
Daniel Moore
Quite a few anons did more than one song for the Beatles cover album and that is allowed again this time, but I think we should stick to claiming one song at a time so that people don't just claim all the good ones at once. Once you submit one you're free to claim another
Evan Lopez
I'm so tempted to try and make blackstar but i don't have much time anymore to work on music plus i'd need to find a singer
Jace Clark
>plus i'd need to find a singer Wouldn't be a problem, I have loads of good singers on call over email who are willing to help with this project
Jordan Brown
Whomstever does Laughing Gnome better do it justice
Anthony Carter
>11011 dang
James Martin
Don't think I have the time to do something more interesting than a white girl guitar cover. Hope this works out, these Sup Forums sings things always produce one or two gems.
Juan Reed
So, uh, I made this
Brandon Ross
IN THE VILLA OF ORMEN
kek
Jordan White
How is Blackstar so fucking good guys? The song I mean
Jace Jones
Wait a second, bowie's most famous song isn't there.
Ryder Rogers
Why is there so little from the 90s, my man?
80s I can somewhat understand, but the 90s has a lot of underrated stuff.
Kayden Diaz
Love this
Landon Scott
>Queen
Asher Powell
Gonna start working on the guitar part tonight for Scary Monsters. Might take a while, will keep you posted.
Cameron Scott
inb4 Fripp traces your IP and sues you
Nolan Myers
i'll be waiting with my ticket stubs and legally owned albums
Ryan Martinez
Amazing song.
I love it all from start to finish but especially the middle section where you get flashbacks of his early 70s output
Jose Rodriguez
please use this, dong
Ethan Adams

Very good lad. I'm knocking around a few ideas for album art, this is a definite contender. Will definitely include it in the download or as the EP art or something at the very least
True, there are underrated songs from the 90s, but they still don't match his 70s work for me. Remember I based the track list off dozens of suggestions I got from emails too. If people want to suggest 90s songs I'm not opposed to fitting them in but I can't guarantee it either
One of his greatest ever songs for sure. Whoever claims it, please be really really fucking good. Or I'll be very disappointed. Same applies to Station To Station, my favourite Bowie song
Andrew Gomez
>claim album closer >start feeling the pressure
Nathaniel Peterson
I'm toying with the idea of rearranging the song order based on how the submissions sound, to try and get a better flow. Might put Lazarus last anyway for symbolic purposes but it's not definite
Colton Gutierrez
laughing gnome should be the closer, obviously
Owen Walker
>David Bowie is still dead I want off this ride
Noah Brown
next Sup Forums will cover Holland 1945 in 50 different genre styles and we will finally transcend to the other worldly patrician realms
Brayden Phillips
Looking at the sticky from when he died on the archive. Fuck that was an awful day.
Alexander Cook
>I'm not opposed to fitting them in but I can't guarantee it either Well just a few suggestions: Dead Man Walking, Jump They Say or Looking for Lester could probably replace one of the Low tracks.
Surprised Weeping Wall is there but not Subterraneans. Just noticed that...huh...
Whoever does Teenage Wildlife better do it fucking justice, same for Secret Life of Arabia
Jack Flores
I don't think so mate, it was off, I feel like it doesn't belong in the album, it doesn't feel like help, its alien to anything in the album, I just hope there will not be tracks like that in this album.
Jaxon Barnes
It was shit my dude
Lucas Roberts
Help is a good track but didn't really sound like it came from the album, while almost everyone tried to do a Lo-Fi Indie cover, the dude behind it tried to do some kind of Power Noise thing, overall the result was pretty solid even if it didn't fit
Jonathan Long
I was bored so I'm also fucking around with album art shit.
Nathan Campbell
This is art
Ryan Gomez
Changesbowie tier
Adrian Ortiz
I could sing pretty much any song from Ziggy Stardust, but I have absolutely zero instrumental skill. If anyone wants to collaborate on a song like Starman or Rock 'N' Roll Suicide or something, let me know.
Ryder Watson
I'M AN ALLIGATOR
Levi Harris
My personal favorite from Ziggy Stardust. That and Suffragette City.
Christian James
Is plunderphonics ok? Not doing something half-assed, of course.

Christian Turner
Is there a ballpark of when all tracks need to be done? Is this like The Meme Friends where we're trying to get them all done fast or do we have a few days?
Aiden Martinez
Uh maybe, samples might get us arse-fucked though like TDOP
Luke Butler
...
Kayden Jones
No time limit. The Beatles album took a month and a half, and although I'd like this to be a lot quicker, there is no set deadline or anything. As long as you let me know a rough date you can get it done by over email when you claim a song, I don't mind.
Joseph Wilson
nigga this is going to be awhile
Cooper Allen
I usually fuck with my samples so much they are unrecognizable. The only thing that would probably stay the same would be his voice.
I'm 100% for a The Next Day based cover.
William Young
>What TND cover should have been
Anthony Harris
After this, we'll do The Beach Boys, right?
RIGHT?
James Sanchez
Putting my trip back on to claim Blackstar
Eli Perry
no the Gerogerigegege is next
Ryder Ward
HAHA YOU IDIOT YOU GOTTA EMAIL HIM
Alexander Martin
Pretty cool
I'd rather someone sings the vocals than lift Bowie's own vocals
Not decided yet, but there's no need to wait for me. If people wanna make a Beach Boys album they're free to start a thread, could be pretty good
Colton Perez
KYS fucking imposter's. I'll grab Space oddity please Dong.
Tyler Walker
>Blaise qZFb79G0q6 epic
Sebastian Bennett
What about sampling his voice in one song to make him sing something else? I'm really good at that thanks to years of [spoiler]youtube poops[/spoiler]
Matthew Morris
:^)
Carter Gutierrez
I guess it could work, but for one it sounds like it would be a bit too silly, and also it loses some of the "Sup Forums covers" theme
Samuel Hall
Spoilers don't work on Sup Forums
Landon Thompson
Sean Paul cover album next, right?
Jonathan Murphy
>Spoilers don't work on Sup Forums It's the ">implication" of the spoiler
Oliver Adams
Eat a dick homo
Aaron Clark
Memes aside I'm not sure about another covers album directly after this Bowie one. I'd like to a shorter album of original compositions again at some point, like the old days and any other Sup Forums makes an album project. I definitely wanna keep doing covers albums in the future but I'd like some normal albums in between them too
Easton Jones
Well I could always grab a guitar and sing a song, but I don't feel it would be a proper homge to david. Ziggy played guitar, I do my thing, and my thing is quasi granular sampling
WELL WOMAN THE WAY TIME COLD I WANNA BE KEEPIN YOU WARM I GOT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FI SHELTER YOU FROM THE STORM
Jackson Evans
tune
Samuel Evans
I'll get started on the track tomorrow morning. Gonna take my time with it because I really want it to turn out well and its the first time I've committed myself to a project of this scope.
