[Song of the Week is a "weekly" feature which is supposed to update every Thursday, but almost never does. In it, Drew records a song, or attempts to record a song, or gives up and writes another movie review.]
"Effect & Cause"*:
*(I spell it with an "&", so you know it's not the original).
This one's pretty self-explanatory. It's just a straight cover of this song.
... and then I lost my entire post. Goddamned Blogger.
...what I tried to say was something like, don't tune your guitar B-E-A-D-G#-B, but I managed to sneak in the words "perfect fourth" to show my musical knowledge, because you fall out of tune before even finishing the song. This was going to be paired with another song, which is why the quality is kind of low (I wanted to keep things lo-fi and record in only a couple takes). Turns out that song is really hard to play, as was my third choice. I was worried this cover would technically be illegal. My last cover counted as a parody, and thus protected speech, this one maybe not. I don't think the White Stripes care too much about covers, though.
There. Imagine that but about twice as long, split into three separate paragraphs, and you have my original post.
DOWNLOADABLE VERSION:
Rerelease Notes: This is a wholly new recording, which was super hard & took like forever. It's much better though. You'll hear most of the differences yourself.
