CYDN Mint Chicks Cover

I quite adore this band.
Really only taught myself to play it yesterday so, as always, there are hiccups.. but I can never be bothered practising a song for ages.
I've been listening to the album again since my iPod has broken and this is one of the best CDs I own. I haven't even bought Screens yet, so to compensate I decided to do some acoustic renditions of my own. Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! seemed the easiest one to kick things off, Anika Moa once did a fantastic cover which I really like, but I would rather cover something more crazy, like You're Just As Confused As I Am or maybe even Silver Homeless Man, but I'm currently saving my money which makes it hard to get crack. That was a joke. Awesome.
I hope you like this kids.

That's brilliant and very much appreciated!! Yep, I made my youtube account when I was obsessed with Motocade's "My Friends" back in '07 I believe? Can't wait to try out this song and put my own spin on it. I may post a video if it's good enough... And maybe add that distortion pedal!

*Lafira, haha.

Oh man I just remembered to tell you today, I've moved out and don't have my piano anymore so I don't know if I'll be able to remember those chords. But they should be easy to figure out! I think there's an A7 in there somewhere, 3rd chord of the basic verse?

Anyway good luck :)

[motocadelover]

hey there Lafira I really enjoyed your piano cover of this song and would love to try it myself. Would you be able to give me the basic notes/chords? If not, I shall just continue to listen to your beautiful cover and try to figure it out myself.

@motocadelover

Oh also if you plan on supporting their tour you should add a really funky distortion pedal and maybe hire a rapper, that would be ultimate.

I like all your stairs.

and the singing and piano and stuff was awesome, too... but omg. Stairs.

[Lafira]

Hullo motocade lover! I saw Motocade at Homegrown [yesterday] and enjoyed them quite a lot.

That would be my pleasure, I haven't played it for 5 months but tomorrow if I have time I'll re-figure it out for you.

Thanks for the kind words, your appreciation makes this video worth the spontaneous decision to post. :)

I am pretty slack, it's true.

Thankyou for the well-wish! It was 3.12am when you sent it and I believe I was chowing down on some drunken Maccas. Braw as hell. I hope you (are) enjoy(ing) yours! Sweet year, this one.

[AlanAndrewTaylor]

@Lafira Just got your message, thought you had sent it ages ago as it was through my old account but I noticed that it was only four days ago! Have a great new year, 2010 is going to be great, not sure what the time is where you are but have a braw time.

Chur! Mm, it is a bit more 'my old look before I consented to hair modelling', but I much prefer it too.
