This week’s release is a pretty stripped down take. I was initially thinking I would just do a straight acoustic guitar cover, but after noodling around with some tones I settled in on this one that’s just lead guitar and acoustic rhythm and 1 lone vocal. Listen to Jimmy Eat World’s original recording first: And now here’s mine: I’ll admit I haven’t yet heard Jimmy … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Please Say No

Listen to the episode now on Spotify or read on for the official transcript below: Official Transcript: This episode’s a little delayed after I was having some trouble with my Pro Tools software out of the blue last week where it locked me out entirely.

Listen to the episode now on Spotify or read on for the official transcript below: Official Transcript: The other day I overheard some women talking about Valentine’s Day.

Listen to the episode now on Spotify or read on for the official transcript below: Official Transcript: I remember coming across No Sensitivity for the first time kind of randomly while watching other videos – it just sort of popped up.

We’re taking some risks this year with our upcoming cover song releases starting with an ominous and somewhat creepy “In The Same Room” that had us experimenting with synth pads, weird string instruments and peculiar vocal effects. I’m really not a keys player (I literally have to google chord shapes every time I’m about to try something on these recordings) but I have to say … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: In The Same Room
With the new release format, I might jump back and fourth a bit between releases and these blogs. Just ahead of Christmas 2022 I low-key put Littlething out on Static Unveiled, and then later Instagram, so you might’ve already heard it but we haven’t really talked about it yet. Before we poke through those lyrics, listen to Jimmy Eat World’s original recording first: And now … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Littlething
Just a couple thoughts on Christmas and the way I was brought up to celebrate it. Today’s episode features my cover of Invented’s “Littlething” and our response to Jimmy Eat World’s cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. This is the last podcast episode of 2022; thanks very much for listening so far and I’ll see ya back in the new year. Official Transcript: I have this … Continue reading Static Unveiled S1 E11: Littlething
I’ll be honest, when “Something Loud” arrived suddenly earlier this year I didn’t expect to try a cover of it so soon. For the first time since starting this project, it was one song that I couldn’t quite place my own personal spin on since it lyrically focuses on things that I couldn’t possibly relate to. Well, one lyric, anyway, and sometimes it’s just one … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Something Loud
Hot off the heels of our first Jimmy Eat World exclusive covers livestream (which you can watch the archive of in case you missed it!) I’m taking a moment to reflect on one of my longest friendships – the one I’ve had with this band and their albums. Today’s episode is “Appreciation”. Official Transcript: On the weekend I did my first Jimmy Eat World covers … Continue reading Static Unveiled: S1 E10 – Appreciation
