I as going to sit here, and write some total twaddle about nothing in particular from today. I couldn't decide what to blog about! But then something hit me. Totally unexpected.
The other day, I discovered a bloke called MANNY GARCIA. He's on YouTube and Myspace and things, and is what I would classify as 'class'. He does a lot of Glee type things, a lot of Gaga covers, but does his own versions. He dubs over them, and him, and his piano can create a mass 5 part harmony. Its sublime stuff.
But that was last week, so why does that affect me today? I'll tell you why. Was sat here, finding a new song for myself and Billy to learn for our parody band FaithMore. We only do one track - its a Faithless cover. So I was hunting some bits down, and decided that Gaga A Capella covers wouldn't 'suit our vocal ranges' (in other words, they sounded poor, but then again, so do we!).
So I gave up hope, and had a look at Manny's page, in the hope something else had popped up. Then I found his 'Imagine' cover, and fell in love a little bit more. Yes, I know, two days running, but I'm a sucker for instruments and things. And no, that isn't innuendo.
But I loved it, and I think thats FaithMore's new track. All thanks to Manny Garcia. He'll be going to big things over the next 18 months or so, so keep an eye out!
MANNY GARCIA, you are the Day Dedicatee for Tuesday 23rd March 2010.
