Clayzy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I have my CITH recommendations!! My song was Where Are You Christmas. I thought jojoct's in Kalamazoo had the best audio, but it was in WMV-format only and included the whole story (vignette?). It was very clear, very good in terms of volume, a great, great performance with no hollow/echoing quality that some other versions had. My runners-up are: Scarlett's Merrillville recording b/c of the small amount of crowd noise at the beginning, the good quality and volume, and the good vocals. Very good ending by Quiana, as well. spotlightlover's Minneapolis recording. It had some crowd noise at the beginning, covering up the first word or so. Still, I thought it had very good quality, if a little quiet, but great vocals. Very powerful and very delicate. I liked it a lot. Hope that's everything necessary! Quote
luckiest1 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 clayzycoffin, that is awesome! Thank you so much for doing that. I will make the mp3s and get them uploaded to the FCA media site. Quote
Clayzy Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 I really am a workaholic when it comes to listening to Clack (or even Qlack!)... Do you want me to do any more recommendations? Quote
luckiest1 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 Well, at this point they are all still assigned, but if there is anyone out there who would like to give their duty away, please let me know. Quote
jmh123 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 I think I felt a spork this morning. Anyway, I thought it was about time I finished. This one was hard. First, there are many excellent recordings of this gorgeous performance. I had to find some way to weed some of them out, so one criteria I used was coughing. The song is so quiet, and in the quiet intro in many versions there was loud coughing. Also because the song is so quiet, in some really great versions you could hear someone's camera running or beeping (probably someone standing next to the videographer), so I eliminated those too. For the #1 choice, it's a tie: 071208_Poughkeepsie_WTOW_vzubie 071222_Merrillville_WTOW_spotlightlover #2 - 071207_Albany_WTOW_xxx4clay Many people loved Albany because he was crying, and it was speculated that this is about when he found out Jaymes was pregnant. Whatever the reason, it's a poignant performance. (I think there might be a little crying in Poughkeepsie too, which was the next day.) #3 - 071202_DC_WTOW_4192spooky The orchestra in DC was amazing, and this is a great recording and performance too. Honorable mention to: 071127_StLouis_WTOW_clayheaven 071128_SoBend_WTOW (ShyGirl, jojoct, dlh777) 071202_DC_111_WTOW_mime_fan 071206_NB_WTOW_toni7babe 071206_New Brunswick_WWIAK&WTOW_jojoct 071207_Albany_WTOW (gerwhisp and jojoct) 071208_Poughkeepsie_WTOW (canfly172, jojoct, and xxx4clay 071222_Merrillville_WTOW (canfly172, dlh777, Invisible926, Scarlett, and xxx4clay) Quote

ldyjocelyn Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks jmh -- I've been waiting until your recommendations to get WTOW on my iPod. Can't wait! Quote
luckiest1 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 spotlightlover's Minneapolis recording. It had some crowd noise at the beginning, covering up the first word or so. Still, I thought it had very good quality, if a little quiet, but great vocals. Very powerful and very delicate. I liked it a lot. Ok, I am finally getting around to uploading these mp3s to the media site, and I need to know which Minneapolis, as there were two nights. Dec 19th or Dec 20th? Quote

luckiest1 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks! The media site has been updated with the two latest recommendations and links to mp3s. Quote
jmh123 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Please add 071220_Minneapolis_WTOW_Solo&Scarlett to the WTOW downloads on FCA media when you get a chance, luckiest1. I don't know why I didn't choose this one--someone coughing probably, or a chatterer or a loud camera nearby--but Scarlett loves this one and I trust her judgment. So please add it!! Thanks. Quote
Clayzy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Wootage! *runs off to download some Christmas music... and listen to it... in March* ETA: Oh, and I forgot, were some of the songs reassigned? I think it was about the time Gary decided to putz out on me and I couldn't download anything. Quote
luckiest1 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 FearofH20 has kindly offered to take over MDYK for ansa. I believe that everyone else is working on their assignment, with the exception of ialreadyam, who I haven't heard from. She hasn't posted here since last November, but I am not sure if she is still interested in doing WWIAK. Does anyone know? Are you interested in doing it clayzycoffin? As for me, I've taken over SSTBTHW from the DCAT (summer 2007) tour, since it's the only one not finished. Quote
Clayzy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Sure, I can do that. I can handle both girls! Quote
luckiest1 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 Hee, that sounds a little dirty. I like it! Thanks! Quote
