Somebody That I Used To Know

Week 35 (sorta kinda...)

So, I started a little Twitter contest last week. The stipulations were that the first five Twitter followers to post about my blog then request a tune, would have their song wish granted! And the first winner is... (drums drums drums crack!) Mrs. Jessica Masanotti! This girl has been following along and supporting this project from the get go. I am so thankful for her encouraging words and playful jabs throughout the process. Thanks for being awesome, Jess.

The song Jessica requested is "Somebody That I Used To Know," by Gotye. It features Kimbra on vocals, as well. I covered one of her songs a while back! Check it out over here (christopherkincaid.blogspot.com/2012/07/week-27.html) Jessica had a second part to her request. It was that my sweetheart, Rachael had to sing Kimbra's vocal part. Sounds good to me! We had fun tracking this. My favorite thing about it was, after the recording session, I got to make out with the talent! Bango! Let us know what you think!

Enjoy,

Christopher

Recorded Sept 4-5, 2012. Rachael Rebecca Brown Kincaid sang and played the rhythmic cups. If you don't know what they are, you're missing out. Go for a tutorial over at KincaidParade.com.
Yesterday, Rachael and I took all the kids out for lunch. We ate at one of our favorite Thai places. I, as usual, got the #74 Spicy Green Curry with tofu (hotness level 3 out of 5.) My oldest, Lucas had never eaten Thai food before so he was trying all of the different dishes. When he tried mine, he said "Why would you get that? It's too hot to even enjoy!" I laughed. A few minutes later, I accidentally inhaled some rice that was covered in the spicy sauce. When I coughed to dislodge the rice, it went straight up into my nasal passage. It was the hottest burning sensation I have ever felt. My eyes started to water like a mountain stream. It took a minute, but I finally got it out. Rachael made sure I was ok, then chuckled at me. I told you this story because I recorded the vocals soon afterward. My nose was all kinds of stuffy from the incident. Sorry about that.
Also, I payed homage to my amazing Klean Kanteen in this one. It has been through thick and thin with me. I took a sip from it while I was tracking vocals. I love that thing so much that I left it in the song. Haha. It has a sports cap on it, so when you drink from the pop top, it sounds kinda like a turkey gobbling. That's all for now, (Klean Kanteen, send me free stuff, please! I'll record a theme song for you, if you do)
