Joey Cape

[CellarGhosts]

Fuck yes:

Hi there. Well, I finally finished my acoustic album.

Throughout the past 2 years I would work on it from time to time for short periods but I could never quite complete it. I lost major portions of the record to drive failures and insufficient back up. Many songs on this record were tracked entirely, then guitar or vocals were re-recorded, and eventually the whole song was trashed and re-tracked. It seems funny now. It was hard to let go. It's hard to commit to the idea that your "work in progress" will be forever set in stone. I began to think I couldn't finish it. I felt like the boy who cried wolf, telling friends and the label it was near completion over and over.
Well, I woke up about a month ago and decided I would give myself an actual deadline that would prevent me from further obsessing and a 2 weeks later it was done. The strange part of all this is, now that it is done, I'm not sure how to feel. It is my first attempt at making a solo record, something I am totally unfamiliar with. I know this, I will never make a record this way again. From now on, no second guessing or obsessing. Ultimately, I am proud of this record. I made something I like and it's time to move on. I hope most of you will appreciate it.
I have decided to call it "Bridge". I think the musical metaphor is appropriate because it is something new for me and it will lead me to another place as a songwriter, weather it be a better appreciation of my craft or the butt of another songwriter's joke. Either way, I'm on my way.
I have a label in Europe (Bad Taste Records) that plans to release it in October.

:excited:


and yes, this/the man deserved his own thread.

New Lagwagon AND Caper solo stuff in the same year? I'm shocked. And offended. And by offended I mean stoked.

Ohhh, nice! I forgot I had even uploaded that for you haha. My memory must be hazy.

the Caper can do no wrong.

[ugman_2000]

Can't wait for this I loved the acoustic split he did a while back with tony sly

[CellarGhosts]

that acoustic split is probably one of my favorite things ever.

[versus_god]

I just wanted to have three Joey Cape threads on the first page.

[chipdip18]

Good call!

[CellarGhosts]

good call indeed!

[versus_god]

His song on the Hanuk-Comp was high five what? City.

So does anybody have any idea of what any of the songs are on his new CD? Any acoustic versions or all new?

I hope those are re-recorded versions of Canoe and Non Sequitur, as I love both of those as Afterburner songs but I'd love even more to hear new versions ha.

[versus_god]

I'm assuming that they are, and that they will be fan-fuckin'-tastic.

[Chris Fallon]

I have an erection right now just thinking about it.

I hope someone reads this, imagines that and then gets one, too.

Where's Kirbie? lol

[CellarGhosts]

hahahaha, I love how Kirbie was the person who popped into your head with that post.

[Chris Fallon]

I imagined him having the most homoerotic response hahaha

Considering he wrote those long, in-depth fantasies about band members having sex with each other hahaha

[versus_god]

Those weren't Kirbie's!

[CellarGhosts]

Hahaha, yeah, he didn't write those Chris. :-D But I wouldn't be surprised if he had. Well, maybe I would....Maybe.

[Chris Fallon]

I thought he claimed them as his own .... BANT!

Joey Cape > drugs.

[CellarGhosts]

Joey Cape > most things

[Chris Fallon]

:nod:

[CellarGhosts]

more Caper appreesh?

[chipdip18]

HECK YES! Joey Cape is quite a talent musican and songwriter. I don't know how he manages so many bands at once. I bet he has at least 100 songs floating around his head all the time.

[versus_god]

I just noticed that a lot of the songs on his solo album are also on the new Lagwagon EP.

[Chris Fallon]

I guess we're getting acoustic, stripped down versions and full-tilt, ball-blasting versions.

Only one month! I pray this leaks before I head home so I can at least review the sucker.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh man, if either one of those leak I will be distraught haha. I don't know how long I'd be able to last. But then again, I managed to hold out for both Alkaline Trio and The Hold Steady so I think I'd survive. But damn - I can't wait!

[versus_god]

When either of these leak I'm going to download them so hard.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, it's going to be so sweet having Lagwagon versions of those 5 songs and then Joey's acoustic versions.

[chipdip18]

I will download these, and i dislike downloading things.

[Genuma]

I'll download them and send them to every email I can find when they leak.

[CellarGhosts]

I'll not download them and wait for them like a good model citizen.

Someone's here for you, John.

I learned today that The Academy Is > Joey Cape

Kid B in that thread about the new TAI album. I think he was just being sarcastic and trying to get a reaction (which he did) but if not, then he fails harder than any n00b ever could.

I keep gettnig Kid_B and that other person with "Kid" in their username mixed up.

Oh I think his solo album will be awesome, maybe not like BA because I think it's an acoustic album.

I love Lagwagon tons, but I do think BA might be his best work too.

Sadly, yes. But the Caper solo album levels it all out haha.

So much leveling. I'd love to see Joey play solo one of these days.

Same, same. Apparently my best friend's cousin saw him play an acoustic show last month sometime, and this is the same guy who is friends with Tony Sly & friends. Lucky bastard!

[versus_god]

And he didn't take you? What a dick! haha.

If I had the money I'd totally go to Denver to see him in September. Totally. I guess I'll just have to wait to see Lagwagon though.

Haha, well this was out in California, so yeah - that's a ways off from the land of corn and the colts ;-)

Oh yeah, that'd own house, all kinds of it. I really hope I can see Lagwagon soon. Rly.

[versus_god]

Haha, alright. I'll let that one slide.

I'm so incredibly excited about seeing Lagwagon. The 'Wagon and MxPx played a huge part in getting me into punk rock and music in general.

You've gotta see them so that we can compare the high five city.

let it fall, let it rise, let it be and let it slide.

so it's Tony Sly but whatever, they did a split together. don't accuse me!

Oh man, I love that intro on Owen Meany, and the rest of the song is great too. The only problem I have with Let's Talk About Feelings is that it feels so short! haha. I start listening to it and it's over suddenly. But the songs are all win-age so I can't complain.
