Sooo: Firedrill is amazing, but some of the most amazing Vic Sandman singing I’ve ever heard comes from his time with both the Hyannis Sound and the BU Dear Abbeys.

Dear Abbeys – Baba O’reilly – A Must hear. I don’t even know how old Vic is in this song, but he can’t be over 20. I can’t find it on youtube. if anyone has a video of it, let me know. It’s allso on Abbeys Road.

Hyannis Sound – Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – Vic is a freaking GENIUS on this. He makes me die. Gospel U2! Also featured on nytimes.com, I believe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pV1IUItTUY

And keeping on the Hyannis Sound kick – because currentlt they are one of my top 5 groups in aca – check out Micah Christian singing “I can’t Make You Love Me” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sthvWWkdoM

Jim: The intro for “Song Suggestion” is the classic big band piece “Sing, Sing, Sing” as performed by BYU Vocal Point off their 2008 album Nonstop. That high tenor is David Anderson, a killer arranger and great friend of mine.

oh ps. I am so in love with Firedrill!’s “If I Ain’t Got You,” too …Vic Sandman’s voice gives me chills. The good kind.

And funny thing, is… I’ve heard some of the same riffs in some other group’s arrangements of this song. It’s just that good, that other groups want to imitate their version.

Hey Lauren,

That “Virtual Insanity” clip is actually just a couple friends of mine who did it themselves. They just like recording, and this collaboration (across many miles, never in the same studio) was kind of a learning experience for them. Even though it wasn’t meant to be a commercial success or anything, their friends keep begging them for it!

Ok so geeky little me may or may not be doing a research project on Jamiroquai’s music being covered a cappella. Sooooo….if you would be so kind to point me towards what group does that “Virtual Insanity” from the intro clip you played before “Podcast Update”, I would pretty much love you both more than I already do…which is a lot btdubs.

Danke!
Lo

P.S. If you guys know aaaany other versions of “Virtual Insanity” “Cosmic Girl” or “Canned Heat” that you don’t assume I already have…please tell me!!!
