SC2 Session#12 - If You Knew Susie...
Paul and Susie...awww...how sweet!
We were fortunate to have the vocal talents of Susie Hobday as a special guest for the backing on
Smacked Down By Steely Dan! Rikki Please Lose My Number!
Just got word in that the publishers of Steely Dan's lyrics refused permission for us to record our Blues version of Dirty Work for our upcoming EP 'Spacejunk'.
Bummer.
For those of you (like me) new to the arcane world of publishing rights, you cant just willy-nilly record other peoples stuff because its:
A: Uncool
B: legally actionable
In order to record a 'cover' you need to obtain licensing from one of the relevant bodies (in Australia see www.apra.com.au). Its pretty easy.
However, if your 'version' of the song differs materially from the original (as ours did, musically) then you are no longer in cover territory, you are in 'Derivative Works' territory, a grey area from whose bourne few (independant) travellers return!
Mal gets His TV Back!
Stormcellar Bass Player Emeritus Mal Forrester today recovered his portable TV from a hock shop, approximately twelve months after it was stolen from his car (along with his car, jacket, mobile phone, ect etc).
This item was stolen by the same people who stole and torched Mal's car whilst we were on stage at an undisclosed location down south.
Mal has reported the matter to the authorities and is greatly looking forward to them tracking down the !^()*()# who stole and torched his wagon.
Mr Forrester was quoted as saying 'Did they hock me leather jacket too?', but unfortunately they had not.
