TIM AND ERIC MIDI JAM SERIES
This is Volume 6 of another series that I don’t know. 6 of the same series, but indeed it is not. Wonder Woman: Volume 6: BonesĪfter reading the Sensation Comics book of Wonder Woman short stories I was intrigued to read this book.

I’m curious to hear what these sound like on record–is there more to them? But the three other guys really flesh out the song. And this song is just Milne on guitar and lead vocals. The harmonies on the final song “Like a Fool” are the best yet with multiple parts. But the harmonies (ahhs and ahhs and the repeating of the lyrics) elevate everything. “Apple Pie Bed” has a more conventional structure–very rock and roll.

He likes how it sounds so different in America (in New Zealand ChAHnt DAHrling) in America ChEHnt darlin’ (with a southern accent). Milne says that he was in a covers band called The Chant Darlings.

And then the trumpeter delicately wipes it up with a tissue.īefore the third song, Bob asks about the album title, Chant Darling. The trumpeter says it is condensation which makes Bob laugh. At the end of the song, Bob thanks him for dropping the spit on the floor. And then the electric guitarist now plays a gentle trumpet solo (thoughtfully facing away from the microphone). The lyrics are amusing: “They love each other, but they hate each other, they’re afraid of each other because they want to screw each other.” There’s some more lovely harmonies (dah dah dahs). But he overcomes that with some nice humming. “The Beautiful Young Crew” opens with Milne saying he had a morning voice problem and it isn’t as deep as it should be. Thus Lead singer/guitarist James Milne and tambourine player have nice beards, but the shaker player has an amazingly thick beard. The blurb only gives me the name of the lead singer (as the band is his and he says it is “his” album), so for everyone else I have to resort to instruments. Of course, with percussion provided by a shaker egg and tambourine, it’s impressive that they can get as rocking as they do. I also like the way the bridge ratchets up the songs from the early country vibe to a more rocking feel. “I’ve Smoked Too Much” has some lovely “Do Do Doo’s” and the “ooohs” behind the second verse are just perfect. I don’t know what their album sound is like, but in this Tiny Desk, they play a sort of country folk. Meanwhile, check out some of these clips of midijam in action that people have posted on youtube.SOUNDTRACK: LAWRENCE ARABIA-Tiny Desk Concert #75 (August 23, 2010). Then you can open them in MidiJam and enjoy the midi visualization “on steroids.”
TIM AND ERIC MIDI JAM DOWNLOAD
You can then go to and download as many free midi files as you want (there’s other directories out there too, just google “midi directory”).
TIM AND ERIC MIDI JAM HOW TO
I had a hard time figuring out how to bring a midi file of my choice into the program (…you just actually drag the midi file to the midijam.exe icon but the “readme.txt” file covers all that). It’s a little old school and not as user-friendly as I’d like but it’s decent. Same with drums, horns, strings… ANYTHING!ĭownload the program and mess around with it. If there is a bass present, you’ll see the bass plucking real notes too. So the piano plays the actual piano notes that are being heard in the midi file. (screen shot of van basco karaoke’s virtual piano)īut what I want to talk about is MidiJam, which takes midi visualization to a whole new level! It actually takes the actual instruments that are in the midi file and shows them playing REAL notes. You can even slow stuff down and transpose to any key of your choice. You just load your midi program through Van Basco and voila, the notes are displayed on your screen in a little graphical piano. It’s great for learning how to play any song, if there’s a midi file available for it on the net. You’re probably familiar with Van Basco Karaoke, which takes your midi file and displays it on a piano screen. Ok, so I’m on the net and I come across this post about a free program that visualizes your midi files in a whole new way.
