The unconventional rockers of Deerhoof are at it again, and they're spreading the word: Sharing is caring, people. Sharing is caring.
Prior to releasing Offend Maggie (TMT Review) in October 2008, the band provided sheet music to "Fresh Born," allowing and encouraging musically-inclined fans to submit their own versions of the song (TMT News).
Indeed, Deerhoof embraces your artistic talents, and as a follow up to "Fresh Born," these guys are offering you -- that's right, you -- another chance to show your musical chops. This time they've provided everything you need to make your very own "Buck And Judy" track. According to Indaba Music:
The Challenge... In Two PartsPart 1. Deerhoof's offering a sheet music arrangement of "Buck and Judy", as well as tabs showing exactly how Deerhoof played the two guitar parts and bass part. This way you can play parts of the song yourselves. Replace one of the instruments or add an entirely new one. When you're ready, add your contribution to the tracks section.
Part 2. Deerhoof has already uploaded the drums, bass, two guitars, piano, and vocal from their recording of the song. Use any combination of the uploaded stems (from Deerhoof or any other Indaba member) to create your version of the song. Post the finished version to the mixdown section!
To get your creative juices flowing, I suggest you add the "Buck And Jucky" video to your Saturday morning cartoons. Now, get to writing some music!
