Can't find White Wedding Cover Info

October 1, 2009 8:30 PM

Used a program to fix my mp3 tags and file names, now I can't find the real musician behind a "White Wedding" cover I'm 90% sure I got on MeFi Music.

Singer is male, pace is slow, introspective, guitar, banjo tambourine. Since I'm not 100% I got it here, I don't want to post a link to it. Also, if it was removed for a reason, I don't want to re-upload it and anger the musician.

Debated putting this in talk, but since it may be from somewhere else, I thought I'd give this a go.

Any chance it's by The Harvey Girls? I have their cover of it in my iTunes. No idea why, to be honest.

Mystery solved. Went to the file to make an excerpt of it, found out it was an m4a file, which meant it was ripped from CD.

That kick-started my brain and I found the CD--it was from a MeFi Swap, Spring 2007. So I was only half-wrong.

The artist is Whip.

You can hear the song on his myspace.

Now if I could only remember who sent it to me... (Obligatory Cover Mix and More Fun, two CDs!)

I can address 2oh1's comment- you probably have it because almost all members of the Harvey Girls were mefites at the time of that recording, one of which was cortex. I don't remember how the recording turned out, but live it was ghostly and beautiful.

However, the vocals on it were female.
