So, I figured I would keep a running record right here, along with my ideas for the instruments I would need to play each song as I envision them in my skull:
- Annie's Song (John Denver) -- Double-neck Bass/Guitar, with eBow
- Hunger Strike (Temple of the Dog) -- Atari Synthcart, Mandolin (through guitar fx and tube amp)
- Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) -- Concertina, Atari Synthcart, X-Station & Vocoder
- Yesterday (Beatles) -- Casio SK-5 keyboard, AirFX, Bass guitar
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Beatles) -- Theremin, Atari
- Rocket (Smashing Pumpkins) -- Concertina, Atari, DD-55
- Mayonaise (Smashing Pumpkins) -- I don't know, I just love this song
- This Charming Man (The Smiths) -- This song is pure perfection as it is... I don't want to change anything, but I wouldn't mind learning Johnny Marr's jangly riffs, plus the bass lines in this sound super fun
- What Difference Does it Make? (The Smiths) -- Atari, Bass
- It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Dylan/Van Morrison) -- Casio SK-5, DD-55 drums
- Two Points for Honesty (Guster) -- Atari & Novation X-Station
(notice that I basically kept every song minimal, to only 2 instruments in general? Well, if I am playing by myself... that's the most I could possibly handle! A Roland PK-5 will come in handy to control any MIDI instruments -- the X-Station, Atari, or DD-55)
I also have a few mash-ups planned, although not sure if I have the software I need to easily isolate vocals, music, frequencies, etc:
- Crystal Method & Us3
- Peter, Bjorn, and John & Ali B's Y4K
Remixes:
- If I Am (Nine Days) -- Totally electro remix
- Gabriel & Dresden
- BT

did you know that Death Cab does a "This Charming Man" cover, its alright, the part where the like bass or whatever comes in is a little weird and Ben Gibbards voice isn't the same as Morrisey's but its not bad. It actually doesn't seem like it would be that hard to play.
Oh yeah, and one more... The Boys of Summer by Don Henley
