I think I'll also vote for the "drop-R" Walruses logo, because, as DIY said, it's symbolic, and I think that as soon as you see the logo, you know right away the music will be Beatles-related.

So, yeah, I vote for DIY's version of trinary's logo. What do you think, Techno?

Yay, thanks my loyal friend 

I have opened accounts on media sites, so once our music's complete, they'll be ready to be posted on the respecive sites.

That's great! 

It seems we're probably going to be going with DIY's logo. 

But, first, maybe we should hear Necro's decision (who I still haven't gotten a reply from, unfortunately).

I'm finally getting familiar with the song's bassline. Paul played lots of fills - I probably won't get all of them in my track, since every musician has it's own style in the first place, but I'll still try to throw some of the most noticeable fills here and there, and try not to add fills of my own as to keep it as similar to the original track as possible. Definitely recording tomorrow.

@DIY - I don't know. I think we've done everything we can, but I'll try to think up some other ways of contacting him tonight.

@techno - Excellent! Looking forward to hearing your output!

Yeah, if you can think of any other way, that'll give us some hope. I've tried on the forums and the main site. Maybe if a different person like you keeps trying, he won't see it as possibly 'nagging'?

@ techno: I do understand being a bassist myself that people tend to have different styles. I've noticed the contrast between your's and my style in our Frozen Coco songs. So long as you are faithful to the original and don't deviate too much from the original, it's fine.

Great track! Now we just needs vocals and drums 

Thank you both for your compliments, can't wait to hear the finished version of the cover. I don't even like the Beatles and the song is already stuck in my head from listening so much to it

I know right? I made some Beatles music videos on Scratch, and I must have listened to those songs at least a hundred times while making it...

DIY is currently on vacation, he'll start mixing Here Comes the Sun when he comes back. He counted on me to tell you guys. 

We only need someone to sing the song, and Necromaster to post his drum tracks again, am I right?

That's right! Vocals are done by one of the band members, not by a separate lead vocalist, so we just need to decide who should sing the song (we haven't figured out yet who should sing George's songs). I'm starting to have my doubts, however, if Necro will reply at all to my comment. In fact, it seems he's been inactive around the entire site recently. Let's hope we didn't have anything to do with it.

If you want it, here's the SVG of DIY's logo.

It downloads as walruses.svg.txt, rename it to walruses.svg (make sure you have file appends set to visible). 

Thanks techno for telling everyone here about my short trip to the countryside as I said. 

I am glad to hear the bass track done and it is a pretty good attempt at McCartney's original track. I like the fact that it sounds much cleaner on your bass. If only we had Necro's drum track...

Anyway, I'll try getting to mixing this weekend now that I'm back. Had a fantastic time up country, making possible compostitions for FC on my acoustic! 

I'll have another go at contacting Necro, although you are right All4one; he has not had any activity on the site in the past few days. I'd suggest you keep trying too. Hopefully he'll be pressured to upload the drums for Here Comes the Sun at least. Then we can release it as our first single.

Thanks for the svg, trinary. I suppose that's our logo, so I will upload it as our avatar on the media sites on which I have created accounts for The Walruses.

Yeah, I think we have a winner regarding our band logo.    I'll put it in my sig right now.

Meanwhile, I'll try one more time to contact Necro, and if he doesn't reply within a week, I think we may have to remove him from our roster.    Let's hope he'll reply, and let's also hope that we can weasel the drum track from him.

Yeah, sounds good about the drum tracks.

I'll insert my sig later since I'm going to use my current one gor a while.

I may build a more stylish bitmap from the logo for my sig.

I know, it does look kinda plain. So long as you don't do anything to the text of it (I suppose you could change the background of it with maybe a pschedelic image) it should ba fine. It should resemble our logo closely, yet it is fine if you stay faithful to the original text.
