Watch "Sea of Love' - John Phillip Baptiste video clip

Social Sound Systemhttp://www.myspace.com/socialsoundsystem"Sea of Love" was originally written by John Phillip Baptiste working as a bellboy in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for a love interest. Baptiste was soon introduced to local record producer George Khoury, who brought Baptiste into his studio to record the song. At Khoury's request, Baptiste took the stage name of Phil Phillips. The song, originally credited to "Phil Phillips with The Twilights," was released on a small record label owned by Khoury, but due to its success was eventually leased to Mercury Records. Despite the song's success, Phillips claims that he has only ever received $6,800 for recording it.(Above from Wikipedia)I digress... I'm still stuck on the Juno soundtrack and figured I'd mess around with this song using my Boss Space Echo pedal and Line 6 POD Pro rackmount. The combination of the Echo with the Delay/ Swell came out really interesting. Kinda reminded me of floating in a sea like in the movies where the body is just drifting there... To the abyss in a sad paradox. But you should hear when I play my eBow thru it! Madness. I have some Cat Power albums on my external hard drive but never seriously listened to her (or any of the numerous albums). Most of the time I listen to Pandora.com rather than make a playlist or pick an album because it's much more random and unpredictable.My voice is off here and there, but I figure it's REAL.
