I’ve no idea how this passed me by, but my second Nerdcore Justin Timberlake song went unmentioned by this blog. So, here it is.

The story behind this was: after the completely unexpected response to my cover of Friday, I thought I’d build something for submission to the 2012 Pwnie awards. I was going for a more serious effort this time. I was much happier with the result of this than with the last one.

And it went over like a lead balloon, and no traffic came to the site when I published it, and that was that. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.

Two notes:

1. This is the only song I’d ever recorded with a fretless bass that I was borrowing from a friend and that I had restored to this recordable condition. I miss that bass; it really sounded great.

2. This arrangement is not mine in the least: I lifted it from Lake Street Dive’s cover of Faith. Support that band (Venmo or Paypal) cause they’re amazing.
