It's deadline day. Anyone else who wants in has about five hours to make their selections before I start giving out assignments.

I think this is going to be an interesting year. I think this is the largest collection of GOM choices that I've never heard of ever.

I still want in! I'll get my picks in tonight! It will be a little longer than 5 hours, but my gifter can catch up a few hours later.

Ah yeah, this year I am plumbing the uncovered songs from my previous years, and focusing on oldies and folk. I'd especially like to hear a cover in a different style from the original, but that of course is up to the coverer :)

Gordon Lightfoot - "Sundown"


Frankie Valli - "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"


The Kingston Trio - "M.T.A."


Gene Chandler - "Duke of Earl"

Sending out the assignments now. Tell me if you get any repeats from previous years. It was all set up by random number generators so it could happen.

Well, I got my assignment, so I know I'm in. Here are my choices (apologies for the tardiness):

Sunbrain - Gravity
British Sea Power - Who's In Control?
Swervedriver - Duel
And You Will know Us By the Trail of Dead - Worlds Apart

I'd love to hear someone take on of these and make it their own! Happy gifting!

I saw all the songs, and there was one that stood out, took me back 40 years to playing air guitar on a tennis racket with my dad singing this song. I said oh please, oh please, and today I was fortune enough to get the assignment. It's a song that has been in my head it feels like my whole life. I hope I do it justice.

I have to say my assignment terrifies me. Four great songs, all of which are entirely challenging to my limited abilities. Oof. I shall have to bring the ol' A game, for sure (well, *my* A-game at least). Can't wait!

Mine's submitting as we speak - I really like it, which is usually a bad sign ...
