1. I am REALLY excited with how good the music is turning out for the song Rachael is covering.

2. If anyone needs anything from Rachael's list or mine, Let Niveous know, he will let me know, I will upload them temporarily for you.

ROCK!

I am glad to see you say that, because I was already considering doing multiple songs from the list that I have, and Rachael probably will from hers too.

I am REALLY happy with how her first one is turning out. I just need her vocals now, but I am quite satisfied with the music arrangement myself.

ROCK!

the idea had occurred to me too, since i'm having trouble picking between a couple of them. but i guess step one would to be to do one of them first before worrying about multiples! also i've got the barenaked coverthingy to concern myself with, and a couple of other projects on the honeydew list...

This week was insane so to make things a little easier....

Hey Feldspar,
I need the Linnell & Malkmus mp3's

Hey Glenn,
Send some Julianna Hatfield asap.

Hey Reve,
Send me all your mp3s.

Hey Jack Shite,
Send me all your mp3s.

Hey J$,
all your mp3s are needed.

Hey Neil,
I need Operation Ivy & Ben Folds mp3s.

Hey Eddie,
I need the Sting mp3.

OK, that just saved me the trouble of a bunch of PMs. As for the due date, I've got to double check with Eddiebangs, but I'm thinking the 21st. It's after Hanukkah and before Christmas, Kwanzaa & Boxing Day. It's the Winter Solstice. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Hahaha! You're telling me the person who got me doesn't know Denis Denis? Are they gifted, or something?

Very well, you'll have to wait until Monday, mystery song-buddy. But you shall have them then.

That would be rather awesome, if it's not too much trouble. I just found my copy last night, but (1) it's on cassette tape, and (2) I don't have a cassette player that works anymore, other than in the car. I suppose I could mic the inside of the car and play the tape... heh heh...
