If anyone else wants to get a last minute entry in, I won't get to compiling the list until tonight US time probably around 7pm PDT (about 8 hours from this posting.)

[Mike Lamb]

Thanks everyone for submitting their links for GoM - COVID-19 Special Edition! Official entrance is now closed, although anyone is of course free to cover any of these songs for any of the participants if you wish. I am pleased to announce we have rolled a natural 20 on participants! A critical success! I'll be sending out the matchups shortly, which I randomized via random.org.

[Mike Lamb]

If you have posted links here, you should now have a message in your PMs from me with your recipient! If you do not, please contact me ASAP.

Songs are due 5 April 2020 2359 US/PDT.

Oh gosh, some really good stuff I've never heard of before in my assignments. I'm excited to take one of these on! Hard part will be deciding which one to do.

[sleepysilverdoor]

Yay! This is going to be fun. Now I just have to decide exactly how to approach this cover...to play it straight or play around with structure/tempo/genre? Probably the latter.

[neutronflow]

Step 6. Send the cover to "mikelamb" at "sheepsound.com." Deadline is 5 April 2020 by 23:59 PDT.

Do you want the file actually attached to the email (like a Song Fight submission) or would a link to download the file work better? MP3s or is another format preferable?

Either is totally fine as long as I can easily obtain the file. MP3 or FLAC is fine.

[fluffy]

ugh my fibromyalgia has been flaring up again and I just can't focus on/produce music right now. hopefully I can dig myself out of this pain hole in time to get my cover finished (as more than just an idea in my head)

[sleepysilverdoor]

Well I hope you get to feeling better, fluffy! Anyway, I got my cover submitted. Can't wait to hear what everyone came up with!

[ujnhunter]

Good, fluffy was first... I'll take that extension too!

[Mike Lamb]

An extension is something of a time-honored tradition in these things Anyone else feeling like they need some more time? Already submitted tracks can always be re-submitted later. How about deliver the songs the 11th for a bunny-day reveal?

[sleepysilverdoor]

Works for me. I've had the hardest time getting a mixdown that I'm happy with...

[jb]

yesssss exteeeeeeend

[Mike Lamb]

For avoidance of doubt, consider the due date officially extended to 2359 Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) Saturday 11 April 2020. Songs will be posted the 12th.

[fluffy]

I mean I dunno if a week is going to be enough for my brain/body to stop failing on me long enough for me to record anything, but I'll give it my best shot
