This song was way beyond my level of musical competency - but I reckon I gave it a fair crack. I hope you realise how much it pained me to go beyond the sort of 3 chord songs I am comfortable with. THough I did all I could to drag this song down to my level.

Whelp, I may have to be late for the first time, but the hope is that the lateness will ameliorate some suckage problems. :)

It's plodding on its way to finished-ness, in any case.

Done, done, done. My usual collaborator and fine friend Andy Balham has added some acoustic colour to an otherwise electronic monstah. I may send a link to my giftee tonight and they can choose whether or not they listen now or on the 25th. I am very bad at keeping secrets.

I dunno, Niv. What do you think? You laid down 1/25 as the due date, but of course, nobody will be done.

Let's push the deadline out to 2/10. As of 2/10, all songs we have submitted will be published for review. Winners will have a donation made in their name or their band name to the Memorial Sloan Cancer Center, courtesy of my company, Video Streaming Services, LLC.

First place - $150 donation
Second place - $100 donation
Third place - $50 donation

Cheers,
Mike Lamb

Mike / Niv

Where should I send the MP3 / link? I don't see the address in the thread, but I am skimming at high speed, so apologies if it is in fact blatant.

I am 99% done.

Where to send the songs: iamniveous AT gmail
As for the due date, I'll go with Mike's call on this one and say 2/10 is the closer. No songs accepted after that day.

I'll still try to get mine done this week so I don't interfere with attempting FAWM.

I can procrastinate? Awesome! But seriously, this works out really well. Dog bites set me back a couple weeks, not to mention... procras... screw it, I'll type the rest tomorrow.

I've had most of mine done for a while, but It took me forever to record vocals I was happy with. Finally found the right combination of voice processing to make my voice sufficiently hard for me to recognize... and it's in!

I took Cray's advice and added more guitars. Definitely an improvement. I plan to master and submit tonight.
Hmm, "master" and "submit" makes it sound like some sort of S&M thing. Ouch!
