The 6th Annual Gift of Music

[ElaineDiMasi]

Count me in, please! This really sounds like fun.

Penny Lane - Beatles
Trip through your Wires - U2
Supercollider - Tribe, http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6379054mSE64trR
Church of the Poison Mind - Boy George

[Lord of Oats]

Alright. I think this is how this is going to work.

LAST MINUTE DECISIONS

CHOSEN HASTILY AND WITHOUT THOUGHT


Turns out I have a couple of old songs. And a couple of newer songs. I tried to pick four songs that sound nothing alike so someone will perhaps like at least one of them.

Tom Waits - Ol' 55
Gary Numan - Are 'Friends' Electric?
The Killers - When You Were Young
Coldplay - Viva La Vida

AHAA there you go.

NOW I will get you some links to things just a bit later on.

These are great songs. I encourage everyone to work tirelessly producing as many covers of them as they possibly can.

[Niveous]

Gary Numan - Are 'Friends' Electric?

Hey, I covered that one at GOM 2005.

In.

Songs.

Baby Come Back - Player
Every Little Step - Bobby Brown
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
Bootylicious - Destiny's Child

Oh, and one request - if the cover could be in a style different from the original.

[Caravan Ray]

It would be crime to mess with Baby Come Back - Player. It is perfect just the way it is. The hair, the satiny shirts, the chorusy guitars. It doesn't get any better than that.

[Me$$iah]

Damn.... missed the cutoff deadline again....
oh well.... maybe next year

[Niveous]

It's the holidays, Messiah. I'm not gonna be a grinch. Get your choices in in a hurry,

[Me$$iah]

Sweet...

OK in that case how about.

1 Zorro's Acsent - Alice Cooper
2 Runaway - Del Shannon
3 This Could Be Anywhere - Dead Kennedys
4 Trail of Tears - Dogs Damour*


I'll hunt down some links







*actually any Dogs song would rock, I dont care which




EDIT links added ... mostly

[Albatross]

This Could Be Anywhere - Dead Kennedys

Great choice.

[jimtyrrell]

Seconded. Frankenchrist is one of my favorite albums ever.

[Niveous]

I'm only allowing this since I just happen to be enjoying your cover of "Little Sadie" this week. Get your stuff in....now. Don't wait. Hurry. Fast as you can....

[Lord of Oats]

Ugh, alright alright okay fine.

Strike that and replace it with

The Smiths - Reel Around the Fountain

[Niveous]

I just had someone randomly pick the pairings. PMs coming soon.

If you get someone that you have given a "gift of music" to before, tell me so I can make a switch.

[Caravan Ray]

OK lets go.



And whoever gets me - if the youtube stuff i posted isn't good enough - I can email mp3s, but I don't have any webspace at the moment to post links to. If you want mp3s emailed - maybe PM Niv and he could act as some sort of go-between (OK Niv?)

[Heather. Redmon.]

I'm excited! When's the due date?

[Märk]

I think I'm going to throw up...

[Billy's Little Trip]

I think I'm going to throw up...

HaHa! Dude, did you get that Bee Gee's song?

[Märk]

No, but I got 4 songs that are probably *way* beyond my capabilities to cover.

[Niveous]

Enlist help. Call in the troops.

[Billy's Little Trip]

No, but I got 4 songs that are probably *way* beyond my capabilities to cover.

Grow a set.
I remember a song once that Adam did with boxes, rubber bands and I think an egg beater and it was awesome! From that day forward, I have never questioned his musical ingenuity, nor my lack of instruments.

[frankie big face]

The four songs I got are all new to me and all awesome.
