Hey, where'd you see that???

Anyway, I was going to release the link tomorrow morning, but on second thought, I'd rather wait until we have at least half the songs. So I'll be releasing the link tomorrow IF AND ONLY IF at least one more song gets turned in before then.

Oh, well, if that's how it is, then I don't see the harm.

Agreed. Just like last time around, there were a few "perfect" matchups. Caravan Ray getting "Virgin Nancy" was a match made in heaven. I also felt that way about King Arthur getting "Wisenheimer" and BLT getting my title. You could also that Milo getting "I'll Ruin This" and me getting "Winter Clothes" might qualify for this category as well.

Again, it should be noted that these assignments were random. Noah and Irwin can attest to that, for certain. :)

Twice in as many contests, Irwin got the longest and most ridiculous title of the bunch. Way to go, Irwin!

I can't upload from work, but if you're impatient, I've got links to Paco's and Jan's songs on their own respective webspaces. If you have any archivist leanings, I'd hold off until the downloads hit the site, because I re-tag them all for consistency before uploading.

Well, if we're officially jumping the gun, then you can grab mine here:

http://noahmclaughlin.bandcamp.com/track/bourbon-boobs

I figured mine was either from BLT or Caravan Ray, but it was a 50/50 split as to which.

The gun has been jumped. I posted the link a few posts ago. http://www.jon-eric.com/Circle2.html The six already-uploaded songs, including yours, are already available for download there. Two more will be up there in about another hour.

You will probably not be surprised to note that your title was the suggestion of Billy's Little Trip.

Not sure why you would think that. I didn't like the title at all. I would have much preferred "At the Geothermal Plant".

Still - at least I could do something with it. Better than some of the shockers others got. Serioulsy Paco - "Somewhere I Don't Know"?!?!? pfffffttt

Some of your post seems to have been left out Noah:

I've looked up words I don't know my whole life, but somehow the context warned me off this one and I was able to ignore it. Then I'm reading James Lileks this morning and he uses the phrase "coprophagic child molester" (in the context of advertising, no less). So, thinking God must really want me to know what that means, I google it. And it turns out I was wrong about the God part.
