I started on one song, then totally switched to a different song. But now it is finished. IT IS FINISHED.

Baby has not been sleeping soundly, and I have had to take several breaks to go calm her down, but I finished it anyway. Phew! Just hope she gets over this cold soon.

I still haven't started. I'm basically over my multiple simultaneous illnesses but now I'm very busy catching up with work and on Friday I have a colonoscopy. FUN.

I hate to sound like I'm making excuses even though that's basically what I'm doing.

Sorry all, our track imploded. I'll make it right, but I don't have a timeline. Weeks, but not months, and not days.

Apologies.

Signing in as late with no intent to stiff, and intent to not stiff.

I will probably be a little late (when was this due?) - but it will just be a few days. Not weeks.

Now 99.6% finished.

I just may still add bass. Or maybe not. ETA probably Friday arvo Aus time.

Sorry - but I really like this song and don't want to rush it out - and after some 8 or 9 years or whatever of doing these and ALWAYS being on time - this year I am taking a few extra days. I have no reason for this slackness - but out of solidarity for Fluffy, I have jammed a camera up my arse*

[insert 'streaming' joke here]

Done and in. It may worm its way onto the internet shortly, because I'm massively impatient, but don't worry, my giftee would have no idea where to look.

I'm running late with mine. I was gonna finish it last night but I got sick and I'm not singing with this sore throat.

I will have mine done by the end of this weekend or Sunday night, which ever comes last. Like everyone else here, I'm sick too. Not in a physical sense so much, but more in the mental-y sense I guess.

Jim of Seattle · Post by **Jim of Seattle** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 9:17 pm

I feel so left out. I thought I was done Sunday and had sent my song in, but as it turns out, a nuclear bomb accidentally detonated in my studio, so now every molecule of my gear is three inches from every other molecule. PLUS, I have athlete's foot. So those two things are like a perfect storm and my song might be 63 months late. But I will get it in.

Caravan Ray · Post by **Caravan Ray** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 4:45 am

OK - I am 100% finished. Let me do a little fiddling and I'll post tomorrow.

I will never get this the way I want it. So - it is done.

I love this song. Best Christmas present ever from the dude that suggested it for me. There was an instant connection the second I heard it - I had to cover it.

I wonder if the giftee can guess what it is before I post it? Who thinks they may have suggested a song that affected Caravan Ray viscerally? It is sort of obvious - in a tangential sort of way

Well that narrows it down to songs about penis.

Done, and it is amazing.

Well that narrows it down to songs about penises
More than one penis is plural.

Man, he was great.

Totally off-topic, but here's a Silverstein poem Madi and I love and say to each other on occasion:

Would you like to hear
Of the terrible night
When I bravely fought the--
No? All right
