I have added Mr. Trip's entry to the queue. Update yer playlists!

[Billy's Little Trip]

Thank you, M.

...where is this playlist you speak of?

[anti-m]

Well, m'dear, you can listen one of two places:

or here, where you get all the text blah blah blah as well:

But OH SHIT I didn't update the M3u. I'll go do that right now.

[fluffy]

Yeah, I need to JFDI but I want to do a good job of it and I just haven't had the time to. But with role models like Niveous and Eddiebangs, well...

[Albatross]

Oh BLT, you reliable rat bastard. I had a feeling you wouldn't stiff anyone. First I was all then I was all and now I'm all .

Friggin great tune, man. Faithful enough to be recognizable, but still totally BLT in every way. Thank you.

Perhaps I'll take a stab at a stiffee request if I feel sass-ay. Just got laid off from my job, so it's not like I'll be lacking for time...

[Billy's Little Trip]

My pleasure, fine sir. And great use of your three smiley allotment. lol

[Billy's Little Trip]

By the way, BGM, you f**kin' nailed my GOM song. That is a great rendition of Sad Tomorrow! Such a good ol' song and your cover made it shine. Thanks you.

[bgm]

Thanks, BLT, glad you liked it.
Not a very imaginative interpretation on my part, I'm afraid.
I really, really liked that song (had never heard it before) and felt like I couldn't bring anything new to it because it was pretty great already.
I decided that I'd just have fun learning it and playing it. Thanks for introducing me!

[Niveous]

With a borrowed laptop, I have finally finished my GM song and then did a song from someone else's list as well.

[anti-m]

...And Niveous' entries are added!

[fluffy]

Niveous,

Thanks for taking care of de-stiffing BBABM. I feel really bad about not being able to get to his stuff. The last couple weeks I've been having more problems that people are sick of hearing about, and today I had the worst anxiety attack I can ever remember having.

The last few months have been pretty terrible for me and I'm sory for not being able to fulfill my obligations to people.

(FWIW I was intending to a bluegrass cover of 'Jaked on Green Beers.' Hopefully I will still manage to do that someday.)

[BBABM]

awesome niv! so good! that song totally fits you. i had a feeling it was you or fluffy that had me, i assumed you would do this song, or fluffy would do the soul coughing song. just amazing. im going to see coheed & cambria next month, when i weasle my way back stage ill be sure to throw them the plug

Dude, don't sweat it. You're admin here and help out with so much stuff. Shiz happens.

edit: And no, I'm not being pragmatic. ....not intentionally anyway.

[j$]

Niveous, thanks for "Rock Star"! great stuff!

i thought if you got stiffed i'd try a go at the wire cover... but not in february.

so i said this... and caravan ray pm'ed me to say he'd like to do it too... and so we decided to cover the song after feb. well, j$'s gifter came through while we were working on it, but we decided to finish it anyway. and it took until now. but we are done!

Incray- "Outdoor Miner"

after we were almost done i was searching for something or other and found out that there's some crazy record company that put out an entire cd of covers of this one song... so there's 20-some existing covers of it, but hey! here's one more!

Awesome! Awesome!

Yeah I've got it. It's pretty much what you'd expect, most pretty good covers individually, gets a bit tiresome 12 songs in .... the Flying Saucer Attack version is pretty sweet.

[Caravan Ray]

that is such a fun song to sing

[HeuristicsInc]

i especially liked the part where you launched into beach boys mode near the end.

I am so so sorry for being a stiffer last GOM. I am ashamed of myself, I never thought I would be one of those.

I finally got around to finishing my assignment. It's not much but I hope it goes some way to making up for my failure.
Here is my version of "Beans and Cornbread" by Louis Jordan & The Tympany Five for Boffo Yux Dudes.

There may be a better way to notify BYD so they actually see this. Gimme a nudge if so. My board etiquette is rusty.

[RangerDenni]

No worries. I'll tell Tom G of the BYD. I can get a hold of him right now.
