ok, here's The Real Sign's wish list.
We picked these because they're great songs with brutal performances.

Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore

Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce

Ween - I can't Put My Finger On It

White Stripes - Blue Orchid
Irwin: I'd sell my soul to jesus to program drums like signboy.

Things are really effed up in my life right now and I've been pretty absent from the Song Fight scene lately, but I'm in. Song choices:

The Dismemberment Plan - You Are Invited

The Thermals - Returning to the Fold

Harvey Danger - Meetings with Remarkable Men

Bloc Party - Uniform

I'll get some mp3's up on Saturday, I just wanted to make sure I got my choices in by the deadline.

(EDIT: DONE.)

Sorry for the delay. Here's some links and a change :)

*Chloroform Girl - Polkadot Cadaver


*Stay a little Longer - Bob Wills did this,
(also Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel did this too - among others; but I like the Hot Club of Cowtown Version (an Austin-based swing trio) best of all.)

*J. Edgar - Ry Cooder (I originally wanted his 'Dirty Chateau' off his "Pull up some dirt and sit down" but cannot find an Internet version. Here's another one I like off 'My Name is Buddy.' I could only find a link.

*Keep Your Hands to Yourself - Georgia oSattelites

I've entered 4 times
I've stiffed twice
And come in late twice
Ken says I should be banned
I think I agree
However I have received the most awesome gifts every time I entered
I love a lot of the songs posted so far
Perhaps I'll post 4 songs
But if anyone deserves to be stiffed it's me.

Oh, that is a hell of a pick! That makes me want to go back and re-do some of my picks! Niv, can I modify my entries? :)
