Brown Word in, early. Probably could use the extra time to keep futzing with it but no, I'm in now. Optional challenge accepted.

May have accidentally done that thing where I write a song and realize that it's extremely similar to a song I already know but haven't listened to in a long time. Oh well, it sounds good to me! Still need to actually record it though. Edit: figured it out, I'm totally ripping off Spacemen 3. But they spent half of their time blatantly ripping off the Velvet Underground so I guess I'm paying it forward haha.

I've put together some guitar-drenched R&B. I'll sleep on the mix.

Seaweed Delete may be submitting a song. My input on this one is basically setting up the microphone and giving him advice on using FL studio. He's super stoked about it, and has two lyric sheets written out.

I had wanted to do a pirate-y song about the Straight of Bent, but just couldn't get it going. So instead, it's a (mostly) stream of consciousness thing. Or unconscious. You know how it goes.

Rob thinks this Urban Dictionary definition is funny.

Mike: When are we going to go? We're gonna be late. If we're late, i'll cry....i swear...LET'S GO!!!
Christian: Easy fussy britches...they're open 24 hours. You'll get your happy meal.

Whatever. Fussy Britches is in.

Threw together a cover art submission, but I still need to listen to my song before committing to that part.

Ok, in! The optional challenge was to make the most commercially unviable song possible, right?

Speaking of which... I did some art last week and never resized and uploaded it. So I just got it done. But I like yours better.
