Wait, what the hell. Did you just make this up? Not that I care, I just want to know if I completely missed some discussion that took place about this.

So they're due in a week?

it was an IRC-level decision.

yes, due in a week.

taking a month to cover a song is not punk rock.

here are some mp3s:

A coverfight of an artist you don't dig really bothers you this much? Okay, put me down for 'Brave Captain'. I promise not to do a lounge piano version.

i don't have enough time this week to do a whole song, but if anybody else wants to hire a bassist i'd be happy to oblige. (it's not often that a coverfight comes along dedicated to a bassist so i'd hate to miss out).

I may take you up on this, Mr The Voice, but I don't know how close to the deadline i'm gonna get round to recording my version of "Untitled Song for Latin America" so don't hang on it, I guess ...

hey does anyone have a copy of Chinese Firedrill. I can't find mine.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Sat May 27, 2006 12:36 pm

I think Ricky Shallow and the Blown Loads are doing "This Ain't No Picnic."

At the final mixing stage now. When on the 31st is this due? Self-hosted w/pmed links to blue?

Or do we behave like good little punks and post an [url=http://This_is_not_a_real_link]"Oi! This is my song!"[/url] here on the board?

furrypedro · Post by **furrypedro** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:44 am

yo

I got impatient. here's mine

I'd like it if somebody else did the alternate lines too; any volunteers?

and watch out for the massive silence at the end

I'll do a page for this - people send me their links. (unless Blue is already on the case).

i'd rather just put them all in the first post than all go making a page.

pages are pretty dumb.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Wed May 31, 2006 1:07 am

Oops gimp link.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Wed May 31, 2006 1:08 am

In that case.

Ricky Shallow and the Blown Loads do Minutemen's "Nature Without Man."
