J$: I'm looking forward to your next change of heart, and your re-involvement in this project.

Seriously, man, come play!

Also: I'm on dialup (still), and I don't collab much because of it. But I'm willing to give it a shot. Like Niv said, it'll be interesting.

Songs:

Wires (by Athlete)
Halloween (by Dead Kennedys)
Respectable Street (by XTC)
Jane (by Jefferson Starship)

Dear person assigned to this song list: fear not! I'll have mp3s posted here as soon as I can, hopefully by tomorrow (Friday, 10/27). UPDATE: One down, three to go!

Musical Rock: Origin Of Love - Hedwig and The Angry Inch
Blast From My Past: Mulder and Scully - Catatonia
Acoustic Lovelyness: Nan's Song - Robbie Williams
Pop That Bubble: Love At First Sight - Kylie Minogue

Hee. Enjoy these. They're all fairly well known, and they're all fun to play/sing.

That's an amazing list. Big ups to Hedwig/Kylie/Robbie Williams (don't know the other one sorry).

we're up for this, but are ye allowed to collaborate with the person who gifted ye your 4 songs to cover?

Geoff WreckdoM · Post by **Geoff WreckdoM** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 2:50 pm

Yay!!! It's GOM time. Can't believe it's already been a year. Ohboy Ohboy! I love the two songs we got last year. I like the idea of collaberating on this as that will likely cut down on people not getting their gift on time/at all. So, here ya go

Settin' the woods on fire - Hank Williams Sr.
Dr. Rock - Motorhead
Tent in your Pants - Peaches
Telstar - The Tornados

I'm bummed Cashpoint ain't in on this. He was actually the first person I thought of when I read you had to collab with someone. Some day Johnny, our time will come...

I try my best to be amazing and make amazing things. Occasionally I succeed

(Mulder and Scully was a big song in the 90s. Brit pop, ahoy! I just remember it being kinda cool that there was a song mentioning X Files... This is why I was not a cool kid

)

Here's my list:

1) David Bowie -Panic in Detroit
2) Beck - Mutherfuker
3) nomeansno - Two Lips, Two Lungs, and One Tongue
4) Motörhead - Bomber

Pretty good variety, I think. All rockin', of course.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 4:52 pm

Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See a Darkness
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place

This might go through changes. Probably will.

edit: I immediately changed one after posting it the first time.
edit #2: And changed another an hour later.

Hmm...the Catatonia song is the only song of those I have heard

Funny, I thought not listening to Kylie Minogue was the same as treason in your neck of the woods.

Perving on her arse is mandatory. But it's OK to do it with the volume down.
