Done and in, thanks to some guitar work by Jolly Roger.

And now, back to drowning my sorrows. It was a good season, Saints. Thanks for the ride.

I am really excited to see who is gifting my music selection! GoM is such a fun event! Even if we do always procrastinate till the last minute. (In my case anyways.)

Much thanks to Caravan Ray for adding his time and talent to complete my song! You rock mate!

Thanks Paco!

Rosewood! I'm not allowed to play with glass any more, since that court decision back in '04. Plus, glass doesn't absorb teak oil very well. Which reminds me, I suppose I ought to let Mr. Bangs know where to find my song and stuff. You know, since it's technically a few hours late, even after sixteen hundred deadlines. Have we posted lists for next year yet?

In.

And since hiring guitar-wielding mercenaries seems to be all the rage, I'd like to give a quick shout out to Boltoph for his blistering shredding. Wank on, Bolt!

Great name. LOL

I wish I knew about this in time. Can't wait to hear the entries.

My hotel room neighbors should find the next couple of nights interesting. Hopefully all will be forgiven after that

I just made it in. Check your PMs, Eddie.

Also, I haven't listened to my gift yet, but Jim got my picks a couple years ago... ?

Is it just me that's just seeing a bunch of HTML when I click on the link?

ROCK!

That's what I see too Glenn.

I get HTML text in Firefox. It's working fine in IE.

I am guessing there are quite a few of us this time, based on the number of people who entered versus the number of entries completed.

I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry here-- give folks a chance to be a few days late or so before you assume they aren't coming at all. I mean, the site's only been up for an hour or two.

Not saying it's a bad idea. Just, you want to separate the people who needed a little extra time to finish from those who deserve years of nagging and ridicule.

Also, for what it's worth, the web site doesn't work in Opera either. I'm mostly saying that because I want to sound all uppity because I use an unpopular (and therefore hip) web browser. I sort of remember having some problems with previous GOMs, too. Nothing I couldn't work around; just... inconveniences.

You brought up some good points, Charcoal. I edited my post to reflect this.

ROCK!

OOPS!

I f*cked up- my bad... This link should work:

GOM 2006/2007

ALSO, some stragglers are still coming in... The page will be updated each afternoon for seven days. Anyone later than that will be shit out of luck...

yep - works now - thanks Mr Bangs

...and after a quick listen

Wow! "Man Overboard" by Calfborg!! (+ Jack Shite)! That is sensational!

I didn't think anyone would attempt that one.

One of the greatest feminist anthems ever written - I remember as a teenager going to see Do-Re-Mi many times at the Newcastle Workers Club and standing in the front row lusting for Deborah Conway. Hearing her sing about penis envy and pubic hair on her pillow was enormously arousing - OK, the whole "girl power" thing was lost on me as a feckless 19-year-old - but what can you do? She was hot.

Anyway - that is a great cover version - very true to the spirit of the original.

BTW: Deb Conway has an open offer to come around to your house to play live if you buy 25 number of copies of her latest album. My mates and I are seriously considering it for one of our "old boys" reunions - if we ever do do it - I'll play her this song - I'm sure she'll love it.

(Original version is here if anyone wants to hear it)
