The 7th Annual Gift of Music

[Lord of Oats]

Hmm, looks like I'm double-late. Been kinda busy and stuff. Well, I'm gonna make up a list right quick, and if I made it in, I'll post links to as much stuff as I have.

The National - Lit Up
My Morning Jacket - Sec Walkin
Fall Out Boy - Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes
AFI - Darling, I Want to Destroy You

EDIT: Weren't there more late lists? The auxiliary group whatever thing is going to suck if everybody drops out in weird, quiet fashion. LIEK, WUT. I think I'm gonna try to make Bratwrust or something.

[HeuristicsInc]

yeah, there are 4 latecomers, including you, last call for entrants and I won't take anybody else

When you do assign the stragglers, I suggest picking random choices in order and have A do B, B do C, C do D, and D do A. That way you avoid the problem of pairing off or self-covers. (This is also a provably-correct way to assign random covers for the larger collection of participants which similarly avoids local cycles and "oops gotta cover myself" sorts of things.) It is counterintuitive but it ends up maximizing the transitive distance than simply going down the list of gifters and picking a random remaining recipient.

I mean, if you care about that sort of thing.

[HeuristicsInc]

good idea. ok i sent the laties assignments today. enjoy! i think we should officially close entry now.

I hate alter egos.

If there's a prize for fastest songfighter, I just rang the bell. Eat my dust

[fluffy]

There isn't.

[wages]

If there's a prize for fastest songfighter, I just rang the bell. Eat my dust

If there was, I totally would have won it! Actually, several of us have done sidefights where we had less than an hour to write, record, and submit a tune. Oddly, some of my best submissions have come from that. :{D

[2dogs]

Bang on Wages and Fluffy. The best ones do seem to come together quickly. And of course there's no prize but it was fun to poke the cage

Take care folks,

[fluffy]

Oh, no, I haven't even started recording mine yet (although I know what I'm going to do). I was just saying, there's no prize for fastest. Bully on you if you can manage to do your gift recipient justice in such a short time though.

[2dogs]

Lets just say that I spared no expense to provide the recipient with a most unique gift. The short time span was a fluke. It just came together that way. Now all I have left to do is the video production. If the deadline is still early January, I'm hoping that'll give me enough time to do it justice.

Don't you just love mystery and intrigue. Giving is truly better than receiving.

I'm nearly there with mine, just need to wait for this blasted cold to clear up so I can vocalate!

[anti-m]

Aw fuck.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Aw fuck.

hi anti-m. :horny_smiley:

[furrypedro]

Aw fuck.

Post a list anyway, maybe some benefactor will be generous towards a latecomer with excellent taste.

[Paco Del Stinko]

[Billy's Little Trip]

When is the due date? I looked on the OP, and scanned a few pages. Last time I remember it being in January.

[anti-m]

Heh. Will do. I'll also undertake to un-stiff one of this year's stiffees. (Not that anyone will be stiffed this year, I'm sure.)

I can't believe I missed the deadline. I'm such a spaceman.

[HeuristicsInc]

yeah, big bummer. your song last year was my favorite. heck, if anybody else joins, you can swap with them.

due date - yeah, sometime in january. don't feel like picking a specific date yet. what day is epiphany this year? i have to get back out to my raking.
