...and very nice lyrics too! I look forward to it.

Then I hope it song does the lyrics justice I'm pretty happy with it. It came out more industrial sounding than anything I've done before.

Also, credit where credit's due. My writing partner came up with the best of the lyrics, IMO. He wrote the latter two verses. I wrote the opening "history" verses and we each took a stab at the chorus.

In.

Like Flynn.

Hurry up ya SOB's, it's almost deadline!!!

I just sent it, I hope it's in and all in place. Wheeeeewwww!

I finished things up this morning and sent the link a few minutes ago. Not much sleep, but there is a song.

ooer, in at 6.00.34GMT
My desperation retardation kicked in and I was about to send the file direct and then remembered. I hope that doesn't mean we're 'Out like Ray'.

my ftp choked at the last minute, so i gmailed the song direct to niv.

Worked out an alternate upload method, but damn, the wire!

you're in under the wire, you two. I'm willing to give a couple minute grace period. Grace periods are our friends, especially when you are 3 minutes late for work.

All 25 accounted for?

Actually, y'all didn't need the grace. According to gmail, both of your e-mails were sent at 12:59.

Very unfortunate. I was looking forward to hearing your take on this title more than any other entry.

ROCK!

I still plan to record my idea, so I will share it here once it's done.

Would there be any interest to have the songs in a podcast? I can put one together if there's enough interest.

Wow, my song almost didn't happen. I've been stubbornly forcing myself to come up with fully formed lyrics, melody and vocals first, and record them before going on to write/record any of the music. The idea is that this forces me to write lyrics I'm happy with or suffer the consequences. Well, it took my five days but I finally dredged up some lyrics for Sister Cocaine that I was happy with, but the consequence was that I didn't get started actually writing / recording the music until 8pm last night. It ended up being a few hours of frantic recording (hushed so I wouldn't aggravate my easily-enraged neighbor) followed by a few hours of uneasy sleep, then up at an ungodly hour--the kind of hour usually reserved for the overlapping-segment of the Insomniacs/Long-haul-fright-truckers Venn Diagram--to mix and submit before work. Somehow while I was fitfully napping my verse vocals managed to transmography themselves from the good takes that I remembered recording into a sloppy, pitchy mess. The levels are all screwy, too, because apparently my ears are on sideways at 5am. What I'm trying to say is...

NUR EIN!
