You're right Fluffy. I almost forgot. There is a vote next year on who did the best song. The top 3 all get Soul Tree Records gift packs, courtesty of Eddiebangs, as well as a contribution to JDRF given in their name.

BLT: Too funny! For the record: I am thoroughly obsessed with all things Scott Pilgrim. Maybe I should switch mine to Garbage Truck.

Nice Todd Ingram avatar, too!

Received via e-mail from Boffo Yux Dudes:

Niv -
I'm Game to try this year - I should be able to convince Al to join forces and try to do a cover song.

You need 4 tunes? Hmm..

How about
Today's the Day by Inverse T. Clown
http://todaysthedaycovers.blogspot.com/ ... -site.html

I asked Edric for a tune - he came up with
Sir Issac Quickmud (No. 138)
http://happinessboard.com/Sir_Isaac_Quickmud.html

Something more accessible - How about
The Monkees - '(Im Not Your) Steppin' stone'

and finally from
Pop Machine - Indestructible!
