The 6th Annual Gift of Music

[Billy's Little Trip]

The four I got are awesome as well and I've already decided on the one I'm doing, hands down.
....as soon as I grow a set.

[Paco Del Stinko]

No, but I got 4 songs that are probably *way* beyond my capabilities to cover.

Go abstract or like I usually do, go, er, dumb. Strip them to their core.

Also: Nice hairdo, Heather!

[Heather. Redmon.]

Thank you Paco!

Also, we've decided on the one we're gonna do too and it will be fun!

[Me$$iah]

Ive added links to my post.


All except the Cooper one ... damn you youtube...
tho its from the album 'Zipper catches skin' and I can happily pass on an mp3 of it


good luck and thanks to my gifter. I hope you enjoy my choices. .... and thanks for the songs, my giftee, and I hope you enjoy the hatchet job I do ...(i think i got that all the right way round)

Im gonna enjoy covering the tune Ive picked off the list.... it just deciding now, how to do it




Now all I need is a deadline to miss... hehe

[ElaineDiMasi]

Agreed. I am psyched and I want a deadline to almost miss, too.

[melvin]

I think my problem is going to be waiting for the deadline to arrive - I recorded a pretty smokin' cover yesterday for a certain special songfighter.

[Niveous]

The Unofficial deadline is 1/10/09

How's everyone doing on their GOM songs? I've got my music recorded and just need to do the vocals, which are the easy part of this song. I'll have to admit, I didn't know I had it in me. I put my heart into it for my giftee. Gift of Music rocks!

[j$]

I haven't even started mine yet - well, I know which one I'm doing, worked out how to play it, just waiting for inspiration to strike on how to arrange / approach it. I like my angles...

[HeuristicsInc]

that's where i'm at too... i need to start recording!

[Paco Del Stinko]

Just starting to think about it.

[jimtyrrell]

Hey, J$, and HInc... since the both of you are here... I was thinking it would be neat to enlist the Tyrrell Corporation for my GoM this year. You guys think you'd have time to collab? If not, it's cool.

[HeuristicsInc]

I could probably help, but not to the extent that I did on NTUA (mixing and all that).

[jimtyrrell]

I'd be happy to spearhead this one. Details to follow, depending on just how soon my ass gets in gear.

[Märk]

I haven't been able to listen to any of the 4 songs all the way through.

Yup. I'd be up for that, for sure!

[Leaf]

I'm into it. My mixing board packed it in four weeks ago, but I got a loaner on it's way until mine gets fixed... so I'll make it in time... although some other projects I wanted to participate in have been stalled out. grrrrrrr. Oh well. Intentions on the internet should hold no credence until they are realities...


I liked the list of songs I got. Challenging... but fun.

[sausage boy]

I'm in the "haven't started but know what song I am doing" boat. My computer is being difficult, or it has finally realised how shocking i really am, and the audio in isn't working any more. Frustrating! I'm in the process of chasing up something to replace it.

[Eddiebangs]

I am starting mine this weekend. I am very psyched, this will be the first song I do in my new studio, and the song I chose is a neat/different genre for me to play with...

[sausage boy]

Done! I might tweak it a bit betwee now and the deadline, but for the most part, I am finished.

BLAM!

[LSK]

The Floating Head Effect is all back in town for our colleges' winter breaks. I know it's a little late, but I'll gladly pick up a song to do from someone who didn't get one, and I'll gladly present a list of songs. (By the way - I didn't get one last year.)
