And yes before anyone complains we can change the title, we just needed something for now.
Deadline November 30th, no limitations, originals, covers, whatever. MP3, AIFF, WAV, whatever format is best (I use Apple, FWIW), file size not an issue. E-mail files or links to me at ned at kuci dot org when you're done. We'll need cover art as always. Post if you're in.

i'll probably do something. i'm apparently committing to every ilx music project these days. i kind of want to try to make the most depressing christmas song i can.

maybe i should promise to do "cherry tree carol" so i can force myself to do somethingi loathe christmas music but i love that songand it would force me to tryand i know the song
i am going to regret this (and may need help) but can i claim that song til further notice?

One of my college roommates was very talented musically, sang in a barbershop quartet, etc. He was good at transposing songs into other keys, and one afternoon he had us all on the floor laughing/crying by singing carols as minor-key dirges.

my fantasy is that we all get together, have a party, get drunk, then each pick a celebrity who sang on "do they know its christmas" and try to do an imitation of that celebrity singing their line.

Sure, but as noted, no limitations -- if people want to do their own take on that, feel free. I figure people should post what you want to do when you've figured out the song and I'll keep a running list. And remember, do originals too if you want! No reason not to!

Hey Tom D, gotta say that BOTH of your tracks are great by the way. Song title for the first one is amazing. Fahey reference, correct?
Sad that I did not submit to this, I actually just recorded a Christmas thing for something here in Virginia, but I also think I imagined that this comp was going to be more jokey for some reason. What I recorded may have fit perfectly well.
