Any possibility of reviving this for 2013?

Yeah I should get around to a reupload. Will do that tonight!
If there are any desires to add to the compilation:

I've got an idea brewing for a new track so I'll get to work on it
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 15:41 (ten years ago) link
Hey Ned, I sent you a recording last year that was a little too late. Is it eligible for the re-boot? I do not have a great recording set up right now, so that would be my best contribution. I can resend of course.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link
(xp) Fuck it, that idea didn't work... but I've got another one, to the Batcave!
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 11 November 2013 09:24 (ten years ago) link
Grandavis: please resend!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 November 2013 14:29 (ten years ago) link
I do not have a great recording set up right now
LOL, mine's is a PC, an freeware audio editor and a guitar
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 11 November 2013 14:39 (ten years ago) link
Alright Ned, will do.
Tom D., I do not even have a personal computer right now, just my work computer, so "not great" could have been substituted for non-existent. I am not happy about it, but perhaps Chrismtmas this year will bring some new toys ....
― grandavis, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link
is this still available on Soundcloud please ?
― piscesx, Monday, 11 November 2013 18:43 (ten years ago) link
Heyyyyy, wait for the re-release!

Would you accept a reggae cover of Cold Cold Ground by Tom Waits?

― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 25 November 2013 08:58 (ten years ago) link
Thanks! We have four new tracks total at this point. Again, deadline is tomorrow: I'll upload and share out the comp either tomorrow night or Monday evening.

This is a hell of a lot of fun to listen to, such a cool range of stuff. Thanks as usual Ned. Gonna listen again!

Eclectic!

Really enjoying this still, especially as I get closer to being on vacation! Tom D., your tracks are really great I must say, right up my alley. I would listen to those in any context. Do you record other stuff? I mean everything on this is good/fun/rocking and many combinations of all of those things, but those tracks and the Elf With Wound song I could listen to on repeat without any complaints.
― grandavis, Thursday, 19 December 2013 22:55 (ten years ago) link
Thanks g, your track is great too btw! I only work when prompted these days, more or less.
