Sure, go for it. A possibility for FAWM is to do 14 of these, and try and do a song for each, in the style that the outcome suggests...

I'll edit in a song when I think of one. Had I been able to use the last five it would've been "Intelligence of the American public." I'll probably do that as the song anyway. Been listening to a lot of punk lately.

Ohh! Cool idea!

Hah hah hah!

Woot. If you do listen to "No Matter How Slow," please do with the lights off, or when you want to relax. I think that'd be the best time to.

Please note that this is the most expiremental I've been so it will either be kind of cool or totally crash and burn.

Yep, so was mine. Funny thing about experimental, yuh don't have to even get out of your computer chair to do it.

Which I did anyway, hitting my knee, which caused that random "thump" in the beginning of my track. Hah. I know, I'm hardcore.

And on a side-note, I had your song on repeat for about an hour today. I have no idea why, but there's something infectious about it where I just want to keep listening. Hah. Maybe because it kind of reminded me of Tool. *shrug*

TOOL? maybe a tool, but TOOL?

As J$ would say, "it's ear trickery". I used a famous speech to make it sound bigger than it really is. Of course the speech I speak of is by Hoblit saying, "Dude, answer the phone". You rock, Hobz.

....first collaboration I've ever done without my collab partner knowing that he was my collab partner. Kinda like sticking your best friend through a glory hole.

by the way, I'm joking about the famous speech. I don't take the Challenger disaster lightly. I made this paragraph small. But I'm guessing you figured that out by now. Also, I'd never stick my best friend through a glory hole.

By the way, I'm going to have to insist that I do a song for this one if you don't have one in the works.

edit: I must warn, it "may" be slightly homosexual in nature.
.....it may help if I know who pitches.

Is that the same as "bowling from the Member's end"?

I love this. At first I was skeptical...but mine is coming together so well.

I'll submit sometime today.

Nice one Nigel. Cool game, I’ll join.
I gave the sequence 7 tries, and here are the best 2.
shit i need to get back to work....

For some reason, this one reminds me of the album “the Boxer” by the National, that came out last year.

And this one, can be some fun and playful electronic music crap.

An easy fix:

...and it works just about as well, I think!

Nigel (spOOn) Clements · Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:58 am

Not as good as the previous one but odd in regards to the recurring violence....

Ohhh! Oops. I thought it was any quote and any picture. That is indeed a cheat. I was so excited to give it a whirl that I didn't read the destructions closely.

I'll try again!

heh! Yes - even more so considering the band name. Are you at all familiar with the"Alvin Purple"? movies of the 1970's

Hoblit · Post by **Hoblit** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:06 pm

I'm not gonna have enough time to put a song for this today so I thought I would go ahead and post my album art by directed specs.

Oh man, I gotta stop. This is really addicting. Addictive? Both, I guess.

Albatross · Post by **Albatross** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:35 pm

I can't seem to stop either. And yes, this time it came up with a real band.

Which makes it hard not to just go do a bunch of album covers for real bands and confuse the living hell out of all of their fanatics. (somebody should do the back of this album adding 12 songs using the quote rules or an alteration of said rules...maybe the first TWO words or something)
