Chris, The darker days of me & himis amazing.

Thanks Tim, you did a wonderful job with my 8 minute long song, I knew you would work your magic.

Great submissions and intros everyone. This was a fun cp!

What happened to the other comments?

They were bootleg comments from unauthorised live recordings and somebody filed a DMCA notice

Adam..LOL.

LOL. They commented a warning, but that was, of course, deleted with the rest of them

the sucky thing is, i’ll never be able to remember what i said in my comment!

how come only some of the comments? how strange.

Hmmm. I honestly don’t know what has happened there. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

Luckily the missing comments are in my email folder …

Bob said .. Looks like a goodie… my non-contribution: “Widow Of My Dreams” by Obits. Listen to it… here. It’s a bit rough around the edges (and the middle).

Nat said … I was going to submit a BnL song, too, but James beat me to it! (Which is cool, since we’re both thinking about BnL, James, since Steven left.) I was going to pick The Old Apartment, though. I love Break Your Heart so much, too.

James said … Nat - Great minds…

Rhiannah - Yay! Someone else played a Green Day song!

Greer- I really liked that Wilco song

You know what? I really liked the whole thing. It was so contrasty!

Marcy said .. i thought the same thing, james, that this was a most contrasty episode. everyone went a bit out of the box for it.

i especially loved how tim segued from the lovely iron & wine/calexico to the shameless br549 then back to the war pigs cover. he’s really good at that.

conrad–that song spoke to me in particular today. thanks for choosing it. : )

bob–enough of your surrogate picks, you need to really be in it next week!

linda–that song was awesome. and i heard you laugh!

tricia–klaus nomi’s falsetto is kind of like my over-the-top karaoke voice! loved it.

a really great show, everybody!

p.s. adam, great theme choice, btw!

and we missed you nat–and zb, too–but i understand needing to take a break sometimes.

well no wonder i couldn’t remember what i said–i wrote a book!

lol hehe good thinking Tim.
