Sorry about that crash...
I just PM'ed you back.
I myself need to finish vocal overdubs on my two tracks... the chest cold I somehow contracted isn't helping much... but I assure you that once I am back to normal I will finish the touch-ups on my tracks, sequence everything, and get this show on the fricken' road already!
I apologize to everyone that this has taken so long. Hopefully the results will prove that it was worth it.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Thank you. I will send them tonight when I am done on here. I am really figuring this stuff out as I go so if they do not come through by morning let me know and I will get help.
I hope one of them is good enough to go on this. If not just leave them off. I am a big boy and won't be offended. Not only am I not sure my performance will measure up to the others you have received but I am just learning how to use the old 4 track I recently purchased and how to get the songs onto the computer so I think they could have sounded better.
Anyway, thank you so much for letting me try out for this. It has been a blast doing it. I think it is a really great idea and I am sure Mr. Costello will be moved to see his fans going to such lengths to show their support for him. I saw the art work and WOW. I would love to have a copy when when it is all done and have no problem paying for it too help with your costs and time.
thanks again

11 days until the firm deadline!

Fine, forget it..
tribute cd cancelled.
I'm sorry for accepting newcomer's contributions after most who originally committed were too busy to get their submissions to me.
I'm sorry that I have spent most of 2004 in ill health thus far (as RedShoes will vouch)
I'm sorry that I have other commitments that are more important i.e. school, finding a job, etc.
This fucking thing will get done...

To re-iterate
The tribute CD is not cancelled, but like many regular tribute CD releases, is taking a ridiculously long time.
This is due to:
a) The inability for initial people who said they would contribute to actually do so
b) The fact that it took us a while to set up the technology by which to recieve these submissions
c) New members wanting to contribute and me saying "Yes!" because of the lack of initial participation
So please.. be patient... the deadlines were a tactic by me to get people to try to actually get their shit together.

Blue,
Didn't mean to push each and every one of your buttons, there. My post was meant to be a friendly reminder that time's a wasting and that if people are going to contribute, they need to get it in gear. You've posted many such reminders on this very thread and have used much harsher words than I did. Come to think of it, I mostly used your words. If the "posted 1/19" bit seemed like a slam, well, I didn't mean it as one on you. More like a notice to people who are just now getting around to possibly considering contributing that the firm deadline should really have already passed and to get going. Sorry you took it so personally.
You shouldn't take things posted on the internet so seriously, or so I've heard. Something about being retarded, wasn't it Taz?
Honest to God (and that means something to me), I appreciate the heck out of all you've done to get this cd out there. I genuinely didn't mean it the way you took it.

It was probably my fault, so no harm.
That's good news (the cd being nearly done).
By the by, I should add that I'm glad the newbies are contributing, too. I'm looking forward very much to hearing what everyone has done.

An April Fools Day gift! I'm sure he'll understand the irony.

that would be awesome. blue chair told me that mine is the only one that isnt 'note for note' with the original. i think you should really do it.

Hey bamboo...I joked about doing a Tom Waits version of Boy With a Problem...maybe we should start our own cd..
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fuckin' cross? It's kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

Blue, if I did Honey Hush would that be unincludeable? I know it is covered by 6,000 artists, but I was hoping it would fall in.
If there is more time, I really want to do a different one over "Riot Act"(for obvious reasons ) This one I can 'master' for better volume/sound.
I'll just start it, and if I take too long than "Riot Act" will have to do.

The only delay at this point has been getting in touch with sulky. Has anybody heard from her recently?
So if you can throw it together in the time between now and when sulky comes back from the dead, then go for it!
