I didn't mean to say it shouldn't be in the competition, I just thought it was the wrong category. I thought it belonged to the "Cover" category, but to be honest, I am not entirely sure what "Cover" means in this context.
Originally posted by royalchickenI don't think one can fully appreciate F*** the System without it being juxtaposed beside the melodic improvisastion of Amazing Grace.
I'm going to vote once I figure out what Cribs' 'artistic intentions' were. I can't get my head around '40 Oz. Ballad', although 'Fuck Tha System' is straightforwardly great.
Darv, The Knifings rock to a high degree of hardness.
Originally posted by NordlysYeah sorry, I have tried to make the files as small as possible without losing too much clarity. The competition files are 60Mb and the remainder should be 27Mb.
About 110 MB (including the non-comp entries). A lot if you are on dialup. 🙁
For those of you on dial up, I'm not sure what to say; take your time? Voting extends for two weeks.

STOP PRESS!!!
Some people think they're too big for deadlines, despite the fact that those deadlines were extended for weeks. Nevertheless, we have a new entry, so Rag and Gatecrasher, please listen to Phlab's entry and decide if it impacts on your votes at all.
I dunno... mods... gwah!

More about me getting my 'act' together, no disrespect to time frames. I took an early lunch to bang it out. It was too much to get done with the wife and kid in the house... so I finally left work to just 'do it'.

You learned to play Sour Grapes yet?
Originally posted by StarrmanVery nice effort, but up against the "40oz Ballad"? My vote stands.

IMO, anyone sending in a last gasp effort should choose the "Covers" category.
Originally posted by GatecrasherThanx Gate! I'm slowly DL'n the files... dial up Stinks! I'll have DSL some time after the 10th here at work... looking forward to being able to DL and Upload a lot faster.

Hey Starmann, I downloaded one of my pieces and one of
Shav's, but both came out playing way too fast, shav sounded
like a chipmunk almost, pitch and speed too high. Anyone else
have that artifact or is it just my machine here? I am at work
using win 2000 and its built in media player. If its here, can I fix it?
Don.
