Scrabbled Comp #5: Hello, My Name Is
I thought this was a fun one. Kevin mentioned that it might be his favorite compilation so far, and I agree with him.
Scrabbled Comp #5: Hello, My Name Is
With so many solid, modern rock tracks, this compilation definitely feels like a result of The Scrabbled’s collective consciousness. I kinda hate Kevin and Hutch for their tracks, but I commend their test of democracy. Evan, I’m glad, after all the non-reading, you came up with “Frank Sinatra”. Apologies to Sammy for the last minute drop; if you want another track on here, let me know. Matthew, thanks for reminding me about The Postal Service (same to you, Jay, for Piebald).
Album art is in the compilation folder. The bolded songs are files we still need for completion. Hook it up!

And without further ado, the theme for Scrabbled Comp #6:
Cover songs! The idea here is that it’s like the bands are wearing “costumes” by playing someone else’s song. Hutch’s idea (even though I told him I was going to claim it, until I realized it’s not that great).
My song selection is “It’s Oh So Quiet” by Bjork. I had a feeling it was a cover song (though apparently the name was changed from the original).

Hahahahahaha, this is ridiculous.
okay i knew i’d come up with a better choice. my pick is “atomic” by sleeper. originally done by blondie. final answer.
So are we doing the covers one or not?
Kevin said:So are we doing the covers one or not?
SHHHHHHH. JUST LET IT HAPPEN.
Does it have to be a clinical phobia, or can it just be something that everyone is afraid of?
If the former, then “Through the Fire and Flames” by DragonForce.
If the latter, “Titty Twister” by Diesel Boy.
Covers, Evan! Covers!
My covers are still in there, just covering all the bases.
I don’t know why Paris has to be given a hard time. He is the only reason I have music at work with his mixes and the like.
GO PARIS! I SUPPORT YOU FOR PRESIDENT OF EARTH!
Cause it’s funny!
