We thought it would be a boss idea to cut a new version of it, which we now happily give to you. Distribute it freely; don't use it in a commercial project; credit me and Rob ("Words by Rob Balder; Music by Tom Smith. © 2004 by Rob Balder and Tom Smith.

BTW, official Philcon invitations and a list of program items that you may want to be a panelist on will be going out by email VERY SHORTLY. Just an FYI.

Also, great work on the additional orchestration.

Date: 2006-09-08 06:19 pm (UTC)Although, it's weird for me: I have the original Rob-vocal version of the song so seriously tattooed into my skull that hearing a new version of it feel quite odd.

Date: 2006-09-07 07:31 pm (UTC)And congratulations! I was among the (obviously many) nominators, and I'm looking forward to voting for it in the final round as well. (I know the ballot's out - I just haven't had the time to listen to the samples for all of the categories.)

Congratulations!

Date: 2006-09-08 01:30 am (UTC)Btw, a bit of playlist amusement for you -- I downloaded the song, imported it into iTunes, and hit play. At the end, it flipped elsewhere in my library, since I typically listen to iTunes on shuffle.
The follower was Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy".
I am unsure why I find that so horribly amusing. :)

Date: 2006-09-08 04:00 pm (UTC)The upside is that if RFL does not win, it's guaranteed that an exceptionally worthy song will have beaten it. And there's always next year (and the chance to lose to Skullcrusher Mountain! O_o)
