Well, if we're arguing... I can see David's point, but I'm with lisah on this one for the slightly perverse reason that I'm delighted by the idea of meta-cowbell. "So the song has cowbell?" "Well, no, but we covered it because the original had cowbell. It really is all about the cowbell."
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can see David's point
Well, I'm an editor and it is my experience that writers always try to fudge the lines. So I like drawing them bright and clear.
However, I have no enforcement capacity so the worst that can happen is a cavil on my part. And the best is, "I was completely wrong! That song rocks with implicit cowbell and more than satisfies all requirements." I'm willing to be proven wrong.

I dunno. I can't see the More Cowbell category without cowbell, myself, but part of the fun of the mix is the freedom to define the categories in ways that make sense to you.
Incidentally, I went back over my mix, and it is 95% done, but I didn't have time to upload it last night.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
There ought to be at least a hint of cowbell.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
But of course, there can never be enough cowbell.

From Corwood's post:
H. Liner notes make it more fun for everyone, so send them with your mix and, if you wish, post them here.

I'm just nervous because I'm the First One! (Also, proud. And thinking I deserve a cookie!)
