Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
ok. I'm kind of dense so I want to be clear...we each pick one song about baseball and/or broken noses?
(also, if it's not a problem, could I go a little further along in the list? I'm super, super busy this weekend and I may have to do some research...)
You pick one or the other subject. Beyond that I have no idea of the mechanics. Perhaps detailed instructions could be provided?
You pick one or the other subject.
Right.
(off to get some helpful suggestions from my Baseball-Worshipping, Music-Memory Gifted bandmate...because nothing is leaping to mind for me.)
I won't be able to post anything until I get home tonight, but if that's soon enough I'm fine with being second.
OK, Re-ordered List Numero Uno (I just moved y'all to the end to keep things nice & circular):
What are the other options?
You could mail it from another account, but as you wisely point out, if you want to download songs, you'll need the password, anyway.
And to clarify: if we do it via gmail, we just e-mail the song file as an attached file to the "buffistarawk" gmail account?
Yep. You could also email it from buffistarawk to buffistarawk.
I'm kind of dense so I want to be clear...we each pick one song about baseball and/or broken noses?
Yeah, as DX pointed out, it's one or the other. The songs doesn't necessarily have to be ABOUT baseball or broken noses, but it should mention one of the two at some point. Actually, though, I think we should give each other the leeway to stretch "baseball" into "sports" and "broken noses" into "some sort of injury". When you email the song to the buffistarawk account, be sure to write up a paragraph or more about why you chose that song and, if you wish, how it fits into the mix.
I want to make a note about encoded songs, too: I think that they should be encoded as at least 192 kbps mp3s. I believe that everyone should be able to use mp3s, but some of use can't convert iTunes songs or oggs or wmas. Also 192 kbps is generally considered CD-level quality, so don't skimp.
So, if I were first, I'd probably log into the buffistarawk account and send a message to buffistarawk with my song, which I've ripped as a 192 kbps mp3, attached and a paragraph (knowing me, a long paragraph) in the message line. I'd probably put my number in the mix and the name of the song on the subject line, as in "1. 'Pete Rose Affinity' - Summer Hymns" (which is not the track I'm going to use, but one that leaps to mind).
I created a label called Emmett Mix, so after I sent my message, I'd go to the Inbox and apply the label to the message to mark it in case we do this again in the future.
Does that clarify the process?
Does that clarify the process?
Absolutely. Thanks! I'll e-mail you for the password right now.

I'm planning on using "The Rockin' Smell Song," which is about noses, albeit uninjured ones. I may not know much about 6 (7?) year olds, but I find it hard to believe that he won't love the line "Love is a nose but you'd better not pick it" (even if it takes him years to appreciate the Neil Young joke.)
thanks hayden! Process pretty much clear now.
