In case you haven't heard. Our friends over at AG are hosting their annual Absolute Goodol and the Goos themselves are judging the final round. So head on over to AG ... http://www.absolutegoo.com/agupdate.html ... to get all the details. This is the time for all you musicians to show your stuff.

I'd love to know if any WOGers decide to enter the contest. Let us know if you do.

It seems to be a really cool contest, but after reading all the pages, I don't entirely get the concept (bad english :/)

So, a band or a person alone can make a cover of any Goo songs. With both instruments or voice ? Video or audio format ? I didn't see the adress either.

I'm sorry if this infos are on the page and I didn't see it.

Thanks a lot for this link Shannon =)

I think I'll take part in this contest, it would be a lot of fun for sure.

But I don't think you can send two participation, so I need to choose between playing bass and singing, haaard!

I'm better at playing bass but I enjoy singing so much!

Rule #4 says ...

4. You may submit no more than 3 entries in any one category.

I take that to mean you're allowed to send in up to 3 entries as either an individual or a group. So you could do both the bass and sing. Go for it. I can't wait to hear your entries.

I've contemplated doind this every year since I think 2005 and I've never actually done it.  I don't know if I have anything I can decently record it with. :-/

I can't sing .... at all. And the only instrument I can still play is a flute. I'm way too big a chicken to do this .... I flat out admit it.

Oh you have do to it Carlyn!

You know, I'm just playing bass for less than five  months now, and even if my teacher keep saying I'm good at it, I still thinking that I suck. And I even never sing in front of someone!

So I really don't have any expectations for this contest, but I have the deep conviction that if you enjoy it, it's enough. And when you enjoy what you're doing, people can feel it for sure!

So I can make both, playing and singing, cool!
Or maybe I can try playing AND singing, but the only song I can cover like that (with really simplified bass lines) is Long Way Down. Maybe I'd try it.

THE GOOS JUDGE? Holy pancake, that's (or at least should be) enough to make anyone feel self-conscious.
