Slog - Comments on Article du Jour http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/article_du_jour Erin Jorgensen Covers the Song of Your Choice One of the founding geniuses behind the French Project will sing your song of choice en français and play it on her mellifluous marimba. Priceless! (Listen to her dreamy cover of Thin Lizzy's "The Cowboy Song" here.) Strangercrombie: Once a year, we do something good....

What is Say Hi?

And what are the details on the "Awesome" original song? Is it going to have anything to do with the winner, or will they just record one of their songs and say "hey, we recorded this for you!"

You'll get the most bang for your buck!

1. Listen to Say Hi here.

2. From Basil Harris, bass player for "Awesome":

"Awesome" will write a song based on the winner's topic of choice. It can be about the winner or about the winner's girlfriend or favorite barista or whatever. We're pretty flexible. We just ask that the winner please not demand something douchey like, say, "here's a copy of my memoirs. Now make a song out of it, monkeys!"

It'll be a custom-made song and we're happy to work out reasonable details with the winner, but please don't ask us to churn out a nine-minute prog anthem like last year.

And really, just fucking bid on the song. Your money's going to FareStart, you cheapskates!

Dear Nick:

If you want to take your sadism out for a walk, may I suggest this package instead?

I have heard of Say Hi to Your Mom, and in fact wondered if that's who you were talking about. Their name/names is/are confusing me!

And yes, I am a cheapskate.
