Rob and I talked about this last night. Let’s pick an artist each month and have everyone learn a song or two of theirs. A good way to pick the artist would be to hold nominations in the comments of this post (nominate one artist) and then I’ll change the poll to reflect the nominations. When an artist is chosen I’ll take them out of the poll and put in someone new, but I’ll leave the ones already there for at least another month or two.
I have the final say on nominations and artist selection, but unless I feel strongly about a particular artist or your picks are really bad I’ll probably go with what you guys want.
Also, Jay posted a bunch of pictures again from the open mic.

If I continued, I’d just be listing every artist I like.
There should also be a signup for the songs, so that if we were doing a Dylan night, everyone isn’t doing a version of Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall and Like A Rolling Stone.
Pick one.
Also, certain artists won’t be allowed because people cover them every week anyway.
No Dave Matthews Band.
No Radiohead.
No bands that I’d be embarrassed to play. You know what I’m talking about.
Since I don’t participate in the Open Mics, I will take a little liberty with my nomination:
Talking Heads
Adam will be happy. He does a great cover of “Psycho Killer”. I’m serious.
You know I am partial to the Beatles, but I’d try to participate in whatever you decide in your infinite wisdomjohnny cash?
John
Is that a slight against the Johnny Cash tribue I tried to do a while back? Well, there wasn’t much time to prepare since we did it right after he died.
Dylan. No contest.
THE STREETS.
MOST DEFINITELY.
So far I have Bob Dylan and Talking Heads. I’ll assume the Streets is a joke suggestion. I’m nominating Beck and Rob nominates Ween.
NO JOKE!
EVERYONE LIKES BRITISH RAP
GOO GOO DOLLS
I second the Ween motion.
