FAQ
"Where can I hear this?"
All the tracks are available in a big zip file here
"Is this webpage / tracklist / artwork official?"
Since this project isn't the most organized thing in the world,
there aren't many "official" designations. I put together this
page because it needed a page and no one else made one. The
tracklist order and cover art was decided upon by polls on the
message board.
"Will the tribute be available on CD?"
Maybe... if someone volunteers to offer it. CD-Rs won't be sold
(at least, not for more than a minimal cost for materials and
shipping). This is really just a "fan" thing, although I suppose
if a small label was interested in putting it out for real, that
would be cool. Contact me or William or post on the message board.
"What's the history on this tribute idea?"
A few of us on the message board started talking about it way back
in July 2004. I think William and Pulkmeh
get credit for the idea. William helped whip the project into
shape by volunteering to take submissions, in effect compiling
the album. The deadline was eventually set for February 10,
2005. As far as I know, everyone who turned in a song by that
date got their cover on the tribute. It was finally made
available late March, 2005.
