Also, I've heard that The Assistant is called New Assistant. I'm leaning towards the first, but I figured I'd mention that.

When I asked Amanda, she said the former. So did a couple of her posse. I suppose the name could've changed in the past week but I doubt it.

That's what I assumed, thank you.

Thanks for the songs.

Some of those links don't work anymore. Can someone please repost the clear version of the new game?

-Umbrella  (I'm not totally sure if this is a "true" cover. She riffs a bit on the uke, then the original track kicks in over the PA. Amanda then lip-syncs (or maybe she is singing???) and strums the uke while dancing up a storm. At the end, she walks off while playing and chanting those lines that shall not be spoken. I guess it counts! Fuck it. The cover counts 'cause I say so.)

it not only counts, but redeems the song!

I used it for Blake says video and on the details the length came up as 35 minutes. although the size was still only about 4 or 5 MB.
When put on a mp3 player the song played to the end of the video then stopped, this is around 5 minutes in or so, when I fast forward to anything past that mark its still playing. Yet when played straight through it goes to the next song after 5 minutes.
It's not anything that makes a difference, just a little odd is all.
The same happened for the 'Mandy goes to med school' solo vid.

That happened to me, I was so pissed. I found a solution though. Using audacity, I re-exported it as an mp3, and it was fine. I can't remember if i had to chop off the excess or not.

New cover: "Marry Me" by St. Vincent.

and it's soooo good.  i've been singing it in my head all weekend.

It's been growing on me. I wasn't terribly keen on it the first time around but it is a sweet song. I ought to listen to the original someday.

Couple of extra notes:

-One of the working title songs is actually "You Owe Me a Coke." As I said in an earlier post, I got mixed up when asking Amanda about it the first time.
-Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" was played at the shows with Aberdeen City. I'm not 100% sure it counts, though. Amanda didn't play. She would just took envelope with chiclets and fed the chiclets to audience members and the band while they played. It was almost like a vamp as opposed to a real cover, especially since I recall them playing the same riff over and over. Oh well. If "Umbrella" can be counted as a cover....

True. I was just referring to the absurdness of it all. Eh. I say it counts. Covers can be strange beasts. I have a Japanese cover of the Rolling Stones's "Satisfaction" that's 15 seconds of shrill guitar feedback and random drum bashing. I play it way too often, really.

I was there. ;) I eventually drunk posted a bit about it.

Is there a recording of 1.1.94? That's not from the demo? I'm just curious as to when it was last played. Speaking of which, I had an idea for a thread which would contain information about when every song was last played. Would that be a good idea?
