barondaveOkay, it's time for another round of Mix CDs. This is a long-standing project for me, and I think it would make an interesting mix to exchange along the ides of the previous ones, spurred on by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mle292 and dreamshark. Plus, I get to play DJ.
Crossover Songs: Music you want to hear done by artists at Marscon (or in other venues).
More than just covers: "I think it would be great if you did this!" The artist is under no obligation, of course. I plan on making a label with a blank line: "I suggest you perform this one _____". Give enough info for a proper cite so they can get the rights/assign parody credit.
We all have music that isn't familiar to others, and we all like to watch our friends perform. Indeed, I have a lot of music from friends who don't travel in the same circle, and would love to cross fertilize fandom. (Sound's kinky, neh?) Marscon will be full of Demented Artists, but they songs don't have to be funny. They can be filked, though. Some are well known songs that deserve a new audience; some are unfamiliar to most that deserve a wider audience.
Cover These!
