Based on the stuff folks have posted so far this is going to be another killer month. My ears are looking forward to end of the month, but my brain is dreading narrowing the field.

Finished voting! Really enjoyed a bunch of the covers, even though it's hard for me to get excited about Sloan themselves.

Voted for:
Los Sloanly Boys - False Alarm
The Five Mod Four - Smeared Twice, Removed Once
Hen's Teeth - Witch's Wand

Honorable mentions:
hench - too many hooks
Situations - I Am The Cancer

voting opens up for +/- 24 hours on the day after submissions close. so in the case of last month:

• entries were accepted through end of night on sunday, august 1st

• the voting link went live on monday, august 2nd. announced it on fb and updated the post here.

• the voting link closed this morning, august 3rd.

Ah, I'll have to be quicker on the draw next time...thanks!

(Hopefully the forum members who were bummed that the conversation is mostly on FB will chime in here at some point)

Dylan, nicely done! Especially on the guitar leads and the "trumpets."

Sloan is pretty much my favorite band, so this whole month was a treat.

miscellaneous owl - Bells On
Jeff Fox - On The Horizon
Kyle Richards and Bobby Phillipps - Forty-Eight Portraits
A's votes were:
Situations - I Hate My Generation

Oms en série - Holocaust: Thunderstorm ambience and nice sparse arrangement made this my favorite of the several versions

Anthony Harrison - Thirteen: Excellent job fleshing out the original with jangly Beatles flavor

Honorable Mentions!
