Request-A-Song

[Owen from Final Fantasy]

Hello again

If anybody has any requests for a particular song, just name the song and the city and I'll do my best. In fact, if you have an entire setlist you'd want to propose, I'm ALL EARS.

The catch: there is a cost for every song request. Make sure that you really, really want to hear that song before you commit to purchasing it.

Has A Good Home

All songs are free, with the exception of:

Your Light Is Spent - a copy of your favourite work of fiction
Furniture - spelt flour chocolate cupcakes for at least 200 audience members
The Chronicles Of Sarnia - a string quartet who can sightread and are willing to accompany

Please Please Please - a Boss SP-1 Spectrum guitar effects pedal in working condition

He Poos Clouds

All songs are free, with the exception of:

If I Were A Carp - a large, airtight bottle
The Pooka Sings - twenty large carafes of coffee for all the dozing audience members

Spectrum 14th Century

The Book Of Butchery - a pair of Calvin Klein socks
Cockatrice & Chickatrice - twenty tambourines (will be returned after the song)

Final Fantasy Plays To Please

Horsetail Feathers - free
Ultimatum - free

Covers and Miscellany

Fantasy - a bottle of Hendrick's Gin
Honour The Dead, Or Else! - $1 000
Any Les Mouches or Tenderizer Material - a bottle of Hendrick's Gin, with shaker and dry vermouth
Chopin, Schumann or Beethoven on the piano, Bach or Ysaye on the violin - free, why not?

Some of these prices may seem prohibitive. I assure you that a set without requests will be as complete as I can fashion.

[Owen from Final Fantasy]

All songs not mentioned are either shoo-ins ("Hey Dad", "Paris 1919"), or shall remain open to negotiation.

Thank you.

[IamFrostey]

I'd love to hear The Miner Becomes Forgetful in Boston, though the album isn't up on the list. Free is good, though I'd be willing to pay... if it involves crafts!

[jollyness]

Owen you're funny. Your effort and involvement have cheered up my hungover morning.
You're not playing London though so I wont be making a request.

Come on people, someone request The Chronicles Of Sarnia.

[karpe]

the shame is, i might have been able to throw together a string quartet for chicago. AHHHHH!

[victoria]

Guelph (tomorrow!)

that's when the audience died
do you love?
took you two years to win my heart
peach, plum, pear
jars of lars (oh, please!!)
what do you think will happen next?
some Schumann on piano because it's free.
Louis takes off his shirt!

I would love to hear 'if I were a carp' ... how large of a bottle are we talking? Will you take instead, something in the form of dollar store Final Fantasy Link memorobilia (candy included)?

Any or all of the above would be acceptable

[jon]

i'm going to bring the socks to new york but are an actor's revenge and interview fair game?

also, can you either lower the price of honour the dead or else by at least $980 or take payment plans?

[Deleted]

Woah woah Mr. Owen, do ya think you're letting this all get to your head? 1000 bucks for Honour the Dead or Else?? While it may be my favorite final fantasy song, I'm not givin you more than 5 bucks and pack of smokes for it.

hell for a bag of good weed i'll cover Divorce the ones you love, arctic circle, carload of whatever, and honour the dead or else in one continuous piece. but i mean like gooood weed.

I'm a YES, but with Horsetail Feathers and Ultimatum too.
And Prelude Number 17 in Ab Major by Chopin? Is that too specific?

I think that list made me laugh a lot harder than I've laughed at anything else on these boards in a long time.

[sarpedon]

I'll sell you my soul to play Scandal at the Parkade in at least two upcoming shows! you never come to virginia (much less, southeastern), so I just want a newer fan recording. same thing with Lewis

[Owen from Final Fantasy]

Victoria: Oh dear, I forgot anybody knew about the Heartland songs. I'm working on a new version of Lewis so I can't play it tomorrow.

If I Were A Carp requires an airtight bottle of capacity three gallons or more. And I cannot fulfill this request at that time. The show in Guelph is a sit-down show and people will stand up and leave if I play that song. I'll add the other songs, though.

Ick: Actor's Revenge is not as good as you remember (and it really only works with 16-bit string patches), but I'll give it a shot. Interview is a yes as well. Where?

mhmm: I agree, "Honour The Dead Or Else" is worth nothing more than 5 bucks, perhaps even less. However, these prices are fixed based on expense of production, not on the worth of the material.

Ren: LOVE No. 17 but I'd need a couple of weeks to get it going. I'll play either Ultimatum or Horsetail Feathers, probably Horsetail Feathers cause Ultimatum is kind of dark and I've never played it before.

Sarpedon: Scandal at the Parkade, wow! I could play that one, but not in Virginia... North Carolina, maybe? D.C.?

[jules]

How much for a full version of Jars of Lars when you next come visiting?

Oh and definitely up for the tambourines as well

[ender605]

It's a month early for the Denton show, but I've been really wanting to hear you do "Telegraph" again. I didn't yell loud enough for it a year ago in Austin. I don't know if there's really much else. I'm sure "What Do You Think Will Happen Next" is already a standard part of your set now.

I'm sure I'll probably want to get more specific the closer it gets.

[weirdear]

In Edmonton (on the 17th), you should play your cover of 'This Modern Love' and Please Please Please, even though I don't have a 'Boss SP-1 Spectrum guitar effects pedal in working condition'. Hopefully this Modern Love is free. Looking around my room, I have like nothing but textbooks, Vitamins, and clothes... so I can't really give you anything worth anything.

Maybe the fact that you'd make someone very happy in the middle of mid-terms would be enough?

So pretty much the two songs I want to hear are either a) not on the list or b) too expensive


It's a good thing all your other songs are amazing, or I might be upset.

[heterocera]

To add on to the Edmonton request, I will seriously be beyond ecstatic if you can play "That's When the Audience Died"!! ;D

Also the "Peach, Plum, Pear" and "Good Mother" covers would be really sweet! As to payment...how does a kiss on the cheek sound? Ha ha ha, I'll try and come up with something more creative.
