So, here is is. This month's theme, which was actually voted as july's theme, is Life in the Gutter. It's about the homeless, the orphans, the sick, society's lowlives. The contributors' job was to find a song or two that they felt relate to this theme and put it in the comp .. And here the comp is, ready for your consumption!

We're all found out! Well done!

Also, any comments on the comp, theme, tracks are of course appreciated.

Stone Birds-Bon Iver
Easy.

You're right :) That's one down.

Shoot I thought I submitted some, I guess it didn't send...

Well: Stone Birds- Dntel
Alfred- Lucero

Right on Stone Birds, but not on Alfred!

Seems Stone Birds is the most predictable :D

well duh, i put two of my most favorite artists in the comp i wasn't looking for my submissions to be hard to guess i just chose some that i thought fit the category

Loathesomepete - tom waits

tore - michael jackson

jtwilliams - old 97's

alfred - lucero

i'm probably wrong on the last 2 atleast

^No need to be defensive. I'm not pointing fingers, just making observations ;)

jtwilliams and Old 97's is correct!

an interesting compilation....i feel i had a different idea of "life in the gutter"....very nice set up tore....

Tore- Spirit

alfred: every time i die

Yep...

And yep!

the bullet - micahel jackson

tore - spose

loathesomepete - lucero

Yep.

This one is correct as well :)

last guess for me:

bob - god bullies
tore - tom waits
the bullet - fang
jtwilliams - spose
bob - ralph mctall

The bolded one is correct!

Tore, you are aware that "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable", right? I can't download the comp. Are we waiting until after the guessing game?

Edit: oh, and also

Tore- Ralph McTell

It has worked. Not sure why it happens, but I've seen it before and it is only temporary. Try again in a few minutes if it doesn't work. If the problem persists, I'll make it available elsewhere.

.. And correct guess of course :)

Alright, my last guess

bob- fang

Another good guess :D

the bullet - spose
jtwilliams - tom waits

this isn't a guess this is the only last 2

Alright, thanks for wrapping it up :)

So, any impressions on the comp so far? To generate a little discussion, I can say I was a little surprised this time. The contributions were, for the most part, definetly not what I expected .. For example, I expected there to be more melancholy/sadness this time around and so on, so some of the tracks, f.ex the marvellous slut one, surprised me quite a bit.
