Local band Skeletons with Flesh on Them sold themselves last year for Strangercrombie. They offered to write a song for the winner of their auction. Here is that song:

This year in Strangercrombie, we have two great bands— Pillow Army and Exohxo—offering to write a song just for you. Over the weekend, the auction took a competitive turn on Facebook when Pillow Army posted a message on their own Wall and Exohxo's Wall:

We are officially at war with the band Exohxo and it's time to take sides. Help us defeat them by bidding on our Strangercrombie auction. If you're the winning bidder, we will write a song about the topic of your choice. May we suggest a song about our glorious victory over Exohxo?

Over e-mail, I asked Pillow Army lead singer Tim Franklin about why he thinks his band should "win" this year's Strangercrombie fight with Exohxo:

I think people should bid on Pillow Army because we have the most experience. Our repertoire is full of commissioned songs like 'Thanks For the Sores, Jeff Myers' and ''Kate, I'm Having Your Baby'. They can bid with confidence knowing that their revenge, cry for help, and/or corporate slogan is in the hands of professionals. Besides, I have never heard Exohxo's Danny Oleson say a single good thing about babies or the homeless.

Franklin adds, "I believe the only commissioned song Exohxo has ever written was for Tim Eyman's birthday." Snap! What does Exohxo have to say about all this? Stay tuned.

If you want to ensure Pillow Army's dominance in this year's Strangercrombie fight, you should go here and bid often. If you want Pillow Army to fail, you can buy Exohxo here.

Strangercrombie: Once a year, we do something good and then bands go and turn it into a blood-feud but that's okay because it's really all just for charity.™
