Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)
Thanks! I didn't think that "sleeping in the park" bit was *too* over the top. Just the right amount of over the top. 8-) It wasn't, taken on its own -- just unfortunate that a similar rhyming pattern seemed to develop among several of your co-competitors. Oh! And my song is mostly I, IV,...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)
Interesting that several of you decided to purposely construct chord structures that are anything BUT I-IV-V, presumably to spite the whole concept of the optional challenge. Anyway, look what we found in the park in the dark! We will take him home, we will call him Clark! ** Add – The ratio of titl...

Re: Stuntman rolls a car 8.5 times, it's (A New World Record prefight)
Agreed (about the uneven pacing AND about how difficult that must be). They basically came right out and said their mission statement was to showcase the stunt work, and they were certainly successful there -- so it shouldn't be a big surprise if the storytelling part was just OK. To keep the conver...

Re: Stuntman rolls a car 8.5 times, it's (A New World Record prefight)
Saw this movie (the one referenced in the thread title) Saturday evening. It was enjoyable -- one of the best I've seen in a theater in a while, which admittedly is a VERY low bar -- although it did feel a little longer than necessary. Hoping for some good songs to come out of this fight: "Plea...

Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)
I’ve visited Nevada exactly once, about 21 years ago. It was just a quick excursion up across the Hoover Dam followed by an overnight sojourn in Las Vegas, in the middle of a week-long family vacation in Arizona. Feels like an entire lifetime ago, it was such a different time – it was a little while...

Re: Need to save my pennies... (I Need A Vacation reviews)
I had hoped the "maybe never" was implied by the rest of the song. It was. I guess that's why I was expecting to hear it articulated. But it didn't detract at all, I understand your reasoning for making it implicit rather than explicit. There's definitely a burnout epidemic going on right...

Re: Need to save my pennies... (I Need A Vacation reviews)
Well. This one certainly seems more manageable (by about 8/9ths). A few thoughts about vacation songs: ** Add – feels like a throwback, WAY back, to the “genesis” of early 00s indie nerd-rock. I dig it, especially how its themes touch upon the universality of human misery and suffering. Berkeley Soc...

Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)
It took forever and a day, but I finally listened to all of these. Most of them two or three times. And now I’ll share some brief thoughts. Since the 1000th title has brought in so many alumni, much of what I have to say here will be nostalgic in nature, but I might make a few fleeting mentions to t...

Re: Hammered Dulcimers can have well over 100 strings (Have Fun With That reviews)
Some first-listen off-the-cuff remarks about this week's songs. Berkeley Social Scene : Guitar tone in the intro felt like it was headed in an "Anarchy in the UK" direction but then it turned into more of a garage punk re-re-revival. Could have gone for it even more on the vocals. Please d...

WreckdoM missing from the "Song Fight! Review-O-Matic & ZIP mirror" and when I clicked the "trigger an update" link it just told me that the most recent songs are already there.
So OK, I'll just do this the old fashioned way.
