Sid is an "Everyman", railing against this tyranny, and in doing so becomes almost a Christ-like figure. He refuses to be "The Ice Cream Man". In Sid we see hope. Beauty. Love. He puts his foot down and stands up for what he believes in, which is what makes this more than just a...

I feel like you not only have to start from a good idea... Yeah, that's been my problem every time (except 97), so far. I'm forcing out the ideas. So everything you said, I'm *totally* with ya, and hoping that maybe this time around (assuming I'm still in it) I'll get a good idea to start from. Ser...

I had a dream once, that ended with us all going oooOOMFooooOOMF forever.

no, even I don't know what I meant by that

Minty, you're a schmuck.

I would like to be able to argue with this, but I cannot.

Face to face If you could get next to me That's all that we'd ever be And that's enough for me But second place Doesn't really appeal to me That's all I can ever be And that's not enough Not in this lifetime Not in this way If I'm not having a good time Then I'll walk away Not in this lifetime Not i...

Missed by 23 hours and 36 minutes. Damn.

Actually, I just did that to fuck with you. Submitted. Hah!

NUR EIN!!!!

EDIT: Judges, a new bounce of the track is coming, I accidentally cut off the last few seconds. And I may have overcompensated by sending the fixed track twice. Argh.

I've got something, but it's not a good something, and listening to it gives me enough of a headache that I'm out. Was fun while it lasted. Good luck all!

If you mean Eagle Rock in Los Angeles, then yeah, count on two hours or so with traffic.

I'm going to be recording parts of the show by duct-taping a Flip to the wall, so my kids can see what goes on. This is not useful information to any of you, but it's a good reminder to me that I need some duct tape. EDIT: Ah, I wish I had thought of the possible need for phantom power. I have a 4-p...

I'll be there around 5; I'm working in Carlsbad that day, so I won't have far to go. I can't help you with the touristy stuff, though.

I am sad. Because you sent this song instead of whatever you were going to send, which probably wouldn’t have been clouded by your sentimentality. So true, so true -- but if you heard what I'd submitted the day before, after throwing my hands in the air and giving up (I'll send it to ya if you enjo...

Well, if I follow my inspiration, then my follow-up to that sweet, tender 97 is going to be something that offends the crap out of everyone.

So, uh, I think I'm in good shape.

NUR EIN!!!!

Aaaaaaaaargh! *hits signboy with a folding chair, tags Glenny in*

While we're waiting on the results, who wants to run a book on when Minty will write his next "I'm dropping out" post?

"Not In This Lifetime"

Heh. But to be fair, I only did that in the last round. Before that, I wrote EMAILS, and deleted them without sending.

And by two others, we mean YOU and YOU.

You know who you are. Yes, YOU KNOW.

Wait, is that a mirror?

We shall call them Kevin, for they are us.

I think the judges owe the contestants a song. An exhibition track. I mean what a killer band: JB, FBF, Spud, NIv and Ross. The four judges who don't have personal issues should write and record a song for the fifth judge, as a get-well (or whatever's appropriate for the personal issues involved.) ...

I don't mind so much -- I'm just happy to have the new title already, whether I'm in or not -- but if the delay goes much longer, every one of us is going to submit a "Not In This Lifetime" song about the judging process. (sung to the sample) Holy fucking shit I wish the judges would com/p...

If anyone needs more help, I've converted the files to a .jpg

I think you just won round 4. Or possibly the internet. If I were a judge, I would grant you immunity. In my pants.

Not if you're picturing a little lemur holding a red plastic floppy disk, it doesn't.

plastic floppy monkey

I predict that at least three peeps will try to submit SongFight! entries in the next round under that name.

Thank you for posting the title/challenge despite the judging being unfinished. Frankly, the benefit of an extra night's sleep in which to let my brain process it will increase the odds of inspiration a lot more than starting to work on it and finding out I'm booted will piss me off. :D (did that se...
