Re: And sometimes if you don't (If You Believe It prefight)

Just need to mix down, submit, post the lyrics and I'll be in. It started out as a corny country lyric until I asked myself, "what would Prince do with this?" and while none of the individual tracks are up to what TAFKAP could've done, overall, I think it came out pretty well! Optional cha...

Re: Don't be sad I tore you a new one (Tearing Up reviews)

Well, there, I guess I had something to say about all the songs... well almost Oops, sorry... "well put together, track and vocals, chord pattern gets a little repetitive, it feels like the track only does its weirdness when the vocal isn't going on. At the end I don't really remember what I h...

Re: Don't be sad I tore you a new one (Tearing Up reviews)

Review notes after one listen to each song... votes to me, Mellfire Trifecta, My Social Uniform and Pigfarmer Jr. Dave Stiles - I'd be interested in hearing this done faster, it's just a bit too plodding for my taste. Maybe a bit more variety in the chord pattern, or a few unusual chords here and th...

Thanks, got my confirmation. Sure did appreciate getting an extra couple days' heads up on the title this time around, feel free to do that any time :-)

Re: Not a single #1 hit out of (One Thousand Cuts reviews)

I don't feel quite ready to do song-by-song reviews; I'm still at the "what songs do I like?" stage. Votes to TV's Kyle, Panacotta Army, Robyn Mackenzie, and me (just so I won't end up with zero votes). I'll try to do better next time... I haven't done much recording / mixing in the last c...

Re: Tearing up, throwing away, letting go now (Tearing Up prefight)

sent in a song; I see from the cover art that my use of the title wasn't exactly unique, and I didn't do anything with the optional challenge, but I did at least try to fix things that were mentioned in the reviews for One Thousand Cuts. Some weirdness with the email stuff, I'm not sure it sent, so ...

Re: A thousand swords get you (One Thousand Cuts prefight)

Well, since it looks like it's old folks' week, I just sent something off. If I'm too late, sobeit... this is the first recording I've done in a long time, and I've got a lot of relearning to do, but a song is a song... even if it sounds like a King Arthur song. Will post the lyric when I see if I m...

Re: This time for real (Tricked For The Last Time prefight)

Not going to have a song for this fight, but just for the record, I did actually do the optional challenge! My song for June 20 2003 was "So Long Atticus" and my song for October 21, 2003 was "Foam Rubber," which is a sequel to Atticus.

So I guess I'm about a year behind on joining in on this, but I'm going to try to do a cover of Brother Machine's "Step Up" and I'll just post it here if/when I get something. I've figured out all the lyrics except the very first line (which appears again at the end of the song, but it's a...

Sending something in. Ignored the optional challenge, just kinda proud of myself for pulling together a song for the first time in two+ years.

Re: But in all seriousness... (Zero Gravity reviews)

Micah - Rachel Maddow (MSNBC) had been talking about creating a fake secessionist movement to see if the Russian trolls jumped on it. They came up with a bunch of names (like "New Mexit") and were having online voting. Not sure if they even followed through on it, I've had too much politic...

Got an idea for this one last night, so if I can get the recording done by Saturday (or before the songs are posted, thank you fudge factor), I'll be in. If the songs get posted within a few days of the deadline, I'll even be briefly "current" :-)

Re: It's a quantity of time (Forty Three hours prefight)

For the record, there have been a couple fights where the cover was a .gif file - Cloud Cuckoo Land being one. Don't know if that involved a lot of special coding or not, but I'm pretty sure it's not the only one. In fact the first 20 or so fights are mostly .gif files, though they don't appear to b...
