Good Lord, man, shouldn't you be saving the really tricky stuff for the later challenges?

Who says we didn't? Be afraid...very afraid...

The first challenge has been posted:

Write a song about a childhood nightmare. Include significant use of rubato. (2 minute minimum) (your submission is due January 29th 11:59PM)

Shadows are always welcome.

The profiles of all the competitors have been posted. Sign ups are officially over, but anyone is welcome to shadow rounds.

Little over 2 days left to sign up. 30+ are in so far.

1. The sidekick isn't involved in the running of SpinTunes. What he does in his free time is up to him, if he decides to review Song Fight, SpinTunes or Masters Of Song Fu I just blog it cause I find it entertaining. 2. Maybe I'm not a Song Fighter (idk), never really thought of myself as one, but i...

Among the Songfighters who've participated in Spintunes are DJ Ranger Den, Noah McLaughlin, both Durand brothers, and myself. Spintown was actively posting on the Songfight boards when he came up with the idea, which was inspired by Nur Ein. Songfighters have also been judges of the competition, su...

If SongFighters enjoy & compete in it...it has something to do with SongFight.

Yeah it'll overlap with FAWM, but anything you write for SpinTunes can also be used for FAWM. No real conflict there. Same with Song Fight depending on the challenges we come up with this time.

The time has come for another go around. I updated the rules, made a draft of the schedule, and posted the sign up info. Hope to see many of you in round 1.

The badness & length put it right up there on the list of worst I've heard.

http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/12/song-fight-review-in-time-of-crisis.html Ross Durand - Great performance of a topical song. Creates a sense of urgency that drives the song nicely. Everyone else can go home now, Ross just kicked your ass. Billy & The Psychotics - Great sound, love the gui...

http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/12/song-fight-review-thats-enough.html I'm going to be really short on time for awhile. I'm in the process of moving, I have SpinTunes #4 to plan & other things going on taking up a lot of time. So in an effort to plow through this round quickly I will not be...

I didn't even look in the review forum, but here are my reviews: http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/12/circle-of-titles-2.html Milo Dunderville - I'll Ruin This Title suggested by DJ Ranger Den Funky from the get go, and you never ruined the song. Will probably get more plays on my MP3 player than ...

Yeah, but to be fair, that way part of your reviews boils down to "by the way I care about people using the title. Hey Guy A, you didn't use the title. Hey Guy B, you didn't use the title. [...]" No shit, sherlock! True, but if I'm going to knock someone shouldn't I tell them why even if ...

I said that in my own review Spud. The title thing is a personal preference. I've actually said that in a number of my past reviews.

Song Fight.... Enter one.

I am not a musician, nor do I play one on the internet.

I'm finally caught up with reviews here...which means I did actually vote for the first time in awhile. Hated this title...and hated that most people didn't actually use it in the song (even though I know you don't have to). http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/11/song-fight-review-last-afternoon-of....

http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/11/song-fight-review-occupy-my-heart.html Jon Eric - Ok...based on what I know of Jon I have to say I disagree with him on most political issues, including those in this song. MESSAGE ASIDE, I thought this was really well done. The music & lyrics held my atte...

http://spintown79.blogspot.com/2011/11/song-fight-review-has-been-for-years.html The HATE Noise featuring Mean Gene Goatee - For fucks sake...I don't want to do this...but I have to say something nice about The HATE Noise. The track got me bobbing my head instead of covering my ears for once. The r...

Billy & The Psychotics - Wasn't a huge fan of the bridge, but other than that I loved it. Great entry. (would have voted) Merijamby - Cute, kinda funny. Probably not enough of either to get a lot of replay value, but it's good enough to get a chuckle from me the first time around. (would have v...

So once again Spin you're judging a song on lyrics, with no mention of beat, melody, structure, or performance. Did we rock and shock you like Loudness? Did we bore you to tears like Belle and Sebastian? Lyrics are usually the most important part of a song to me...so yeah...if I dislike the lyrics ...

Hostess Mostess - I was only half listening when I first played this, and it came off really creepy. Glad I listened again...a song about mans best friend is a lot more fun than a song about a sex offender. (would have voted) Yen Sing Mot - I had a thing for Ice on American Gladiators, and I pictur...
