Thank you -- I really like your description! I finally have a 'review-quote' to stick in my SongFight signature block.

Who Called The Ape? Odilon Green VERSE 1 During a ball game with my angles I hit an errant pop fly Say goodbye to the dinosaurs But I'll have another try I'm taking applications For a new species to rule the earth Maybe dolphin, maybe elephant Give my favorite planet a chance at rebirth CHORUS I'm ...

I completed a song. I sent it in. I listened again. I realized that my mix was truly, truly awful. I redid it into something slightly less awful, and sent in a corrected version. Now I've had to throw myself at our Fightmaster's mercy, to substitute my new version for the old. I don't know whether h...

Odilon Green [/url] I think... After re-reading the second half of the review I wrote for you, that was needlessly dick-ish of me and I don't think that's fair or appropriate. I blame a shitty Tuesday. My gripes are not as big a deal as I made them sound. My apologies. Thanks; I'm glad to know my s...

Berkeley Social Scene [/url] Quite the cool little rocker; I find the music on this one to be really top-notch. Not quite as entranced by the lyrics, but still a whole heck of a lot to like here, especially that "drunk season ahead" hook. On balance, a vote from me. big whatever [/url] So...

Drunk Season (c) 2014 Odilon Green (DRUNK GUY:) Hi, I'm just an average guy who's hit a bad patch and took a little trip down to the corner bar. But now I need to get home, so... I drive my car while I'm drunk on beer Drunk on beer Drunk on beer I drive my car while I'm drunk on beer But my home is ...

There's something like 300 new songs per week there! (Although, as Caravan Ray pointed out, very few seem to be vocal.) It does look interesting, and, like SongFight, it looks like there's no commitment, so one can drop in and out as one pleases.

Odilon Green I read the lyrics for this song before hearing it, and I was really looking forward to this one because the story has many twists and is really interesting. But I wasn’t expecting this song to sound like an alien sang it, lol . Sigh. That's my nerd voice, not my alien voice. Isn't that...

Berkeley Social Scene - Nicely soft-rocking and very polished. I definitely liked it, especially the pre-chorus and chorus, but didn't quite love it enough for a vote. Caravn Ray - Cool punky music and snotty vocals. A very solid job. VOTE The Chocolate Chips - I think this immediate redirecting fr...

Her (c) 2014 Odilon Green VERSE 1 The moment I saw her, it was like we were alone on this Earth. The thought of our union gave my sad and disappointing life worth A pure love, like ours, can blossom even if we've just met Even if, at the start, she chose to try to play hard to get I asked her on a ...

I just submitted my entry earlier today, my first SongFight song in over a year. It's kind of last minute, and really, really silly, but sometimes you've just got to let your silliness run free.

I'm assuming anyone entering a song in this fight is required to send in a photo of themselves striking the side plank pose just like Jonathan Mann in the video for the cover collage. Isn't that right?

I am so very, very excited by this challenge. This is going to be lots of fun ...

Luckily, the subject is broad enough for multiple interpretations; it just means we'll have to work that much harder.

It's going to be hard keeping "My Girlfriend, Who Lives In Canada" (from Avenue Q) out of my head . . . (Sorry if I've just put it in yours.) Time to get creative!

Although I've voted before, I haven't written reviews, and the process of putting my thoughts in writing made choosing who to vote for even more difficult than it already was (which was very). Should I be voting for songs that are nicely recorded and produced but just aren't my cup of tea? Songs tha...

(Odilon Green) It was gonna be great We had selected the date And not a single detail left up to chance A torrid night of romance Engaged in that ancient dance All to remind us that we're woman and man But then just as we began Showing off where we're not tan We heard a most unwelcome knock on our d...

I planned to submit a track that sounded Gary Glitter-esque. Instead, my efforts at 'voice acting' make me sound like a nerdy teenager (who can't sing, but that part is true no matter what or how I'm singing). I still plan on realizing one day that these songs never seem to sound at the end like the...

Yeah, with this title I'm going to have to be careful not to get excessively self-indulgent here.

Definitely a cool cover -- and I look forward to actually listening to the music this weekend!

Since my roboticization of my vocals made them largely unintelligible ( ;) ), I may as well start off the lyrics thread. Odilon Green ** We We alone still remain Through seasons of glowing rain Our bodies cannot feel pain (they said) I I came from oceans away I hoped that you'd let me stay If I just...

My first SongFight and . . . zero votes (other than my own)! Oh well, nowhere to go but up . . .
