In the end, I settled on a Final Fantasy 7 tribute. I told my daughter about it and, again, she wants in. We may end up submitting two songs. One for her and one for me. Both FF7 style. We'll see... Gah... I'm out this week, too. Work and holidays got the better of me. Mother's Day, Teacher's Week,...

Astrolamb Very well done! The music in this sounds like a solid track. Love the guitar solo between verses. Some might call the vocals "pitchy", but I think they fit the mood of the song perfectly. This is going on my ipod the moment I get home. Voted. Berkeley Social Scene You curled you...

johndisk0: Impressive. But not really a song. During that diatribe there are several great takes on the subject, why not pick a few and write a song around them instead of running through them all at once? The declaratory tone occasionally sounds smug. Having said all of that, you are to be commend...

Dig the classic rock sound on You Don't Care . The song I most associate with riots is that Sublime song that has the line: it's about coming up and staying on top screaming 187 at a motherfuckin' cop "April 24, 1992, there was a riot on the streets tell me where were you?" -sublime So fu...

I offer myself as a guest vocalist if you need it! I can write the inclusion or you can. Either or. Make sure you are ready to no longer be in Nur Ein X, though

Old GnR or "new" GnR? In my opinion, progress peaked at "Use Your Illusion". I keep both albums on rotation in my players. I like "Estranged", "You Could Be Mine", and "Dead Horse". "November Rain" was good only so far as everyone bought th...

That is assuming you don't pick the wrong day in the widget, right?

I don't even know why I'm posting this. It doesn't even read funny. I'm at work and bored 10 minutes before I am leaving for the day. You know what? Never mind.

This song gets all of the win. Of course, the Sifl and Olly version is just as good, too.

No one has said "Can't Stand Losing You" yet? "I guess you'd call it suicide But I'm too full to swallow my pride" I love this song! It totally reminds me of the movie "Heathers" with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder (*sigh*). "Teenage suiciiiiiide, DON'T DO IT!&q...

Too many to name.... Dead Man's Party, Weird Science, Private Life, whatever was played in "Back to School" with Rodney Dangerfield...

So does that mean you kept with the challenge by getting all of your music from the garbage?

(spoiler alert: jd0 is not a fan of The Avengers)

So I'm curious to hear peoples' interpretations of the prompt's requirements in general (not just this round). So far I've been playing it safe and explicitly including the assigned titles in the lyrics, but how much leeway is this here? If song centers, for example, around a metaphor that's obviou...

I updated my post with an acoustic version of "The Four Horsemen". I forgot about it until I found it link-hopping youtube this morning. Just wanted to share.

Ugh, I've been so beat down with work and still trying to finish the Nein X songs I missed, that I have not worked this fight at all. I really hope I have the time to come up with something today and tomorrow

I should just quit my day job. Where are my priorities??

"Shiny Happy People". While it is a catchy tune, I favor it most because Dennis Leary made fun of it

"Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike. I want the Shiny people over here and the Happy people over here!"

While I know this is Wings, "Band on the Run" is one of my favorite songs, too Close enough for government work.

Mine's this year. Thanks for the reminder, jerk. (I was not planning on attending.) Oh believe me, I have no intention of attending mine, either. However, next year will be the one year that I will actually be close enough and available in schedule to attend. Now, I'm going to have to come up with ...
