The Only Way Out (shadow) by Virgo Power you can say that there’s no point in trying, anyway you can say that nobody is listening when you say that the world is better off without you, anyway you can say all this and be sorry, every day, but the only way out the only way out the only way out is thr...

Welp, I'm in with my very short and (hopefully) sweet shadow. I really struggled with this round! I had NOTHING, just bupkis for most of the week. Then I made a beat I liked, but had no other music, let alone lyrics. I made a horrible dirge that I didn't like at all, then decided to throw the whole ...

Yeah no the links don't work

Yeah I was talking about the official archive artist page. Oh I didn't know there was a SF Jukebox page! Cool. I will ask him. Note that lunkhead runs the jukebox. :) Haha yes, i noticed that belatedly upon posting. :lol: Btw the Jukebox server seemed to be down last night. I'll try again.

Thanks so much for all the reviews, guys!!! Virgo Power - I like the stompy drums, the verses work well and the harmonies on the bridge are really nice, but the chorus feels like there's nothing to really set it apart from the rest of the song and it might be least melodically interesting section of...

Hi, I recently discovered the wonderful music of Brother Machine/Seth Gibbs (RIP). I downloaded all the songs on his BM page but Nivs pointed out that he had many other aliases that weren't linked... Is there any way someone could edit his artist page to add them? Right now I only know about Seth an...

This absolutely blew me away. It was something special. Well chuffed for you both. I'm hoping everyone sees this as a something to try (the word being try) to better in the rounds to come, I know I have. There is no way I could even hope to come CLOSE to the brilliance of Grumpy Mike's song with my...

Mandibles is IN with its shadow, with guest artist Jon P! The rondel line limitation has given us what might be our shortest song yet- only 2:06 all together, though I’m not convinced it doesn’t need a minute long solo and trading fours section in the middle…. :lol: Me too, my song is only 2:08! No...

Waiting for the Sun to Fall (Shadow) by Virgo Power 1 (A) everyone’s out to get me 2 (B) it should have come as no surprise 3 (B) last night you looked at me 4 (A) with such anger in your eyes Chorus: trying not to cry but I'm not sure why is this just going to be our life now? 5 (A) who can be more...

Also, don't feel too bad about twiddling knobs until you find something that sounds good, that's a time-honored tradition. ;) Also, don't feel too bad about twiddling knobs until it sounds like a big pile of crap so that your original take sounds okay in comparison. Just learn from it so the next t...

Can i just say that as usual I misremembered the round title and thought it was "Fall Into the Sun" so then when I went back to check it I immediately got this earworm (thanks judges!):

I think the "lips on mic" is probably going to be your biggest issue, then, you'll have a serious case of "NPR voice" that way and it won't suit every song. Your TASCAM may have a control for monitoring volume, or may have a monitor / output balance knob, which should help you m...

Fair points. I am not nearly as accomplished a musician as most of the rest of you. Regarding the vocals, yeah I can see that. I think I turned DOWN the lo-cut filter or whatever the knob is called in Garageband because I feel like one of the strengths of my voice is that it is lower-situated than ...

Virgo Power - I got the impression that this title left you a bit lyrically uninspired, so you ended up basically singing the title a lot and summarizing what you know of it. The warbling synths are kind of interesting but also felt a little noodly. By about 1:30, I felt like you'd said everything ...

Oh good, I was concerned I wouldn’t have a reason to bring up the villanelle incident this year.

omg. I read that whole thread and it was hilarious. Mean as hell but the insults were pretty funny.

This is definitely the first time anyone has called a vocal of mine erotic! I’m glad the humor came through- I had a blast working on this with Grumpy Mike, and I think he made a great track!

You and GM DID make a great track!! Nivs and I were rocking out to it at the LP

Virgo Power: My interest continues to be piqued by the omnichord. Sadly the song doesn't do anything for me. After listening to a plethora of pretty accomplished musicians it feels a notch down in quality. But I hope you continue to produce these as I have little doubt there are some diamonds yet t...

The Jerks have returned with a podcast, where we review all the songs for the Nur Ein XVI Round Two! 01:28:14 - Virgo Power Hope ya enjoy your just rewards! OMG! So glad the Jerks are back!! Thank you so much for the review!! First of all, that is me singing (Brookes, of Lucky Witch). Secondly, you...

Pleasant Row (Shadow) by Virgo Power nobody stands out on pleasant row nobody will shout on pleasant row nobody goes out on pleasant row nobody stands out on pleasant row never cared enough about anything to burn down your life and risk everything never knew enough about someone to love them so muc...

Cranked out my shadow and got it in before we left for the open mic. Is it as good as it could have been had I left myself more than ONE DAY to do it? No. But I like it okay.

Also I am here to report that I got hit by the lyric posting bug - I had no quotes in my text at all. I was able to get around the bug by disabling BB code. Hope this helps debug.
