Re: A Grand Parade
A Grand Parade Chumpy vs. Lichen Throat Hours before the scheduled time, By the Main Street Trolly’s chime, Every day in Anaheim They line the colored sidewalks. Blankets on the concrete street, By winter’s chill or summer’s heat, The days cannot be complete Without a march down this block. They al...

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round Two: "The Numbers Don't Lie"
I noticed that my shadow entry is not available for listening on the Nur Ein website. Would it be possible for it to be added?

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round Two: "The Numbers Don't Lie"
I'm in with a shadow entry about Reno, of all things. This was an interesting challenge. I really hated the chord progression itself, but I ended up pretty happy with my song. This is not a chord progression I would have ever used, or even thought thought of. Nevertheless, it made for an interesting...

Nur Ein XVIII Round One "Blind Spot"
Blind Spot Lichen Throat I grew up on a suburban street With a bunch of other kids. All our dads had the same kinds of jobs; At least I thought they did. In second grade, there was a girl Who was absent quite a lot. She always said she’d missed the bus; Why didn’t her mom drop her off? I had a blin...

Re: Nur Ein XVIII Round Zero - Sink or Swim

Re: Five is right out! (I'm Gonna Explode reviews)
The Big Nasty—Not quite my thing, but it seems competent and comes with the intensity this genre demands. Future Boy—The Rhodes seems popular, and it does have a nice tone. All the performances are good, and your voice sounds smooth and well-modulated. However, I didn’t have a lot of interest in the...

@WreckdoMelle I'm so glad you liked it and that the lyrics were at least somewhat resonant to your experiences on the road.

Re: ...but you might get a sneak peak. (Behind the Scenes reviews)
Berkeley Social Scene—I love the intro. This is very solid; I feel like I could listen to it many times without getting tired of it. I’m not sure I would ever love it, but it’s impossible not to like it. Good vocals and percussion. Eastern Bay Rivals—The intro builds tension nicely, and then the voc...

Re: Circle of Titles 2022
Thanks for "Comptroller," PFJ! I've always thought there should be a song with that title, somewhere, and now there is. I like how you used a weird, bureaucratic word in a punk song.

I'm in. If my timing seems better on this one, credit should go to Chumpy who very generously gave me a production tutorial.

Re: Give to the unworthy! (My Lifestyle of Leisure reviews)
Thanks for the kind words. I do think Chumpy's production had a lot to do with the positive reactions, but it's encouraging to know that I could potentially get good results by either either learning to the same thing myself or improving my vocal timing. I'll keep at it.
