Oh, I’ve just listened to my bit now (don’t worry, I will go back and listen to the whole 6+ hours; you deserve it), and you said such nice things! Thank you. None of you asked, but I’ll say where my song came from anyway. When I’m stuck for an idea I’ve taken to searching in the large Australian ar...

Gosh. Wow. Chumpy, Ryan & Niv. Heroes.

It's a really charming track and sticks out because of how quirky the rhythm is. Not sure about the f-bomb. I can't decide whether it cheapens it or adds that shock factor. Ha! I know an F-bomb always divides, but those response parts are made up of actual things real people wrote in a guestbook I ...

(Sometimes I choose logic presets purely for their names. Making an angry song about colonialism? British Invasion. Missing home? Dublin Delay. Feeling silly? Pop Sparkler. Etc. And by sometimes I generally mean “all the time”.)

A Grand Parade , Hot Pink Halo *** Roll up roll up It’s time to start the show It’s the show at the show Of the show about the show There’s a prize winning bull Draped in ribbons and in fame Cut the lino, cut the crap Cut a mount for the frame And join the grand parade Give it time and accept that ...

omg I just made some cover art as THE GRAND PARADE instead of A GRAND PARADE.

Reader, I fixed it.

Now to finish my song and send it in late, as is tradition.

I may be in. Currently working with The Grand Parade and I don't want to hear any shit about it.

I am also doing this... because that's what my brain told me it was, and I'm not changing now dammit!

Starting on my impressions of the songs this round. Can't say they're reviews, but more what went in and out of my head while listening to the tunes while we wait on the judges to opine. Your mileage may vary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tommy! I probably won’t get around to reviewing Round 1,...

Strange Attraction - Hot Pink Halo *** I am sensitive to initial conditions I've got a blank space And I'll write your name The forecast's looking good Let's ride with the top down With your hand in mine we face the IF IS THEN Of this strange attraction that I am determined to Repeat Repeat Repeat ...

Reporting for duty.

Cavedwellers(?) almost got cut for not doing the challenge properly once, I think. Word count restriction, and they had one extra word that no-one picked up on until it was too late, so it was let slide.

I took a look in my DAW to double check and it looks like you're about 134ms ahead of the beat on the "if" in the line "if we just sit here eating cake". I've marked the words "if" and "we" as markers 1 and 3, and the drumbeat and guitar strum that follow tho...

The stumbly, oddly timed kalimba has a real groove hidden in there somewhere but it's hard to tell if it's just a little too much swing for my taste or if it's just loose performance. In the context of the other production and performance blemishes I think it's not intentional. Thanks for reviews! ...

Hey everybody, great opening round! Quick status update: I think I'm pretty locked-in on my rankings, and I'm about halfway done writing my reviews. Hopefully I'll be able to finish writing in the next couple of days... And I'll hold off on submitting my ranks until then as well, in case I have any...

Aim High , Hot Pink Halo I spent a few days this week in Paris, and dammit if that place doesn't bury itself in your soul. While there we visited Versailles, The Eiffel Tower, did a Revolution themed walking tour and observed some of the streets that have gone car free over the past few years. I po...

Au revoir, mon fils, Rackwagon

Here is a song that directly addresses these concerns:

Vertical Position or Movement Song

With Spintunes and other art commitments in the next few weeks I’m probably running too low on time.

Watched today. Great show everyone. Thanks to everyone who put it together.
