It doesn't look to me like somesongs is destined to be saved. Like a previous poster said, it's lack of participation. That may be obvious, but very few people are using the site for its' intent. I've had a couple songs up there for a couple weeks , and they're still in the top 15 and not up to the ...

Funny. I had just tried registering again today (after quite a time of no success) and succeeded! Then discovered this thread. So for your consideration is a remix of last week's They Control the Weather . I've been looking for a songfight/somesongs resource for quite some time , but i think the bug...

but what the hell do I know, I seem to have become a 50's novelty revivalist. <b>Pompeii-</b> I wonder how much those 80's "Rockman" things go for. You could make a pretty sick rig with one of those and an Alesis SR-16. Your sounds are correct, but the voice, figure that out and you'll be ...

Wow. major post regret. I really should have held back, because it just wasn't anywhere near there yet (I might argue it never got there ). Does this happen to you much? also. Oddly my songfight entries seem to be pigeonholing me into the quirky-retro vein, which isn't what I usually do. (but I usua...

Hey- I might be in, but every clock in my house said a different time, so I could have been as much as 12 minutes late. no great loss, though. Another 2 hours (for total of 4) did wonders for this song. It is by far the weirdest I've ever made. For this I thank you. check my site for the updated and...

Tasty Audio Reviews of Joy I don't know if these are really helpful at all, but some of you folks ought to enjoy them. Feedback is appreciated. Hi.

Check Sharon Jones in this video. She sure doesn't sound like it. I mean she's got reading glasses on and everything.

Somehow I knew you would get that review. Wait, on second look, I don't think you got it, because you quoted my opening sentence. Your song is awesome, and it reminded me of one of my favorite real-life surreal moments. As it's apparently vocal-less and therefore a 'less traditional' Songfight entry...

Does anyone else have trouble reviewing, on its' technical merits, a song whose style you hate? I love you all as people, really. <b>Dynamic Rhythm Device</b> um, that's me.

There is an infant (stillborn?) named Mamie Black buried in the Oma Cemetery in Hot Springs Arkansas (b. 2/26/1927, d. 2/26/1927).



Calling Tom Waits... Mr. Waits, your song is here.

I find myself sucked into production critique once again. I wonder if I pay so little attention to lyrics in my normal listening? This is the first time I've streamed the songs and I see that it shows my file's original name, no band name etc. Perhaps I'm an idiot, but how do I get that stuff to sho...

Couldn't pull it off.

It's probably for the best that I couldn't get it done, but there were some fun parts anyway.

next time?...


Hey-
I thought there was a place to post late/incomplete/sucking songs? I can't find it now, was I hallucinating?

Hi all.
