Re: The Long Fade Out

It is all I can do to go on now. Surely life it should last for some years. But now time is an emptier fall. It’s a pit to swallow me in tears. We were so happy together. You and I were best friends from the start. Now you have left me forever. And I fear it has broken my heart. They promised me the...

Re: A little reefer and some (Spiked Punch reviews)

I haven't got a dog in this particular fight, but I had some time and figured why the heck not. Apologies if I didn't do your song justice. Ben: the different vocals kind of trample each other - maybe panning them left and right would help with that. You have a lot of low mids going on. It could use...

Re: One coin shy of a buck (Three Quarters prefight)

The Library Dogs are in after having to sit out a couple fights.
I've separated my guitars, changed up the leads mid solo-break and ditched the auto-tune.
Game on.

Based on the timing of the next one I’ll probably miss that as well.

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)

The Library Dogs: I couldn’t tell if you were talking about Miss Clavel from the Madeline books, or something else. She is a nun, so there couldn’t be a Mr. Clavel. But there is a Clavell Tower in Dorset, London. I googled it. That seemed fitting for the feel of the song. Then I looked at the actua...

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)

Apologies in advance these are all going to be kind of short because there's like 30 songs here. Overall it seems like we got more than the usual amount of 12-string guitar and jangles. Also two different people mentioned gendarmes which is a funny coincidence. Balls - jangly and 70s. Kind of a Gues...

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)

In with a tune that ended up with a stripped-down high life feel, 3-part harmonies, and meets the optional challenge if shaker counts as acoustic and marimba vsti counts as electronic.

Re: Time to post some (inter)stellar (The Thirteenth Moon Reviews)

So these reviews are kind of high level and off the cuff. If you didn't post your lyrics I didn't comment on them. If you particularly want me to be more critical and dig in a bit on your song, PM me. BSS - California feel off the bat. Not sure how to quantify that or why it made me think of Sugar R...

Re: It's on the calendar (The Thirteenth Moon prefight)

Barring some unforeseen disaster, I'll be in with something somewhat more arranged (and less meta) than last time.

edit: Submitted!!!!
Incidentally I think it's singularly awesome that the two first entries on the lyrics page appear to be a vampire song and a werewolf song respectively.
