Re: A Grand Parade

Lyrics for my dumb song: I been hanging round this old place Since before I dropped out the first time or the third And if I’d’a known I’d be here still Maybe I’d’a picked up stakes without a word Ain’t that just The biggest lie you’ve heard There’s a long line of makers waiting at the gate Holding ...

Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)

Between the listening party on Monday night and my own meanderings I'm about halfway through, and I saw this post and jumped to sober's song. It is truly golden. It achieved something that no other songfight song has ever done, it made me look at myself differently. Positively Westerbergian, PW is ...

Re: A parade, or a marathon?! (A Grand Parade reviews)

I'm now listening to the full stream, and Sober's song is destroying me. Yeah I think Sober gets a vote. That song is a monument. That’s incredibly kind. I really didn’t feel good about it when I hit send, and I’m still not sure. It’s definitely a love song to this community, for what little it’s w...

Stayed up til nearly 6am, but I got it done. Good to be back in the ring, and to see so many old friends come together for this.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2024

Summers are now dodgy for me for as long as I'm lucky enough to keep these cruise ship gigs (laugh if you want, I'm cashing checks). Maybe I can set up a Portland, ME SFL at some point.

Re: Song Fight Live Online 2023

I've been thinking SFL 2023: Online and Ongoing for this year's title, but I'm open to other suggestions. Love it. Also, I'm happy to lend a hand as cohost/guest etc. - I'm set up for live casting, or I could record everyone else's individual audio/video sources to edit together after the fact. I e...

In! First time doing a proper "live" video for one of these. One shot, no overdubbing or retakes. Just 4 mics and a lot of sweat 🥵

Re: SpinTunes 20 Round 4 Challenge

Notes! The Pannacotta Army: It would be so easy to make a low-effort gesture in the direction of this genre and fail terribly. As I said in the listening party though, you clearly studied! The little percussion details, the incredible sense of space - this is a master class in doing your homework an...

My SpinTunes song was inspired by this title, but I feel it didn’t adhere to it closely enough to justify submitting it. Rock on, my friends.

Re: ST20 Round 2 Challenge - 'May I Have a Word?'

Got to these late. Thanks to the folks who have reviewed already. Berni Armstrong: That guitar sound is super brittle. There's some resonance in the like 10khz region that's a bit painful. The accent on the line "There must be something essential" feels like it should be on "must"...

Re: Spin Tunes 20 R1- Opportunity Knocks

Here we go! Listening on the same headphones I mix with. All told, I think I spent about 7 hours writing these up, which is probably something I should see a therapist about. Berni Armstrong: Upon first listen, I was put off by the low-string-tension-induced wonky tuning. By the end of that first li...

Re: New Video Camera

I've been using a Canon 80D to shoot almost all my video for the past five years. I use a 50mm prime to photograph artwork, but the lens I use most for video is a little flat pancake 24mm lens . It's great. My current lighting situation is incredibly poor, but even pushing the camera much harder th...

Re: New Video Camera

Budget? That’s the biggest factor. I’m probably the most overkill here, in that I use a Canon 5D III with a 16-35 2.8L as my “webcam.” A used dslr that’s just modern enough to be able to live monitor in that way (my 5D II can’t, for example) is a good way to go. Something in canon’s rebel or double ...

Another SpinTunes done, and likely the last music I ever write in Texas. See-Man-Ski - Super Natural Way : The boopy farfisa or whatever organ is fun, and your understated approach with it is tasty and generally perfect. Good sense of space. Have you ever tried putting like a 3% swing on your drums?...

"Yes, that's it; more or less."

I was wondering how you got away with that part, but when I quoted it I saw what you did. :lol: That's a good hack. Sober, you can also work around by putting an empty tag (e.g. ) inside the word after the semicolon.
This is awesome to know!
