Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)

I have time but no ideas. I could crank something out if anyone has any extra material lying around that I could finish/repurpose.

Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)

Leah had a good idea. Can we all write 1000 songs about Glenn Case?

So, the optional challenge shouldn't be advertised lest you want a thousand Glenn Case and/or Glenn related projects submitted for this one fight.

Re: The out of tune vocals are (Your Undoing reviews)

Thanks for reviews. Here are some comments from me. They're all positive, sorry. Berkeley Social Scene : Strong chorus. I like that extra repetition of the chords after the vocals are done. Nice harmonies too. Chthonic Youth : I like hot drums. I dig the whole vibe of the arrangement, especially tha...

Re: Song Fight Live 2021

Inexcusable: neglecting the amazing theme song that I submitted for bumper work. So the words were wrong, does it matter? No. No it does not. How many JB versions do we need? Sheesh! I very much meant to use it. But then I was in a rush and it wasn't already in video form :( Hopefully someone recti...

Also: gonna do a dry run / warm up stream tonight on the Song Fight channel. I'll play some of last year's videos and chat with folks to get comfortable with the setup. Stay tuned.

Re: The Endless Song Fight (Jukebox) Playlist

I pick the classic "More than Soup" from Starfinger. Goes straight through goofy then stupid to sublime.

Re: Silence blaring for (A 9/11 Every Day reviews)

AMERIKKKA THE GREAT - Reminds me of a song I wrote last inauguration day called "You Dumb Motherfuckers" because all I had to say was that over and over. Which is to say, I feel it. Balls to Monte - I love the arrangement. Great to have two acoustics. - The melody on the chorus is good and...

Re: Scooby Snacks for (Another Mystery Solved reviews)

Brother Baker - The shouting is not my thing. - I do like the "At least now I know" backing vocals. - The shouting hits a little better as the song becomes more of an epic. Brown Word and the Big Whine - Oh, I like it. The instrumentation grabs me immediately. - The melody is nice, especia...

Re: It's not my fault (I Can’t Turn It Off reviews)

Alright, for what it's worth: Balls to Monte - "The spotlight was yours to bask in" is a good line/rhyme. This seems well-structured. The different sections flow naturally into the next. Brown Word and the Big Whine - Very cool arrangement and groove. A lot of noises that are hard to disti...

I love the drum beat, so inventive – I hope it’s all your own work from scratch. I'll get this out of the way so folks can vote accordingly. It's all loops. There's no way I could play that. I've wanted to inject some afrobeat into my music for a long time, so I finally just googled "afrobeat ...

NOTE: I feel like there's a more than usual amount of genre/familiarity bias in my reviews this time around. Apologies to those that only got a few words, but know that I listened to the whole fight many times over, generally enjoyed it, and just didn't end up with interesting thoughts you need to h...

Do you come up with chords and noodle (or mix/match) over it? Or do you find notes you like first and have that dictate the chord progression?
This is all after the song is written, so the chords are set.

Re: What was that? (Disembodied Voice reviews)

Not really. Or maybe in the loosest of ways. I guess I must have some kind of feeling for what I want, but I really do just randomly try notes to see what works. That's kind of fascinating to me. So do you have tricks for finding notes, like you know you like certain intervals already, or is it mor...

Re: What was that? (Disembodied Voice reviews)

2. play each interval and match both notes. So, play a C and then a D, then C and D#, then C and E. Work your way all the way up to C again, practicing the octave jump. This seems like a great exercise for more than vocals. When I'm recording lead guitar or a keyboard melody, I just stumble around ...

Re: What was that? (Disembodied Voice reviews)

If you think folks should strive not to take reviews as personal attacks (and I do think that) then you should probably treat the songs themselves the same way. Also, this vocal advice is great. I've struggled with the same thing over the years. I've mostly done what Ken says, but I might try mholla...
