Wow, what another another great batch of songs! Playing "if I were a judge" my top five would be: 1. Howl Down the Chimney. 2. WreckdoM. 3. Frankie Big Face. 4. Tiny Robots. 5. Nigel Clements. Rounding out the top ten in alphabetical order would be Paco, Quimby, RG, Ross, and Signboy. As some of you...

Optional challenge: avoid Chewbacca references

As others have said, this was an excellent, excellent set of tracks all around. You all deserve a cuddly little puppy. But I'd like to call particular attention to a couple of my favorites in the fight (round?). First, the much under-appreciated Howl Down the Chimney. Tep, that was sheer genius my f...

ROUND ONE of the NUR EIN starts now! Song must include 2 verses, a chorus, a repetition of the chorus and a solo. in that order? Seriously though, we were talking about this on IRC. I thought the chorus needed to be repeated twice in a row (i.e. the end of the cock track). The consensus was that wa...

It's like the template for a Cock track! (Cock's always been a bit on the short side.)

I was too busy seeing she called out 1983, as that is exactly what reve said. :P Yeah. "1983 sound" was an explicit goal this time around. So much so that I wanted to avoid using synthesizers developed after 1983. But somehow a JX10 (c. 1986) did crawl in there towards the end. STYLOPHONE!!! ...thr...

My favorites this week were :
Balance Lost
Deetak
Well Read Skeletons

I congratulate all of you, though, as there were TONS of good entries this week!

I just wanted to comment on the great Teplin art two weeks in a row.

So a week later, the songs that remain the most memorable are those submitted by the Durand brothers . While Steve's entry was my pick for the fight right off the bat, it should be noted that Ross's entry has been on heavier rotation in my brain. Like a lot of his songs, it works well on a variety o...

this is the name of one of my least favorite songs by one of my most favorite artists.

Whoah. That puts you in a narrow demographic. You are almost certainly between 33 and 36 years old. Statistically, 34 or 35. 34?

I would also like to throw sizable helping of congratulations, smiles, and thumbs-ups to the Benjamin family.

And of course to the other the artists who contributed tracks. This was a great event!

Hear, hear.

Awesomeist movie evar.

I'd be curious to see a big graphical map of songfighter musical tastes. Shoot, me too. Someone should develop the SongFight Multiphasic Musical Taste Inventory (SMMTI), and refer to it fondly as "the Smitty." Example questions include: 28. If forced to chose, would you rather listen to Jandek or T...

Are you playing a variax on sitar there at the end? I've done a lot of experiments on my very first electric guitar (an Epiphone strat copy), finally turning it into a sitar by grinding a homemade buzz bridge out of stone. Dude. You are a total, total genius. Did you figure out what to do yourself ...

Note: people who don't post lyrics don't simply get a zero from me. I'm not that mean. Just don't expect full marks for the lyrics if I don't review them. I'll update my post (if possible) with thoughts about the newly posted lyrics (and Caravan Ray's which I apparently missed) when I have time. Un...

Hi Gang. First half of the reviews. I'll get the second half up before the next fight. Ujn and I are Chthonic Chthock. Abominominous . ++ This is a new level of slick and awesome. -- No real chorus for us to grove out to? Sad face. // So while your stuff is always slick and awesome, this appeals to ...

Cobalt Stomach - so which one came first, this or Chthonic? It was like a sideways deja vu. No vote. We (Chthonic Chthock) did. I know jast is on the ball with the reviews and wanted to get 'em posted so we didn't get hit with another one of those a L:0 (post your lyrics next time) things. I guess ...

Got a question though - if I feel obligated to review when I send in a song, but I have to sort through this much garbage to find a few good tunes, is it wrong for me to stop participating in the review threads? Because there's a lot of crap. And the people submitting obviously know it's crap. Here...

....and a bit anxious about getting my song reviewed (first submission = yyyyyyyyyikes) Here, I'll break the tension for you: Lucky Spoon ++ Awfully good concept, there. And excellent, excellent bassmanship. -- The drum loop is kind of repetitive and drum loopy. Because there's so many snare hits, ...

I'm excited to hear this.

Green Eleven by Chthonic Chthock now that the new crew has arrived let's refresh the ways to survive our time on Green Eleven oxygen is in short supply and flammable, so let's not ignite ourselves on Green Eleven keep rayguns locked, secure in their holsters maintain control over flame-class devices...
