Tim Hinkle's song has been added to the fight. Sorry I missed your song Tim! Looks like I accidentally deleted it, while intending to delete somebody's older version of their song that they submitted.

No worries! I'm glad to see it up now.

I've just gotta say with this fight that listening through alphabetically is a SURPRISINGLY coherent listening experience. Somehow the songs with similar moods would up alphabetically next to one another. Even Deep Orb's doesn't feel out of place because it's weird computer MIDI metal after...actua...

Here's my song via SoundCloud:

It doesn't look like my song went up. I got an email confirmation that it had been received.

I've just sent in my song.

[*]01:17:23 - Tim Hinkle Micah: "...I like his voice singing the Rush better than I like it singing the other part... that seemed very comfortable in his range like he was not straining..." I'm glad the "Spirit of Radio" vocals don't sound strained. My voice feels a bit strained...

[*]01:17:23 - Tim Hinkle

It is just me singing all the vocal parts on my track.

The other song I'm using as a counterpoint melody is "The State I Am In" by Belle and Sebastian.

Just listened. I enjoyed it very much!

Step 6. Send the cover to "mikelamb" at "sheepsound.com." Deadline is 5 April 2020 by 23:59 PDT.

Do you want the file actually attached to the email (like a Song Fight submission) or would a link to download the file work better? MP3s or is another format preferable?

The Moody Blues: "This is My House (but Nobody Calls)"


Eurythmics: "She's Invisible Now"


The Rolling Stones: "In Another Land"


Mandrake Paddle Steamer: "Strange Walking Man"

(By the way, what makes this i, III, VII, VI in B-flat minor , rather than vi, I, V, IV in D-flat major, which is what I thought I was writing?) Well, it sounds minor to me, so I said it was minor. I'm not absolutely sure how all the music theory cogs line up. Looking at the song some more, though,...

I like the western feel of this song (was that intentional?)

Yes, that absolutely was what I was going for.

...but I think it may be too rough for this song. What do you mean by rough? Pitch, phrasing, tone or...? Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. I think a slight pitchiness is the main thing I was noticing. To a degree I wouldn't usually comment on, but last night I felt strongly about it in this ...

It is kind of a novelty song - I noticed you had the same reaction to Frontalittle Squad, which while way more rap heavy trends a lot of similar territory. Aliens, hauntings, it's all paranormal! Still, thanks for the review :) I'd absolutely agree there's probably some kind of genre bias going on ...

@Neutronflow: Interesting you referred to the synth sound as the Nyan Cat synth...it's actually a free VST I love called MeowSynth ! For all your meowing needs! Sorry you didn't dig the story though. Admittedly I did come up with the idea while half delirious from a constant 103F fever...stupid flu...

Several songs featuring counting in this fight. Must have bled over from SpinTunes. Berkeley Social Scene: The instrumental section in a different time signature, from about 2:15 to 2:50, doesn't feel like it belongs in this song to me. I think I might like this better if it were just cut out. Other...
