R.I.P. Olivia Newton John. Lots of good songs, performances. Fucking cancer, man.

Quick comments. Some strong stuff this fight, nice. Surprises, too. a.flaim - This has good intentions and would be more fun with everything working properly, vocals especially. Excellent intro had me thinking sci-fi for a bit, then it got all popped out. I like where your voice will be someday, mis...

You Never Know - Paco del Stinko Aerials and distant memories Fog creeping out from under the leaves Overdeveloped in diminishing areas Sometimes you just don't wake up from the dream You can't go back - You just can't go But you tell yourself you never know You never know Understanding a long-gone...

Quick comments before work. (Ugh) Decent enough fight with nothing really stellar. Gil comes closest, to me. a.flaim - Great energy, modern "punk" I guess you call it. The vocal timbre is likable, but the pitch is way off. Lyrics are empowering/motivating. But yeah, and coming from me, wor...

Face Down - Paco del Stinko Some people bite a pillow when they're on their belly Just like an ironing board or so they tell me If that's where you find yourself It's just like a show and tell (You can be face down) You know it's every single night (You can be face down) C'mon baby it's alright (Yo...

I’d have preferred the guitar a little cleaner/sharper so it’s not fighting so much with the clavichord. When I was recording tracks and mixing, I said "Oh. listen how they kind of blend together. Neat!" I totally hear what you're saying, though, and agree that that would clear things up ...

Quick comments. There was nothing here that I disliked although many could use some polishing. Coughy Cake! Andy Balham - Scratchpad and first time through feel with moments of what it could be-ness. The lyrics and progressions are good, if not necessarily meant to be together. Needs a lot of screws...

The First Million Is The Hardest - Paco del Stinko It's not easy when you got nothing Ain't got two nickels for the rubbing Scratching and a scraping to get by my oh ny Only got crumbs from the pie The first million is the hardest The first mile is the farthest The first cheese is the sharpest The ...

In with a super quickie, totally forgot about the challenge. Oops!

Thank you very much, kind sir!

Fluffy: Thanks for the review. Comments to come later.

True that, LT. But wait until the day I cover one of your tunes in an 80s new wave style. Uh-huh. See what people think then.

So, I just sent one in, hoping for the Fightmasters mercy. Hey, it's a short one anyway!

Disco del Stinko left in the oven. Boo!

EDIT: I took it out of the oven and mailed it in, warm, fresh (sorta) and stinky. Understood if it doesn't get posted.

Congrats, PCA! You're on a roll, man.

And if anything, I probably picked up miscast Lichen votes. Sorry, LT!

I am a deadline nut. But I may take advantage of this to finish something up.

Very quick impressions. Clear winner I think this week or should be. Fight was neither suck-fest, nor greatest ever. Brown Word and the Big Whine - There are whiffs of both Sabbath and porn tunage here, I can dig it. Sludgy but still rollin'. Melody could break away from following the chords so much...

Uh, excuse me, sir. Don't you mean a sangwich?

Congrats to the PCA, well deserved win, great tune. I'm surprised by how many votes I received, I would figure about half that might be more appropriate, or that kind of total for Gil Sans. And I've still never voted for my own song here. Honestly! So. Was there some unsolicited monkey business here...

Super quick comments. I don't believe there's anything in this fight that sucked, strong batch. Pat yerselves on the backs, gang! Now, who wants ice-cream? Brown Word and the Big Whine - Got the cigarette lighter out and slowly waving. Wobbles at times, but good mood. Really dig the bridge direction...

Cast A Shadow - Paco del Stinko His only mistake was he cast a shadow As he crept up from behind The shape of his head the outline of the dagger Rising up on the wall in front of his victim He cast a shadow He cast a shadow He cast a shadow No creak of the floorboard the cat didn't startle Only a d...

I found this article quite interesting about a song we all know, regardless of whether you dig it or not.

Thanks for the comments, peoples. I've been negligent with mine the past couple of fights, hoping to be back on track. Always appreciated whether good, bad, indifferent.
