Said I'd get it in with 10 minutes to spare, but just sent it in ahead of schedule, 16 minutes to spare.

"They Know" - Third Cat I'll keep pretending I'm the man that you wish to think I am. But they've seen the video so they know it's all for show. If you look too close, it's all dark. If you look too close, it's all dark. If you look too close, it's all dark. (with just a spark you can see ...

Also still working on mine, but yeah definitely got something cookin'. Will probably send it in with about 10 minutes to spare.

Love your new intro music. Listening to your podcast now to unwind from working on my spintunes track (and getting it in with 30 minutes to spare). On the optional challenge; I haven't really tried to do any of those optional challenges, I guess I am a jive turkey. Dig your funkified version of the ...

Did some last minute rewrites so I just got it in with about 30 minutes to spare.

"Hideaway" - Third Cat watching the moon and we're feeling in tune watching The Room and you're tasting the bloom in love let's stay wrong turns can send down rain i don't think i can stand this pain but with you i've found a hideaway hope in your eyes just like stars in night skies joy i...

We're deep enough into this thing that I figure I can reveal my "in the style of" target. early '80s New Wave. more particularly: YAZ (or YAZOO) - in particular their first album Upstairs at Eric's and even more particularly their single "Only You." I've mostly got my instrumenta...

Love this title, gives me ideas right off. Don't have anything down yet but definitely plan on getting something written & recorded for this title. Seems like a title that will bring in a lot of entries, but of course I thought the same thing about "Nights & Weekends"

BSS - I like the groove and the feel on the intro. I also like the verse vocal melody and the tone of the vocal there is pretty nice. But I do find some of the vocal tuning a bit distracting. Although I realize you have to rush things with these songfights (I usually find myself in a similar positio...

Mixolydian is good, Dorian is lovely, Phrygian is nice for getting an "exotic" sound I think, I've used it a few times for guitar solos. The other two I haven't found much use for yet. Agreed with the idea that it's best to think of them as major or minor but with one scale degree differen...

Nice small fight! Will be easy to write in-depth reviews of everyone's songs this week. I thought there'd be more entries with "Nights & Weekends" because it's a great title, but all good. Just listened to all of the tracks and I think they're all pretty strong. Probably the bit that m...

I really liked the Faster Jackelope song, that was my favorite of the round. Lots of cool stuff but that one was really up my alley I think.

Already chose my artist & song I want to use as my guide. I think it's far enough away from my usual style to satisfy the judges on that account. This should be an interesting round, and yes a challenging challenge

Got in another one (just under the wire.)

"Nights and Weekends" - Third Cat I'm working for the government there every morning at nine don't want to be noticed So I'm doing my job just fine but on nights and weekends I'm plotting with my friends to burn this mother down to tear apart this clown to burn this mother down to tear apa...

"Looking For Light" - Third Cat barely keeping my eyes open swerving in the road again don't even care if I make it back. barely feeling like I'm alive laying in my bed 'til five I'm falling deeper into the black. pull me out, pull me out. looking for light with your love no longer afraid ...

First Impressions: Paco: This has quite a different vibe from the other stuff of yours I think, I really dig it - it's got a sort of off kilter psychedelic pop thing going on. Just so much going on here, I think it would take me more listens to really catch it all. Based on my first listen this is a...

Gonna be cool to hear all of the vocal harmonies in this round. Great challenge.

Great podcast, that one was pretty funny.

"Poetry in the Streets" - Third Cat Marvin Mushroom always walkin' around town he claims he's seen into the future. Fascist Meathogs singing "la la la la la" they say you've been a bad consumer. I know it might sound something like some crazy man, but if you hear without your fe...

I kind of got something going now actually, I think, maybe. (and got some lyrical ideas from Pigfarmer, thanks!) Gonna try to make it 14. Appreciate the encouragement.

I think I'm gonna miss this one, stopping my streak of entries at 13. unless I have some kind of inspiration strike soon. I just can't come up with anything for this one it seems. Well runs dry!
