I had trouble coming up with a topic for lyrics, and I had trouble with the music. Then I had trouble singing. Not my best work, but the best I could do this week. I also thought this was a tough one lyrically. I even read through the lyric thread for inspiration. I think one of the better ways to ...

It isn't quite the same, but this song popped into my head:

Happy Birthday to FM3, they guy who keeps Songfight running, incredible musician, and all around good guy Lunkhead!

Berkeley Social Scene: The guitar tones are sweet – nice variation in the playing/panning/placement. The chorus is simple but the harmony and call + answer in it goes a long way. I prefer the chorus over the verses. Love the guitar solo. Mixing is superb. Nice song. That is really nice to hear. I u...

Berkeley Social Scene Intro: Dm Am G G x2 Verse: Dm Am G G x4 You’ve got a lot of nerve to act the way you do It take a lot of effort to be so unconcerned It takes an act of faith to walk upon the moon So little time before we lose the things we learned C Em x2 Brace Yourself Brace Yourself Brace Yo...

I hope you get that tooth.

I've been reading more, finding solace and escape in fiction mostly. I would also like to be more active in the new year. I also want to learn something. Maybe take some guitar lessons or something.

Yeah, I am thinking about it. I like that I have week for each thing. A daily thing just seems like too much pressure.

I had a lyric video made for Winter Wonderland by Berkeley Holiday Band, which was basically a Tiny Robots/Berkeley Social Scene project we did for fun 10 years ago. Feel free to add it to your holiday playlists or whatever.

Thenatan has all of their plugins at 90% off. I really like Tape Piano.

Since Silver Lining was made up of 50% BSS members, it is kind of like we won 1.5 of this fight. Congrats all for making really strong songs this round. Well done.

Hi All,
What are your top songs, albums, etc. from 2021?

I bought a lot of albums on vinyl this year, but I think the one I listened to the most is Obviously by Lake Street Dive. I just keep going back to this album. What about you?

Anyone submitting to this fight better live up to the greatness of add's entry. Everyone must use crazy delay on their vocals!

Berkeley Social Scene Sunday night you went outside You seemed unsatisfied I’d better proceed with caution I overheard you talking Monday morning you woke early Should have known you would do me dirty Left the house without saying goodbye Didn’t look me in the eye It wasn’t my good fortune Left behi...

Here are some quick reviews on my first listen on my laptop. There are some really good songs in this fight! Berkeley Social Scene : This song came out good. I like how collaborative this track was for us. The first draft of this song was 6 minutes long. Glen and Martin cut it down to tight 3 minute...

Okay. Instant Band emails have been sent. Last Instant Band of 2021!

Last call. I'll put everyone into groups in the morning.

Very cool!

A reminder to sign up for instant band. The new title should be up soon!

And the Instabandits.

That makes 4 of 6!!!

If the chance to write a song with starfinger doesn't get you excited to be in an instant band, nothing will.
