This goes way back to when we had the "theme-song" fight. I promised a theme song to Bortwein for all the graphic stuff he's done for me (and so many other people). anyway, I finally got off my butt and did one. here it is: http://kongbalong.com/mp3/crt/starfinger/starfinger-bortwein_theme...

thanks for the tips!

now I need to learn how to play chords or something.

i'm thinking about signing up for this. it's a longshot, since I haven't written much of anything. heck, I can barely finish *reading* a book.

but I've been thinking about giving it a shot, so maybe I just will.

For the record, I was planning to write these tonight even before the rap-is-valid discussion: Dave Stiles: I like this 90's alt rock vibe. well done, but maybe a tad monotonous. Dreamy Mo: This is a great groove-- sloppy as hell. The lyrics crack me up. Hoblit's backing vox are divine. Very nice. F...

hey Dan-O, I appreciate your clarification. And I just wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was being overly defensive of my song. Clearly you have the right to your opinion, and I'm all for it being presented in any way you see fit. And you'd be surprised to see what kind of street cred you ...

i can't fathom the logic that says "raps" don't belong on songfight.

thanks for the scathing review. it has returned me to earth.

hopefully the ozone is better built than the oxygen-8

one other difference is that the O-8 can be powered entirely by the USB (i.e., no wall wart), but the ozone needs to be plugged in (right, ozone owner[s]?)

My political views have flipped 180 degrees in the last couple of months, and after seeing the debates, I actually like Kerry a lot more than I thought I would. Politics is an evil business that brings out the worst in people. When I look at just about anybody in the Bush administration, I don't eve...

pretend the midi mapper doesn't exist.
TT is right. when you install the controller, it will show up as a midi device.
