Re: Tearing up, throwing away, letting go now (Tearing Up prefight)

I wasn't planning to be in this fight, but I was able to whip something up this afternoon. This is definitely the song I've made in the least time.

Re: Tearing Up lyrics

Tearing Up Lichen Throat I got a parking ticket, And I’m gonna rip it in half. I’ll show them where they can stick it, And have myself an evil laugh. Tearing up, tearing up, Putting it to the man. Tearing up, tearing up, Doing it because I can. Come to my lease-breaking party. We’re going to break ...

Re: Not a single #1 hit out of (One Thousand Cuts reviews)

1k KTZ SALN—This works well as a novelty song. It’s fun, thematically cohesive, and humorous. I got the melody stuck in my head a few times, so it’s catchy, too. coyot—Okay, it’s metal reggae with a church organ. It all works together, though. This isn’t quite my cup of tea, but it’s pretty good. I ...

Is this whole thing a speculative fictional inner monologue of David Foster Wallace?
Yes! That's it exactly.

Re: One Thousand Cuts

One Thousand Cuts Lichen Throat I wrote a book about tennis and drugs, Experimental films and Canadian thugs. Two feet of pages and more to add; It starts and ends in the Year of Glad. I’ve got to make one thousand cuts Before I send this in, But when the book is open and shut, It’ll still be far f...

Re: Extra postage needed for (The Weight Of My Heart reviews)

Oh wow, the first fight I ever entered, "Pitchfork Nation," is featured in the five years ago section! Berkeley Social Scene—I like the increase in energy for the chorus and the change in vocal arrangements. The vocal performance is good too, as is the solo (as usual). Good solid song. Dun...

Re: Gonna find me a date at the (Garage Sale reviews)

Ben Crenshaw—This sounds like one of those songs where the hip-hop group discovers a piano and records in a new style. Or maybe where the hard-rocking group unplugs. This grew on me a little as I listened to it more. I think it works. It’s not quite my thing, but it works. Berkeley Social Scene—The ...

Re: The Weight Of My Heart

The Weight of My Heart Lichen Throat I threw my last handful of change in the net of the tollbooth, Head turned right to hide my two black eyes and a broken tooth. Farewell now to Illinois and its quiet suburban blocks; Hello to Wisconsin’s factory towns and warehouse loading docks. I don’t want to...

Re: Spin Tunes 18 Round 3 - Tell Me What You Want

One thing to get straight right up front - I'm not a singer. Outside of SpinTunes and FAWM, and very occasional backing vocals/shouting in a punk/ska/new wave covers band, I don't sing, and I hate the sound of my voice. But I really like making music and I've never found a vocalist to work with con...

Re: Let's trade (Friendship Bracelet reviews)

Sweeney Toad—The effects on the vocals makes the whole song sound like it should be the chorus; did you consider trying something more subdued for the verses? I think I’d like the chorus and verse to have more differentiation from one another. I like the synth arpeggios in the background music. The ...

Re: Garage Sale

Garage Sale Lichen Throat On Saturday mornings, I see the signs In Sharpie on corrugated cardboard. Portable tables out in the sunshine, And crowds of flippers hoping for a score. I still think of you when I see a garage sale, And I still miss you, Abigail. Fifteen years since I stood in the drivew...

Re: Gift of Music 2020/2021

Okay, here's "Return to Innocence." It is not a good version. This was a lot more difficult than I had anticipated, and it's evident that I have neither the technical skill nor the earnestness to pull it off. I'm sorry I took so long, and I'm sorry it's not better. But enjoy! Lichen Throat...

Re: sonofgearfight #3 "Beneath a Cold Sky"

I think I bit off more than I could chew for this one. I liked the challenge and tried to implement it, but it was hard to maintain cohesion all the way through. This song is about the Group of Seven, an organization of early 20th century Canadian painters known best for their depictions of the Cana...

Re: sonofgearfight #3: Beneath A Cold Sky

Beneath a Cold Sky Lichen Throat Me and Tom and some other guys had a place just off of Yonge Street. Snowshoed hikes in the cold ravine were better than walks on concrete. Linseed oil and turpentine at the edge of the maple wood, Plein air sketching on little boards anytime we could. Dark red leav...

Friendship Bracelet

Friendship Bracelet Lichen Throat I saw the girls play pattycakes Beside the cafetorium. The sharp and practiced moves they made, An ordered pandemonium. I saw the folded classroom notes They passed behind the teacher’s back. I never read one, never wrote My secrets down in blue or black. Brightly ...

Lichen Throat : he's found the distortion patch in his software! I'm still digging the post punk vibes your throwing out.

Re: Don't tell me (I Only Imagined It reviews)

I'll sneak in with some eleventh-hour reviews. Balance Lost—I like the delicate line of the guitar. Your gentle vocal fits well with the rest of the song. This isn’t the most memorable thing I’ve ever heard, but in this genre is well-suited to a more ethereal feel that evaporates from the mind, so t...

Silver Elite Lichen Throat I glimpsed Suzie from my seat, Fluffy slippers on her pedicured feet. I heard she only sleeps on planes, Up in first class, sipping champaign. Platinum-level frequent flier club, Gold embossing on her ticket stub. Well, I don’t fly like a movie star, But I spend my share ...

We’d never met before, and we never met again. Maybe I only imagined it, But I thought I caught her eye, and I never did forget. I thou...
