DENTED BENTO - Drag Me Around [shadow] Chased the sun to California Didn't stop, I kept on going Living in a ghost world few can see A ripped and faded memory Limping barefoot over coral Crashing nights on borrowed futons Puppet in the wars of destiny My tattered strings reminding me I never know w...

What do you mean by "ducks"? They got 0 votes? Or they just didn't win?

This was a fun experience. Thanks to everyone who toiled behind the scenes, to Glenn Case for the interviews, and to everyone who submitted videos. Still planning to watch Night 4 and the Live Fight...

Song Fight Live wasn't my first gig.

It WAS my first real video. First Song Fight Live. First time to play iveg songs live in front of other people. First time to sing and bass at the same time. (I tried to sing and play keys, but it was a fail. Better luck next year.)

Uploaded another short song, and an "inspiration behind the song" .txt file. Use it or not. I'm about half-way through watching last Saturday. Loving it. The Jerkatorium video was so crazy, with Bread and Puppets, that I abandoned my "Sitting in the Life Boat" idea... Listening t...

Thanks for the reviews. I hope cousin Katie the dental hygienist enjoys the song.
I had just come back from a dental cleaning, and the first verse took about 30 seconds to write.
The interpretation is totally up to you, of course.

I was hoping to get "Broken Heart Syndrome" in before last Saturday.
Didn't happen, but it's in now. So maybe this week.
Sync = annoying problem that I was not able to solve this time.

Stress Myocardiopathy!

Really enjoyed the Niveous and Fluffy interviews... Partway through Spud. They're great.

I really want to do a set, and I really don't. [Whiny list of excuses].
Just wanted to echo Niv in thanking J$. He was a Nur Ein judge when I started recording again, and he really encouraged me.

Congrats Jon Eric! Fight well won, job well done! Your chorus and whistling part were stuck in my head all afternoon. Congrats Cavedwellers on a fight well fought. Thanks to all the judges. It's not a thankless job, because I just thanked you... but I didn't envy you. Thanks to Tommy for the Listeni...

Two months. Who knows? Maybe I can get some people together to LiveStream by then.
For Title by Title, what if you choose 3 or 4 titles now? That would give people time to re-learn or write something new.

Ben and Mike: Thanks for the kind words. I recorded the vocals with a Shure SM-58, rather than the inbuilt iPad mic.

Good job! Did you write your version to the Skyfall movie intro, or did you discover how well it fit after?

I found SongFight in March 2001, following random bunny trails. I was using Acid on a borrowed computer. I did a few songs, but met a girl in May. She was much more interesting than writing songs my friends didn't like. I tried other songs over the next few years, but didn't submit them. The compute...

@JonEric: Cool perspective in your lyrics. Congrats on doing so well this year.

Myself: Whine whine whine

It WAS in this thread - an inline attachment. Having said that, I did not listen to my final vocal takes until after I had submitted the file. And they sucked. I don't know that I can do any better today, but I plan to try. I have 15 minutes right now. Ok. Here it is. iveg-North-Beach-Vampires(2).mp3

Cool stuff w/ Mandarin.
Finally finished my shadow...

[Edit: Very bad version removed. Somewhat better version posted later in this thread]
[Re-edited because the bad version did NOT remove]

Got part recorded, then infinite interruptions struck. I really need to find a way to speed up my process.

Inflatable Vegetables North Beach Vampires suck so hard North Beach Vampires suck so hard Two red dots their calling card Tender lives forever scarred All the girls in the schoolyard screaming North Beach Vampires suck so hard Escalades with tinted windows pulled under the trees Ray-Ban glasses and...

Oh yeah - a shout out to Adam. I'm enjoying your videos of your creative process. I like that so much of what you do is real instruments, and you do them all so well.

I'm most of the way through "The New Ugly". I'm really enjoying it. You gelled pretty quickly - kinda Ben and Abigail versus Mike but in a fun way. I appreciate Abigail's perspective as a classically trained singer/ musician. I think my big takeaway is breath support. I've really enjoyed r...

Wikipedia, my friend. Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carte_Blanche_(novel)

Perhaps the only thing worse than reading a bad Bond novel...

I don't even have lyrics this week. And I know it's not going to happen tonight or Sunday.

Recorded vocals at the park. I'm not sure it's better than nothing.
