OK I decided to take a little time to fix mine - to the best of my current ability, without re-recording (since a) it's the middle of the night and b) I'm far too lazy). transitions are still awkward as hell but I THINK the synching is much better. https://soundcloud.com/roesmoker/june-moon?in=roesm...

belatedly responding to the thread. and yes my left shift key is broken. big bummer bc it's a fucken macbook. :cry: Here, take some reviews, because I feel like crap today and need a distraction. Strong round! Virgo Power - drums are nice and punchy, but the Qchord (?) strums are frequently off the ...

June Moon (Virgo Power) (shadow) wish I could feel like I knew what was wrong wish I could sleep through the night til the dawn wish I could feel like I knew what was wrong wish I could sleep through the night til the dawn chorus: forget it, Jake, it's Cheridah sometimes nonsense means everything an...

Submitted my shadow. Ended up including a few imperfect rhymes. Gotta serve the song, ya know? same. once again I struggled all week to come up with a song, and it wasn't until 7pm tonight that I had a working demo, with no words for the second verse. then i had to drive to Jersey and back for 1.45...

VP is in with my shadow featuring guest backing vocals by Ben Krieger on the chorus. Whew! As usual, a last minute production.

Can’t Let It Go ( Virgo Power ) (Shadow) Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms All my life people told me I can't do the thing I wanted most All it did was made me angry, make me want it more chorus: why can't you let it go-o-o-o-o why can't you let it go-o-o-o-o why can't yo...

I have a song recorded. I know I'm a shadow, but if anyone wants to try backing vocals and harmonies, let me know.

I'll do it Kriegy! would love it if you could do the same for me, assuming I can come up with a song in the next day...

we're at the listening party and I'm struck by how many more words everyone else has than me. Nivs says not to worry about that.

I submitted a shadow song, but it does not appear to be posted.

Nivs says he can't do anything about it while he's at work but will upload it when he gets home.

Floating in the Water ( Virgo Power ) sweeter than well water gentle was your name stronger than the men who tried to put you down; they could not get you down chorus: you put his head on a platter you put his head on a plate and when your world was all shattered you left it all in your paint your ...

Night Sky is out. We didn’t manage to come up with anything I could turn into a song. Aw man, sorry to hear that Night Sky. You will be missed. Well, I decided to throw out all my previous recordings and redo from scratch at 11 pm, now featuring Nivs on guitar and the S-Drum drum pedal on drums. TH...

ugh, I'm about to have a nervous breakdown! recorded 4 tracks before I realized fuvking Omni was out of tune! (yes, Omni can be tuned. it rarely needs it because the tuning knob is at the underside recessed in a little well, so it doesn't get turned by mistake, but sometimes with taking it in and ou...

Ah thanks! Now to resume panicking. Damn straight. I am in Friday morning and apart from a theme I am empty. I have no music. No melody. Nothing to hook my overly-complicated idea on. dude, I'm almost as bad off. I have a chorus and an idea only. I wrote some verses but I am not even sure if I'm go...

just realized what this week's Mandibles tune reminds me of. I bet you guys would KILL a cover of this one:

Jon Porobil - This riff reminds me of something but I can't place it.

trying to fall asleep when I realized what it reminds me of: "American Woman"

Al from BYD here. Thanks for the reviews, arby. Always good to get feedback. Thanks, we tried something different here (can't accuse us of not belly-flopping outside our comfort zone on occasion), hope some folks like it. Glad you seemed to, overall. Oh yes, I absolutely did! Surprised/not surprise...

I did it, I wrote reviews! Overall this round I was really impressed by the guitar work on a lot of the songs. Plus the palindromes were largely very well done and enjoyable to listen to. Nice job, everyone! Adam Adamant - This had a lot of potential. I adore the palindrome guitar riffs on the verse...

As a totally unbiased, possibly mildly British person, I think you NAILED it. I have a lot of opinions and one of them is that Vom is right. And here's me actually rhyming deified with "day". Aww, thanks Vom (and gizo)! As a cat person, of course I liked your song. I think it's required b...

Easiest example of this one is "Pride (In The Name of Love)."

oh right, Jesus and MLK

Welp, this is one of those rounds where as soon as I start listening to everyone else's songs, I immediately kick myself for not googling the most basic thing - how to fucken pronounce deified. I just assumed it was DAY-ified with a long "a" (like it is in Latin - Deus Ex Machina), but ha...

Welp, I'm in. I am happy with it. Hope everyone doesn't hate Q-Chord. I tried to mix it better so it's not so piercing. Worked pretty damn hard on this one.
