My review philosophy: 1. You probably listen to music, and therefore know where your song could use improvement in regards to mixing, levels, guitar tone, etc. I'll just skip that bit. 2. We all make artistic decisions that will alienate a portion of our audience. If you alienate me knowingly, ignor...

The Chthonic Pop Ensemble : I Will be Acquitted. so if you were to leave right now no one could would you culpable, no if you stuck around... oh no. no reason to prolong this bitter end our dying relationship you'd leave it to rot on the vine or perhaps ... on the bone no good could come out of your...

GIANT CONGRATULATIONS TO PACO!!!!

WOOOOO!!!

The Chthonic Pop Ensemble is also exploiting the talents of the more talented this week.
Be sure to catch...
Teplin's celestial cello and hellchoir!
Steve Durand's tremendous trumpet!

Apologies for drawing attention away from reviews - but just to continue from the beginning of this thread and the excellent Jacque Brel cover presented - but Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ, I had never actually seem M. Brel perform - get a load of this:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZFr2Fh66zs&...

I WAS PART OF : IRC BFF - I did the percussion. I sampled melons, carrots, lotus root and some sort of japanese radish that wasn't daikon. And then lined up about 70 samples of the above vegetables pretty like. Then signboy affected it. Jon Eric and friends - I was a friend. I played the drumseses. ...

I heard there was video and audio recorded.

Plz post.

Seriously fucked up.

Yeah it looks like Ujn and I will be in. In celebration of getting on the wagon we decided to ditch the synths and start a STRAIGHT EDGE HARDCORE band. Assuming no one falls off between now and Saturday, of course. In deference to your eardrums its got a poppy, Chthonic kinda feel in the middle. But...

Wow, what another another great batch of songs! Playing "if I were a judge" my top five would be: 1. Howl Down the Chimney. 2. WreckdoM. 3. Frankie Big Face. 4. Tiny Robots. 5. Nigel Clements. Rounding out the top ten in alphabetical order would be Paco, Quimby, RG, Ross, and Signboy. As s...

Optional challenge: avoid Chewbacca references

As others have said, this was an excellent, excellent set of tracks all around. You all deserve a cuddly little puppy. But I'd like to call particular attention to a couple of my favorites in the fight (round?). First, the much under-appreciated Howl Down the Chimney. Tep, that was sheer genius my f...

ROUND ONE of the NUR EIN starts now! Song must include 2 verses, a chorus, a repetition of the chorus and a solo. in that order? Seriously though, we were talking about this on IRC. I thought the chorus needed to be repeated twice in a row (i.e. the end of the cock track). The consensus was that wa...

It's like the template for a Cock track! (Cock's always been a bit on the short side.)

I was too busy seeing she called out 1983, as that is exactly what reve said. :P Yeah. "1983 sound" was an explicit goal this time around. So much so that I wanted to avoid using synthesizers developed after 1983. But somehow a JX10 (c. 1986) did crawl in there towards the end. STYLOPHONE...

My favorites this week were :
Balance Lost
Deetak
Well Read Skeletons

I congratulate all of you, though, as there were TONS of good entries this week!

I just wanted to comment on the great Teplin art two weeks in a row.

So a week later, the songs that remain the most memorable are those submitted by the Durand brothers . While Steve's entry was my pick for the fight right off the bat, it should be noted that Ross's entry has been on heavier rotation in my brain. Like a lot of his songs, it works well on a variety o...

this is the name of one of my least favorite songs by one of my most favorite artists.

Whoah. That puts you in a narrow demographic. You are almost certainly between 33 and 36 years old. Statistically, 34 or 35. 34?

I would also like to throw sizable helping of congratulations, smiles, and thumbs-ups to the Benjamin family.

And of course to the other the artists who contributed tracks. This was a great event!
