There is now a "review" button on the homepage alongside the "stream all" and an also new-ish "download" button. Geez, how did I miss that? Thanks! I've cut-and-pasted the template to a local text editor. I've lost far too many things to Internet hiccups while composin...

Is the Review-o-matic still around? I can't find it.

Your point about how we balance our highest expectations with practical considerations raises the philosophical question of compromise, which informs Nietzsche's lament for the Last Man, T.S. Eliot's lament for J. Alfred Prufrock, and to an alarming extent, the MAGA aspects of contemporary U.S. poli...

I'll try to be in to honour the occasion, if I'm not away from the studio at the time, and if I can get somewhere with the title. I'll keep an eye out for the fight.

I am never asleep at the same time.

Lyrics by CynicalMonkey Like a cog you only spin when you’re told to Locked in place, daydreaming of the old you Time flashing past in the blink of an eye A raging river that keeps passing you by Live to work, work to live, all seems the same Just another pawn in someone else’s game Clock watching d...

In. Thanks to CynicalMonkey, who wrote the lyrics and posted them at Ye Olde Lyric Marte.

Help, I slipped tripped and accidentally wrote a Nickelback song https://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=232294#p232294 Thanks for donating the lyrics to Ye Olde Lyric Marte. I've already got something for the verses, and I'm working on the bridge and chorus. If you feel like collaborating, se...

Absolutely Credible : This is a real tour de force. In all its parts it has impressive potential. The background has a cardboard quality; it would benefit from more instruments, as well as more prominent parts. The opening is almost oppressively mellow, riffing on soft-focus minimalism; in context ...

James Owens – I love the lyrics. Your vocal delivery is really unique; I like the way you almost turn “saying” into three syllables. Of the two “versions”, this one is my favorite. I wish your drum loop was bigger, fatter, more present. It's an electronic kit, but a (very steady) live drummer. I ad...

This is going to get confusing, because two versions of the same song are up, under "Guitarz and Vocalz" and "James Owens." The first one was recorded with Shawn during my visit to Ottawa. The second was put together in Dartmouth, with Keith from Truro on drums. Is that not what...

Every file storage service has built-in ways to share links to files to people via email, or at least, Dropbox and Google Drive definitely do, and that seems like a very basic function that ought to be pretty in any such service. You shouldn't need to use any additional tools other than the file st...

Pannacotta Army deserves the win, but I thought Inflatable Vegetables deserved more than one vote. I guess I need to be more generous with my own votes.

RADIO GALAXIES I’ve been considering a tinfoil hat Whenever I go to the laundromat I’ve been hearing voices from the Coke machine Can someone tell me what it means? I started hearing them a while ago I tried to drown them with the radio And that’s the way I heard the news from space Transmissions fr...

Berkeley Social Scene : Creative arrangements, textures, and syncopations. A bright and open sound. The vocals seem a bit muddy. coyot : Nice punky protest song. Tight, punchy delivery. The stutter evokes Talking Heads. The breakdown is good but a little too open. I feel it would be better if the s...

Thanks everyone, this is a gold mine!

In late with a collaboration. Music and lyrics worked out with the Undead Squirrels, drums courtesy of McHaggis.

What is the best way to collaborate online to create a track? At the moment I'm trying to add drums. A drummer in another city has offered to help. Our current plan is that I'll mix down what I've got and send him the mix. He'll load it into his recording system, add a drum track, and send me the dr...

I will be in, but late. This is my first long-distance collaboration. We're trying to add drums from 100km away, and the drummer needs the file in WAV format. I am learning about Firefox FileLink and Dropbox for Linux. . .

I was away from the studio all week, but I wrote something anyway. Last night I threw some tracks together, and it sounds godawful. . . I'll see what I can do with it. . .

You may notice similarities in the lyrics. We collaborated by putting musical and lyrical ideas on the table, and then using them to create two songs and two recordings, in home studios about an hour apart..
