Lunkhead - I'll just add that to understand you have to try singing backups over Smalltown's vox - it's a treat in itself. Thanks for the comments. No doubt Rich is a monster singer though - his album is a mainstay in our house.

What a fight! Lots of good and great work in here - nothing that totally sucks. Right on! Micah Sommersmith -Love the reflecting on life and it’s journey vibe - the music fits the oeuvre of the lyrics. The opening was a little worrisome, but it came together nicely. Being someone who reflects this w...

Toby Roktot The intro didn't sell it well - but once the song settles I dig it - cross between Dylan and Bruce Cockburn. The refrain just puts me off because the intensity of the playing makes the timing get sloppy. I keep hoping for the third part. Needs a third part. This one is charming. The Magn...

Every once in a while the schedules line up and Gert dusts itself off for a tune - really awesome to jump in the ring with those cats. Looking forward to this fight.

DJ Ranger Den Awesomeness: Short and sweet. Your voice has a really nice quality to it - simple, pretty. I like the picked out guitar work. LessThan: Could be tighter with the backing vocals - but I'm sure you know that. overall: Not my cup of tea but that doesn't mean I can't like it, which I do. ...

The Hip Cola Lots of interesting sounds here -- the record sound at the end, the broken up guitar at the start, these are all really nice flourishes that add a lot of color. The gruff angry prophet distorted vocals are somewhat at odds with with the one planet one people kumbya message and are too ...

My random assignment is: http://sfjukebox.org/songs/bag_of_bones ... 0Sparklies - which I haven't heard but I rather like!

Can't say for sure how soon I'll get it covered - but I will do it sooner than later. Cool.

heh - that moment when you're reading your lyrics and realize the title is OF This and not FROM This. Sigh...

We're alive and arrived to say nothing great, there's lots of hate - but can we all just wait - take the bait, prep the hate.... but no! There's a choice, acting out without poise, bring the noise - ahh clear the slate - are we too late = is this to be our fate? oh no... we're singing out, scream an...

ahh yes, the ol' familiar tell-myself-I'm-done trick, to shake out those last minute ideas for the mix. heh. submitting tonight as I'm off camping for the weekend. Had hoped to work this one with Smalltown Mike - but our schedules didn't line up, so I went in a totally different (than my original pl...

Working on a little something for this.

Last half of my reviews: Berkely Social Scene Awesome: reverb on the guitar is awesome (stereo guitars collpasing to a less stereo ghost) - vocal character is great. Nice and tight! Not So Much: nothing - this is a great song all around. Nice work! The only quibble is sometimes the guitars sound out...

First half of my reviews: Hillbilly Awesome: This is pure awesome. Namecheck works. Purring noise made me LOL Not so much: WAY too short. Overall: I'd consider voting for a longer, more realized version of this. Nice work! Toby Roktot Awesome: Pacing/cadence of the vox is spot on. Not so much: lack ...

What's up SF? Been about 100 years or so - but I'm in this one. Looking forward to this!

Nope - only the ones who emigrated from Oz.

No self-respecting Canadian Girlfriend plays Bryan Adams at her wedding. The especially cool ones go the added step of reviewing the DJ's set lists in advance to catch those things.

Word is, Gert is.

yah.. I didn't even think to link up videos and stuff. Maybe I should. But I figure the distance between not knowing what one is/does, and buying a kit which requires a fair bit of assembly and soldering is pretty great... :) Near as I can tell, it's totally what you need for making all of your Xmas...

Hey gang... Thought I'd drop this here in case anyone here is interested in Monome-ery. I've got two 40h kits that I haven't had the chance, nor will I, to build into the ultra cool Monome. If you're interested, send me an email at thehipcola (at) gmail (dot) com . I'd sell both for $425US (paid $26...

DOH! Wish I'd known about that sooner. Thanks Charles! I'm away until Monday, probably too late for that. I might try it anyways. Good luck all!

Rob

argh! NOT in. Almost done too.. sigh. Oh well.. it's a decent track that will find it's way out somewhere or other. Looking forward to hearing these tracks.

I think I'm in.. for the first fight in a very long time. I'm 3/4 finished writing the song G&G style, but 1/2 done converting that to eighties electro something or other.... and it needs one more part in either version.
