Okay finally I am getting around to reviewing here, because I don't feel like actually working right now. Longfellow Street : A nice haunting sound, actually using what sounds like a real sitar (I don't know if it is or not but it doesn't really matter as long as it sounds right). I like these more...

. . .I haven't listened to a fight in a while, so I'm not familiar with your voice, but this feels like it would have sounded better in a higher key. When I composed it (on a woodland bike path as I commuted to and from work), I was starting on G, but when I went to record, I found that the synthes...

An odd fight, strangely uninspiring to reviewers. I seem to be feeling cranky today. It shows. Dan the Man Band - When you posted the lyrics, I was concerned, but the music puts them in context. A good energetic performance in the general region of Spinal Tap or The Darkness. The echo on the final w...

Apparently there is a cotton weave called "drill," and you can buy a "drill dress." This quite apart from the "drill dress" required by some military or quasi-military institutions, including some private schools I'm glad I know nothing else about. If not for Spud, I wo...

Could someone illuminate me on the finer points of this Songfight title? Searching the internets did me no favors. In fact, I ran across a few NSFW items -which is a troubling thing to do whilst on lunch break. Did you find Dress up Dana ? Eminently SFW, or SFG anyway. Like Caravan Ray, I was tryin...

And fine lyrics they are!

James Owens - The verse is waay too "Rio," with its 80s synths and augmented chords. You treated your voice too much. The organic treatment might have worked better. Didn't you used to do mostly acoustic stuff? I do all kinds of stuff, but only in January did I start using VST plugins. St...

I wrote a song about seamen going through a passage. . .

Interesting -- thanks for posting the session details. That makes at least two Celtic-Indian fusions for this Song Fight! -- although mine doesn't have very much India in it, because I don't have a sitar, much less Arvid.

Google turns up some hits for "Celtic Indian music."

In. It's a long weekend here, but my wife looks like I'm done.

Who, me?

Come, my friend, set down your ale I'll give you something better For by the harbour on this day The Crown hath nailed a letter. They want for men both hard and true And free from all indenture To join a captain and his crew Upon a brave adventure. We'll sail northwest by Canada To find the jewel of...

I've been wondering how I'm going to do this. I think many of us are in the same boat.

Bad Catholic Schoolgirls - Musically, a simple palette, but with enough variation to keep interest. You have at least three voices in the bass register, maybe four. To me, that feels like too many. You're right, the chorus is weaker than the verses. Lyrically consistent -- rude, but without gratuit...

Enjoying the writing for the 3 fights I've entered, and finding myself wishing I had the cash to drop on a decent multi-tracking setup. If software multi-tracking sounds like your cup of tea, check out REAPER . It's about as affordable as it gets, and it's also seriously powerful. Seconded! But you...

I have the Cool Cat tremolo pedal and I like it. I used it on on "Nothing is Everything". I also have a Danelecto distortion pedal. It predates their true-bypass series, but it did cost $40 CDN over the counter. It's not great -- harsh when cranked (though you can mute it with a tone contr...

Welcome back to Songfight. Please be awesome AND gorgeous.

I did use a 20ms delay to get a mechanical effect. I also compressed the hell out of the vocal -- through an MXR pedal on recording, then through the ReaComp VST, then through a prset on the ReaXComp VST, which seemed to hepl, and finally when I bumped the volume of the final WAV. The GSnap scale se...

Ouch. My timing is impossibly bad. This news just broke.

Thanks, I added GSnap to my plugins. Couldn't get it to do what I wanted though -- that flat robotic sound. Guess I should read the documentation. . .

In. I'd edit the ending to make the song shorter, but I'm out of time. (I have a day job.)

Best enjoyed with strobe lights.
