Somehow I'm almost done. Yay. More classic Phlub experimentalism but kind of catchy maybe?

Just need to mix down, submit, post the lyrics and I'll be in. It started out as a corny country lyric until I asked myself, "what would Prince do with this?" and while none of the individual tracks are up to what TAFKAP could've done, overall, I think it came out pretty well! Optional challenge met in a sorta roundabout way.

Officially in for my 2nd fight in a row. Promise this one is less minimal and more comical.

Song written. Now all I have to do is improve the chord progression, rhythm, rhyme scheme, melody and style. Oh, and begin the recording phase.

Inspiration struck last night, so I'm in with something last minute and whimsical.

I've spent too many years in D league to change now. Hell, I'm lucky when I play my fucking guitar in time. But here we are. Christmas eve and I'm pressing the record button. Ain't life grand?

Glad to get this finished before the diversion of too much drink and rich food kicks off.
There's nothing remotely associated with a holiday theme - maybe I should've just slapped some obligatory sleigh-bells in the mix.

Merry Christmas all

I wrote 3 songs before I settled on something. It involves Christmas. I'm sure the other 2 songs will get parted out for rhymes or imagery somewhere down the line. I'll be late but I think I can get it in under the wire.

"Brace Yourself" is the first one due in the new year. It'd be a great way to start the year.
