Is this a birthday tribute to our good friend fluffy's band fluffy porcupine?

"fluffy porcupine" was my band name, not my me-name.

Haha, thanks, sorry to be, um, prickly.
Anyway EIEBC idea: there are three disparate species all called "porcupine," and folks are also often confused about porcupines' relation to hedgehogs (there is none). Maybe this could become a thing.
Or not. I dunno.

Actually I got "Porcupine" from Deep Throat and it is purely a happy coincidence that DT delivered that title the day before fluffy's birthday.

Maybe I have a song for this? There’s an idea here; we’ll see where it takes me.

Awesome! I also received an entry by another fighter who has been away for a few years. It's great to see folks come back after long breaks.

Very excited to hear Hostess Mostess again! I was just re-listening to the Between The Rain fight. They had one of my favorite SF tracks ever in that fight.

perhaps it could be me to whom you are referring...yes, it's been a couple of years I think.
I'm in, though with a v quick write but it's good to throw my hat into the ring again. Must try to do this more!!

I have a "Porcupine".
Its lyrical approach will be mildly controversial.
Its musical approach will be YMMV.
There will be no doubt it is well made, but it won't be for everyone. Consider yourself warned.

Did this song go missing? Or was it posted under a different name? Why am I suddenly thinking about this now?

Hm, good question. I never saw an email for that one. HM if you want to send it (again?) I'll post it.

So sorry! We had it ready to go and I just spaced and missed the deadline. I just remembered I had pimped it here so I came back to say something. I am beyond humbled that anyone noticed its absence.
I'll put it up somewhere and link to it here when I get to it...

Hey, that's pretty vintage. It's always fun to remember what my life was like when I recorded the oldies.
That classical guitar smashed shortly after I recorded that. I was playing a bit too excitedly and hit the headstock against the wall and the whole neck went kerplooie. It was my first guitar: had it since 2nd grade. Sniff.
I hate the amount of compression I used in that mix. But I love the chord changes in the bridge. Maybe it's time to pull a "Songs In The Attic" and redo some of the A- songs that got B- recordings!
