*googles 'descants'*

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah, Google that shit, Jeff! I probably just mean countermelody. When I read the Wikipedia entry on "descant," it seems a little too specific to early music and hymnal.

Balls To Monte : I get the Beatles comparisons, but you sound more like Supergrass to me. (They're awesome, by the way, but I'm guessing/hoping you know that already.) I like this arrangement and it's a pretty good song, but I would have either taken another pass at the lead vocal or dropped it by ...

Frankie Big Face : Wow! I love this! The production is as close to perfect as any of us can afford. The slightly-obscured love story. The vocoder[I'm guessing an homage to ELO]. I love everything about it. Great job! Wow! What a compliment. If I can write the song fast enough (as I did in this case...

Frankie Big Face - first time I heard this was while listening to the Nur Ein XIX round 0 entries, so my initial reaction to the opening line was that you were calling the Guinness beer company, until the follow-up line about a new world record whereupon I realized that you meant a different Guinne...

A New World Record (For Your Consideration) - Frankie Big Face Dear Guinness Executive Director I am writing with a story For your consideration I’m setting a new world record Without even trying! Here’s a brief summation: I jumped through a million hoops Bent right over backwards Dug myself the dee...

What???!!!! Thanks everyone!

[ Frankie Big Face : This is really good and should win. Where I've forgotten how to record, you've only gotten better. I love this production but it's not just the mix & mastering that assentuate the performance. I like the way your voice sounds in this piece and really like the night-air atmo...

frankie big face: i think somebody earlier mentioned the 50's vibe of this. it's a very striking, insular yet spacey arrangement. like an astronaut drinking because they miss humanity. I love that description. There is a strange contrast between the reverb and tremolo on my synth patch and the dry,...

These aren't great reviews, but I like to read reviews of my music (even when they're not super-positive), so I (unfairly) assume you do too. Add : My favorite thing about this song is the loose feel. But I also love that this could have been posted in 2001 - you haven't aged or matured a bit! ;) Su...

For Your Consideration - Frankie Big Face Dear Guinness Executive Director I am writing with a story For your consideration I’m setting a new world record Without even trying! Here’s a brief summation: I jumped through a million hoops Bent right over backwards Dug myself the deepest hole Then climbe...

Frankie Big Face : i really like that quavery synth from the intro. Or whatever it is. I really like how the first two verses mirror each other. Gonna vote for this one. I had two production goals with this recording. Test out the new UAD "Capital Chambers" reverb plugin I bought and deci...

Frankie Big Face – The song itself is deceptively simple, but the lyrics are rather impactful. Points deducted for leaning heavily into the “sleeping in the park” bit, but at least it isn’t used directly as a rhyming couplet with the title except once at the very end. And the song itself is lovely ...

Frankie Big Face I like the intro alot. Reminds me of something. Its kinda like a gothy Everly brothers. I like the way the bass comes in. I like the lyrics alot. Has a real classic feel to it. Well done. I love that this reminded you of the Everly Brothers. When I wrote the song, I 100% figured I ...

Hey hey! Thanks everyone.

Twenty years have passed since my last win.

I’m glad people liked my big guitar riff. I had to practice and it’s still pretty sloppy. I wouldn’t allow any of you solo any of those guitar or bass tracks.

Drinking in the Dark - Frankie Big Face I’m drinking in the dark again Still searching for that spark again A light can’t find the soul Of a heart that’s made of coal So I’m drinking in the dark again I’m sleeping in the park again Hungry and thirsting for my dearest friend But a bench is not a bed ...

Frankie Big Face – bouncing between so many different vocal effects (from mostly clean, to drowned in reverb, to a whole myriad of others – except for a de-esser) can be a little jarring, almost as much as bouncing between pronunciations of ne-VAD-uh versus ne-VAH-duh. If that’s supposed to imply a...

In fact, you actually must vote for at least two, even.

WHAAAAT?! What kind of communist organization are you running?

I'm not good at reviewing songs so I'll just say that I really enjoyed Glenn and Frankie's songs the most this time around. But I think my vote goes to Glenn, really loving the chords and harmonies in the bridge 🎉 Also kinda good to hear that the criticisms of my song so far are the same things I w...

I’m not sure how it’s at all backhanded to be told I’m getting better - I’ve been working hard at that all this time and I’m glad it’s showing! Oh, I don’t know. People are sensitive. You are getting better and it’s showing. Twenty years ago, I wasn’t nice in reviews. I’m trying to be more positive...

Add! Frankie Big Face! Glenn Case! State Shirt! Starfinger! Fluffy Porcupine! (er...Sockpuppet!) What year is this??!! Add : The opening reminded me a little "Havana" by Camila Cabello. I know that makes no sense at all, but that's what my brain did. I like that fake oboe or English horn m...

I think it was a GIF version of this one -- which is only remotely interesting because I took it on my way to the first Song Fight Live. DSC00052.JPG Ah, the first SongFight Live. Good times. Will forever be remembered as the time I told a very talented Mr. Mo to play "A" on the bass for ...
