Re: The colonoscopy thread

I had my first colonoscopy about a year ago, the prep was by far the hardest part. No solid food for 2 days and a ton of laxatives. I had to get a bottle of Miralax meant to be taken over two weeks, and take the whole thing in one day. That was... fun.

I had four benign polyps removed.

Re: Gift of Music 2020/2021

I've surely made better sounding recordings, but this is as close to done as I'm gonna get and my giftee has waited long enough.

Re: Gift of Music 2020/2021

Not in the best position to record now, but that was true last time and I still got a song in so I guess that’s no excuse. So here we go: “People Who Eat Darkness” - Steven Wilson MPcoUCFAVcQ “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” - Cake u7aDstrDMf0 “Sinking” - The Cure UHEy-2Y_s6g “A Mission In Life” - Stan RId...

Re: Gift of Music - COVID-19 Special Edition!

I am finally in, have emailed my song for Owl. Mucho apologies for the tardiness. Still not completely sold on this mixdown and I may rework it, feel free to PM me if anything seems glaringly off.

And I still can't sing.

Re: Gift of Music - COVID-19 Special Edition!

So am I, like, the only one left? Jeezus, I should just tattoo a giant L to my forehead.

This may end up being the worst recording I've ever made but it is getting done this week, dammit.

Re: Gift of Music - COVID-19 Special Edition!

Cybronica - I am absolutely loving this arrangement, the vocals in particular. You stayed faithful and made it your own at the same time, like all great covers do. And I'm totally OK with shortening it to a more reasonable length. Well done, thank you! I'm underway but not there yet, have every inte...

Re: Gift of Music - COVID-19 Special Edition!

Haven't even touched this. Again, not in the best position to record anything, probably shouldn't have even entered. Not giving up, though.

First thing I thought of was "Pink Napkins." Then I remembered that Zappa actually did a "Pink Napkins."

Re: Gift of Music 2017-2018

I'm guessing your list simply got missed. I count 10 lists, there doesn't seem to be an odd number after all.

Perhaps we should just pair you with HInc.

Re: Who would you want to see come back?

I believe Cow Exchange was just Plat, and the Plat/Puce combo was called Mostly Harmless.

And I still think Cow Exchange's "Get a Stupid Answer" album is the single greatest thing Songfight has ever produced.
