Cannonade Streete : I enjoyed the overall vibe here. In the middle sections, the tambourine seems to feel a bit lonely. 1:21 might be a nice spot to switch up the percussion. Ah, but then the drums return and the sun is out again. Caravan Ray : Yes, this is fun. I really enjoyed the layers of vocal...

Abjure! :This is delightful. I enjoyed how the vocals fill everything out so nicely that the uke needs nothing else. That said, it could be a nice touch to swap out a vocal section for a twee instrumental interlude or similar. Abominominous : This is fantastic. I enjoyed how well the instrumentatio...

Hello Songfighters! I’m happy I could be here again. Songfight is a place I always appreciated so much. Thank you for the kind reviews. Ugh, I'm rustier than the Tin Man. Henrietta20 is me. Some of you might remember me from 15-20 year ago, submitting as Henrietta or Quimby. This fight is packed wit...

That was awesome! Really enjoyed all your sets. I have an earworm of the amazing "I Fell Flat" performance from Glenn & friends. (Heine: I noticed Glenn's beards too, I couldn't tell which was the before and the after. )

Help yourself to these. I'm just playing along from home. :) Race to the Bottom Fell from "Head of the Class", In a race to the bottom of a glass. Has it really been twenty years gone past? You tell everyone you're fine, Nothing weighs down on your mind. Tempered by a box of wine. Hey, we ...

Welcome back! I've gotten this one before too

Best not to take it personally. At least, that's what I keep telling myself!

Duly noted.

Hello Songfight! I have many great memories of you. My lame excuses:
5 years of voice pains,
Now my gear is obsolete.
Toddler shouts, "Don't sing!"

Dancer in the Dark could be the single most depressing film (fiction) I've seen. Beautiful movie, although I do like to limit my uncontrolable waterworks to 5 minutes per sitting.

I'm contemplating the Buffy musical/episode...

Then yes, I suppose it counts. Just thought some movies & tv shows might be excluded if they were never staged as a play. ie. Spinal Tap or Team America:World Police instead of Oklahoma or JC Superstar.

Would 'A Mighty Wind' count as a musical?

QotD: The value of our house decreased by 25% since we bought it in 2000, not including the cost of improvements like new windows and landscaping. If we were to sell now, it would be pretty tough for us to give somebody a break and come down on price, just cuz we'd consider our asking price to be a ...

The problem with distorted bass is that most guitar distortion pedals cut out the lows which make a bass sound full. What you really want is a way to blend in a distortion with your clear low end. Thanks! I hadn't thought of that! :) Maybe running a clean channel alongside the distortion is just wh...

Does anyone have experience with bass effects? I'm looking to effects for two purposes: #1. I'm in a 3-piece garage band and I'd really like to fatten+gritty up my bass tone & fill up as much space as I can. For that, my first thought is a bass friendly tube overdrive tone.... Between the guitar...

If you want to just make one purchase and be done with it, get the Bass POD XT Live . Not only does it have everything you need all in one, like foot volume, tuner, stereo and mono outs and USB to download FX paks. But it has the best cab, mic and amps mods I've ever heard, all the most famous FX, ...

Henrietta, you know you can get pedals that do rotary speaker effect, right? For example: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=univibe Nice!! I'd only come across a Hughes & Kettner pedal which cost nearly 3x as much. Thanks for the link! I hadn't even considered the stereo output/dual a...

QotD: Figure out how to replicate in a live setting the same kind of bass effects I've been getting in Cubase. My recordings for Nur Ein used various distortion & 'rotary speaker effect' combinations. I'm hoping that overdrive & flanger pedals might get me pretty close?

Man, the rum goes right to my head.

Ooh, I just got Harvey Birdman for PS2 but haven't played it yet.

Oh noes!! That was a fun ride, thank you everyone. I made it much further than I expected to, given the mad amounts of talent and creativity here. There can be only one. Nur ein!!!!

Wow, great job everybody!! Ranked by personal chill factor: Signboy: I love this song. The chorus just seals the deal for me. It might use some kinda instrumental breakdown somewheres after the first chorus, just to give some breathing room before diving into the second half, but that's splitting ha...

the bassline in the verses is ripped straight from "Handle With Care." OMG! :oops: Good thing I changed it up after one verse. It's funny because after I recorded it, I thought "Huh. Is that 'More Than a Feeling'? {checks nets} Nope! Whew. What a relief! I definitely invented this......
