Re: Be careful, they might have pens (Je Suis Charlie review

Wow there's an interesting mix for such a loaded title Berkeley Social Scene: Comes in with a bang! Love the sound and the message. Rocked it. Inflatable Vegetables: Nice bubbly feel in the instruments. Hard to make out some of the lyrics - mostly because the rhodes piano and your voice are fighting...

Re: 5090 2010

You can throw me on: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/users/mister-mann I just took a huge kickoff today/yesterday and wrote a whole album that I'm going to aptly title 16 bits in 16 hours: 10 songs, 42 minutes of music, 16 hours of composition (with eating/cooking/occasional interruption) Maybe this ...

Re: $2.50, same as in town (what kind of love reviews)

Soooo I can't take the time to do reviews this week because I should be studying for qualifying exams (shhhhh! don't tell anyone I'm here), but after going back to listen to my song again I'd like to formally apologize for how embarassingly bad things were on my track this time around. This week I w...

Re: What kind of song are you writing?

In it - but not to win it. I have officially gone all live tracks this week, no programming in the mix (not even effects beyond some chorus and reverb). Since I do not own drums, this means there are no drums :'( but gosh I love my new Danelectro U2 on clean settings. Now it's time to eat the dinner...

Re: How much blood did you spill? (Let's Get Bloody Reviews)

Listened to everyone a few times this week. X = Voted * = Gold Star Anni Albers Quilts (X**): Charming and very indie-quirky. This song made me smile every time it came on. To me sounds ALMOST like Hot Hot Heat covering a song by They Might be Giants. I think that's a great thing Asperse : For some ...

Re: Are you a Quitter? (prefight)

So while I wasn't looking Mister Mann churned out a nice indie electro-pop ballad. I'm so proud of him. Can't wait to hear what you all think.

Re: How much blood did you spill? (Let's Get Bloody Reviews)

Mister Mann I like the piano but the singing was a bit too twee for me. I don't think I've ever heard the word twee without the suffix pop on the end (twee pop). Could you elaborate on what you mean? Singing was too poppy-feeling for you? Singing had too much/too little reverb/effects on it? EDIT: ...

Mister Mann – Good lyrics , not a fan of the voice but thats just a question of taste. Interesting tune. ... tonight I gotta dig out my motivation that has been lost for so long, attempt to write some lyrics (my downfall) You want me to send you some good lyrics for Please Stop with a bass line/cho...

"Let's Get Bloody"
"Please Stop"

All I can say is "Keep All Your Promises" would have fit well after this week's songfight instead of two weeks earlier.

Wow, everyone's really good this week. Reviews finally in as promised (X) = Vote (*) = Gold Star Amelia(*): Like a mix of Bayside and Yellowcard. Some vocal phrasing is awkward (you bulldoze through a bunch of words as fast as you can, aka "IknewI'dloveyou"). In terms of lyrics, you litera...

So I submitted twice because the first time I was listening afterwards and realized "holy crap I mastered it so you can't hear the drums!" Please use the one I submitted later (a little after midnight Sunday into Monday). I'm really sorry Spud!

Re: FAWM 2010

Alright, I have a conundrum. Given the way that I normally make songs (straight to full-blown electronic indie pop if time permits, no demos) and that school is breathing down my neck right now I know that there is NO way that I can (or should even try to) make a full 14 songs.

Re: Ready the polygraph! (Keep All Your Promises reviews)

I voted on the Tuesday right after submissions, which was before the dunce cap was put in place (hence why I voted for late entrants)

Also, I definitely voted unless my computer glitched. I'm a little OCD about checkboxes and submit buttons.

So, I was going to try and do reviews tonight because there were so few entries. I didn't and State Shirt is at fault.

Manhattan Glutton, way to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks for the clarification of "repetitiveness". :)

The grammar-samurai in me is nearly ashamed enough to commit seppuku though. The language part of my brain was NOT thinking last night.

Re: Ready the polygraph! (Keep All Your Promises reviews)

Mister Mann - It would make a good church song. You could have doubled the tempo. Good singing, but too thin and repetitious altogether. Meh, I kinda like the thinness, but I agree with the doubled tempo thing. I had no intention of making it as long as it ended up being when I started. Mister Mann...
