Re: Write It Up (Beat Me Up Reviews)
Lunk - hey, that's groovy - only way to do it is to do it. I thought the playing sounded just fine. It's cool that you went for it instead of bailing on this week's fight cause playing and mixing drums wasn't your usual thing. Hehehe I oughta make Mal mix the next one.

Re: Write It Up (Beat Me Up Reviews)
Just gonna review the ones I voted for... Berkeley Social Scene [/url] Love the guitar tone and vocal tone. Vocal treatment reminds me a lot of Helmet's "Unsung". Doubled? Delayed? Dunno, but I like it. 'Sup with the drums? They sound muffled... usually y'all's production is great across t...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
Longfellow Street Loving the groove. Saw your band name and was like "Yay! The girl who sings like the Ditty Bops!" then you pull this jazzy funky thing out and I unhooked my headset and blared it, scaring the cat out of the room. I can picture babies being made to this, or due to this so...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
Longfellow Street [/url] Won’t comment on lyrics since you didn’t post them. I’m digging the groove and vocal style, not a common one here at the SF. Can’t tell what’s being said in the whispery part. Vote! Synthy freakout at the end is a nice touch. You know, I honestly didn't know there was a pla...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
It's best if you get the camera rolling while you're recording That makes total sense. I dig what Pomplamoose does, their "If you see it, you hear it, and if you hear it, you'll see it somewhere in the video" ethos. That rehearsal space looks pretty sweet! I'm lucky that Mallory's cool wi...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
Long Fellow- Thanks man! I imagine your song this week would make a mighty fun video! Do you have a camera? Sort of... an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. :) Got plenty of mic clamps that would hold them if I wanted to get all tripod-standy. What camera did y'all use? What video editing software? Would ...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
All female vocals by Mallory... she says she was getting her Macy Gray on in the first verse and doing Betty Boop meets Snow White in the shower verse The take me upstairs verse is just Mallory 'n me being ourselves... appropriately enough.

I think "cacaphony" is an excellent word to describe the 3rd verse freakout.

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
you mean the ebow? Is that what dat be? Awesomeness - I love me some eBow. First time I ever heard one was on Big Country's records - they make their guitars sound like bagpipes. Saw Carbon Leaf in Jacksonville, the guitarist had one hanging from his mic stand. Is it really gay that my Mom gave me ...

Re: It always gets better once there is a review thread
The other instrument is a "flute" setting on Ellatron, a Mellotron simulator for iPhone, being played by DJ Ranger Den (thanks, Denni!). Now THAT'S cool. Groovy on playing the piano bits live too, I vastly prefer getting stuff done in a live take. Which doesn't mean I won't brutally edit ...

AntBut [/url] Likin' the filtered drums... but... is there some kind of MIDI-background music/cliche lyrical generator somewhere online? I kept waiting for the punchline.

Re: One can only hope (prefight thread)
Our entry's a little... schizoid. We threw a Songfight party, gave people a basic form and lyric structure, asked them to write a verse (about something they felt always made things get better - got some very silly results) and then play whatever they wanted over a long loop of the form. I stole the...

Re: Can we talk about these songs?(A Conversation reviews)
100% in agreement.Either sing with your flaws or deal with it. Not everyone is a singer. Tell that to Niel Young. Sing with a 'heart of gold" and soul. You'll get great.

And your song rocks as well. Anyone ever tell you that you sound like B Real, from Cypress Hill? :) Ha! Awesome! Comin' at the slummmms and the hoodlummmms... but actually, no, so far the only person I've been compared to on this song is Fred Schneider (B52s) on trucker speed. So thanks, B Real is ...

Re: I hope these songs are ... (Better than Before reviews)
Just in case the meaning of my song was not clear - I put a few subtle hints in this video: I still don't get it... ;) Reminds me of seeing Jethro Tull when I was 18... until the video screens over the stage started flashing similar imagery, I hadn't figured out what the song "Kissing Willy&qu...
