Songs posted!

Thanks for all the songs - I tried writing you some reviews, I hope they're okay.

Abjure! - you know what you're doing. You have clever cheeky lyrics and phrasing and it's all very well produced. Would I listen to it again? Probably not...

Seeseeretc - I'm digging the gentle Imperial March backing. I'm reading Digital Minimalism at the moment, and I misheard your lyric as "the Internet is Bad", and I appreciated that connection. A fun story, either way

ChrisClub - I want more of each bit of this. This has a really strong vibe.

SPoF (it me!) - 69bpm, what a dickhead. I've been trawling through My Morning Jacket back catalogue, and I think some of the reverb found its way into my yeahs.

Johnny Poundsign - starts strong with that synth line. It's not a bad song, but I don't understand the breakdown section.

BSS - feels like we've got a lot of lines that needed to be reconsidered to make them scan better. I'm really digging the chimney guitar on my right side. Bonus points for high jump references.

Manifesto - "don't we all feel a little used" is a great lyric. There are production notes that someone more capable than me could give you, so I'll just note that the drums feel a little 'ploddy' (and yes I realise the inequality of that statement when I'm giving you 69bpm)

You misspelled my name so I corrected it for you (by the way it's written j$ not j£ so the joke, if that's what is, doesn't even work. I have no idea why know why this wriles me so much, to be honest.) Anyway, I wonder whether you are reviewing a different song, as I have no idea what you're talking about! To these broken ears, I didn't write either a synth line or a breakdown section. Yes, there's a synth on the track. Thanks, anyway.

The poundsign makes sense because you is British. Anywho - didn't intend to upset you with my silly names, so I am sorry for that.

Okay / the synth is probably a guitar or something then. That descending line that starts the song, the 'not in a farm shop' lyric - all very nice.

The breakdown - the bit from 30 to 45 seconds - that's then it I can't get my head around.

Anywho - be well, and motor on

Cheers for the clarification. Didn't upset me about the name, just annoyed me. Two very different things, to me at least.

Abjure! Wins! It's true!

Congratulations! Abjure! It! Was! A! Very! Well! Done! Song!
