Berkeley Social Scene : Really liked the rhythm and riff at the start of the verse, would have liked a bit more of that. Hostess Mostess : Beautiful vocal tone, love the hook in the chorus (I don't believe). The eerie scratch effects I thought were a mistake at first but work well with the guitar s...

tomdg

Balleando Gaiundos : Too joyful not to like. Like the shift in tempo, the guitars are spot on, and the baroque-pop keyboard is love. Could be a Sabaton backing track - has this fallen through a time-warp from their album about the great robot uprising of 2024? Berkeley Social Scene : I like the dou...

House Arrest - tomdg Rent slave Wage slave Silverfish Ant plague Mould walls Asbestos Gas condemned Monoxide These four walls imprison me Put ‘em under house arrest (x2) Flat roof bed shower Toxic land sick building Death trap poor trap Fire-clad high rise These four walls imprison me Put ‘em under ...

So, House Arrest ... I thought I'd turn the phrase inside out and imagine that it was actually the house being arrested for crimes against its occupants. So I've written about the dark side of renting, unscrupulous landlords, and the economic inequalities that meant that money gets taken from one pe...

Go Between by tomdg This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live. Hate was the choice that we made as a nation Hatred and prejudice and isolation Hate thy ne...

Working on this one. My first thought was the novel we had to read at school (the past is a different country, they do things differently there) but I didn't fancy that so went in a very different direction ...

Brother Baker: Iconic ska sound. It loses the ska beat when you slow it down for the break, but because of the instrumentation it still fits with the rest. Nice lyrics. Brown Word and the Big Whine: Like the penultimate chord in the chorus. Hints of "Love me do" on Harmonica. Nice tones al...

Yeah, what do I know. But I do like metal so the optional challenge was good fun. Brother Baker: Starts with a really strong opening riff - I love the whole intro. I'm a purist when it comes to metal and prefer it without keyboard, but that's just a taste thing. Range of vocal styles might have been...

Potential Consequences - tomdg feat rox I really want a coffee, I really want a beer I really need a haircut and my friends to all be near To go shopping, watch the football, have a party, celebrate It’s my birthday and I sit at home like billy no-mates Yes I’m sick of spending time in front of my n...

tomdg feat rox. My take on iconic instrumentation. Plus, I'm going all authentic and giving it full nerdcore.

Tomdg – How do you say Tomdg? The long chains of lyrics are pretty interesting. The lyrics themselves could do, I think, with more specificity. Almost every noun in there is abstract: dream, news, soul, nightmare, fears, terror, heart, pain, disbelief, hate, prejudice, lust, power, curse, state, po...

Wednesday morning, two a.m. I tried to sleep, a futile dream I cannot bear to check the news I cannot trust another soul I wake to nightmare incarnate My fears confirmed, the terror chokes My heart with pain and disbelief, To hate unsheathed, to prejudice unfurled The lust of power, the curse of Cai...

I thought the title sounded like "The Same Deep Water As You", which I now appreciate even more.

tomdg

Tomdg : bold choice to make your live song so bass-riff heavy! It's a good riff though and makes this stand out from the guitar-heavy songs. Interesting lyrics for the most part although the over-emphasis of "obviously" towards the start struck me as odd. I really like the way the title l...

Tomdg—This reminds me of early Midnight Oil (I really like Midnight Oil), which is probably not a comment you expected to get. Funnily enough, I thought of them this week (BLNY). Not so much the sound, but something they said about how the fight to restore the land stolen from original Australians ...

Well ... I've uploaded a fight for this week, a video I had done previously of another songfight song, a new version of an old songfight song of mine, and a cover of my favourite songfight song ever. Well ... the latter two are uploading now, if they fail you won't see them ... Hopefully you've got ...

Better Luck Next Year - tomdg We’ll never wake up to another new Bowie song Rickman is dead, obviously long gone I’ll never see Prince play live, see Motörhead Emerson, Lake and Cohen, all now dead And all that you can say to me Is keep your head down, keep your eyes shut, better luck next year Bett...

tomdg

Live video incoming, full of one-take goodness (oxymoron?) Slightly different backing for a bit of variety. If I'm going to submit it for the "dead" fight as well then I'll add some more stuff, maybe play around with it a bit. And yes, 2016 wasn't the best.

Hi all - so I'm pretty new to Logic still, and obviously made a terrible mistake. Sorry about that.
No worries, I was just pulling your leg. I know it was just an oversight really and it’s of no matter.

I had to laugh at this having done exactly the same thing myself last time!

Tomdg - Love the energy here. I hope, politically, this is mostly a sarcastic viewpoint. But either way, a good song is a good song. It certainly doesn’t outstay its welcome. Great job.

Be reassured on that one, 100% and thankyou.

and my (new!) bass guitar sounds surprisingly like a Rickenbacker.
Is it a Rickenbacker? If so, I guess that's good news, but not necessarily if it's a Fender

lol

It's a cheap copy of a Hofner violin bass, so I have no idea if that's good news or not. But I like the sound anyway
