Hostess Mostess : This is live??? Incredibly impressive. I can barely remember my own lyrics when performing live, let alone play something in seven, lol. The melody is very enjoyable and really catchy. "We're sharp like swords, but they're only words..." is a lovely bit. One of my favour...

I bought a Shure SM7B a couple years ago and am getting gradually better at using it. I probably use too much compression, but I guess it's better than not enough. I sing on a bit of an angle and at a little bit of a distance [basically, a trick I learned from watching Glenn Case's livestreams] and...

Well the talent is with Joe more so than me, but I'll try to do better next time. You're far from the first to have issue with my lyrics, so it's clearly a problem. Tempted to include the line "What's the best part of waking up" in my next song. ;p Thanks for the review. Lol I liked the l...

phrasing makes a huge difference between constructive criticism and just coming across as mean spirited and I don't think that's what you were going for. Hey nothing personal, mate. I gave your song 4 close listens today. I gave every song at least 4 and I don't do reviews unless I can devote the t...

For years now in SpinTunes, Nur Ein & Song Fight, if I do reviews I skip reviewing people who don't post lyrics. So if your not reviewed, that's why,

Oversight corrected.

Carry on.

Dead Ambassadors: As an unapologetic member of the administrative class, I would like to cordially say a big f*** y** to you and the rest of these stupid punks I have to work to keep in line every day. But I will definitely vote for this and put it on my running playlist because I swear you helped ...

Ding! We are in!

I'm old and my hearing is going and I don't trust my mixes anymore but I like this melody so it seems worth a submission. Cheers to all!

This title reminded me of when I first joined SongFight! in 2004 and people on these message boards would post "Nevada!" and then an enormous jpg of a Nevada landscape to effectively end a discussion thread because no one wanted to wait around the minute or so it took the image to load, an...

Oh, Houston is famously micro-fractured as far as like… dangerous neighborhoods go. So “med center” can mean hi-end living, or it can mean zombieland. Shoot me an address before you sign a lease and I’ll give you a 👍👎😆 Will do! I walked around a lot and took the Red Line up and down. Midtown was ve...

I moved from there to Maine two years ago this month. What part of town? I've lived in the Heights, Med Center, Downtown, Pearland, Energy Corridor... moved around a lot in 8 years. I don't know of any other songfighters in the area; most of the Texas contingent was always Austin-based, with Wreckd...

Hey which if any of our SongFight! crew lives in the Houston area? I am taking a job there starting this summer. I'll be back and forth between Texas and Michigan, but I'd love to meet up with any Houston-based fighters for a jam or a collab or a beer or a game.

I'm in and like Jim mine is sad too.
SadFight!

We are working in the Phrygian mode.

My 15yo wants to go see Maise Peters in Detroit this weekend and I have to say she's a pretty good songwriter. The pop production is a bit slick for me but it frames her songs well, and it sounds kind of '80s which makes my GenX heart beat. Kind of a drag to drive into the city at night and back hom...

Ok ChatGPT was embarrassingly helpful. Thanks for the push, Fluffy. Vocals done, mix 98% there. Hostess Mostess is in!

I have a whole song recorded and ready except I am completely blocked up for lyrics. I have a dang good melody but it needs a lot of syllables and internal rhymes to make it work and I'm too old for this shit. Where do you guys find last minute lyrics inspiration?

I fear Trurl and Klapaucius are about end the universe as we know it.

My next prompt was "Write a review of a good but amateurish song called "The Last Good Year" that you found catchy but maybe a little too trite and cliche." It wrote: I recently heard a song called "The Last Good Year" and it was pretty catchy, but also a bit too cliche...

I went to OpenAI to try their new chatGPT tool and just for giggles the first prompt I tried was "Write sad and wistful lyrics for a popular song called "The Last Good Year" with lots of internal rhymes and a couplet structure." Here's what it wrote for me: Verse 1: When I look b...

I made an album after working on it at least a little every day in November! My alias is Disposable Time and the album is called "Exchange." It's only 5 songs so it's more of an EP, but waddyagonnadooaboudit? Album on BandCamp I blogged about the process. Phew that was a lot of music makin...

I am enjoying an excuse to record something every day! I'm tracking my progress on an old-fashioned blog in case anyone wants to hear about how the sausage is made...

Here's the blog!

I am doing Novembeat (and ideally NaSalMo as well) this year. I have really slacked off the music stuff over the last year or so and it's hurting my heart. I think this will help.

I'll be posting my progress at this oldie-time blog I set up here. Stop on by and leave a comment.
