Not directed at you, dear Fightmaster. Never.

Happy holidays to all, whatever you do or don't recognize. Stay safe. Cheers!

When was the deadline, again? Huh.

Disembodied Voices - Paco del Stinko

A disembodied voice told me so
(Yes I know)
You have to grow that seed that you've sown
(Yes I know)

Very enjoyable, thanks folks. And the 20 minute area is perfect, chunky without bloat. Keep'em coming!

I got all the way through rackwagon , when I accidently deleted all of the reviews I had written. My apologies, but here are new, much briefer remarks. Lot of songs, man! add - Lullaby to churchy campfire song to a warm, patient and mature song. All good. Alchemy feat. Copernicus - Groovy purples an...

That was very enjoyable and interesting. More, please!

in with a moody wah, no kalimba.

The Smoke Is Rolling In - Paco del Stinko There is smoke, before fire Heed the bell, hear the town crier Corner to corner my eyes are filled The smoke comes rolling in The sun at night, so far away All you have now, is yesterday Corner to corner my eyes are filled The smoke comes rolling in Yeah ye...

Round One: Midnight, after work. Hell's Bells and Greenhead IPA. Everyone gets a complaint. add - The synth flourish in between lines sounds great, I thought I was hearing an effected guitar for a moment. Love the guitar tone and crisp but warm attack of it. The melody is easy and relaxed, catchy a...

Wow. Like'm or not, Van Halen was a massive game changer of his time and for a long time. Underneath the pyrotechnics of his playing is some nice phrasing, some very good songs, and some seriously gnarly guitar tones. RIP.

This week's fight song has both Telecaster and Stratocaster in it. I panned them hard left and right, Tele comes in first, then Strat, playing higher parts, second. Halfway through they reverse parts. I used the same amp and settings, compressor, mic and preamp, without any changes, just switched gu...

Niv - Any idea how many fight winners or ducks made it to your gems list? S'pose it doesn't matter, as it's all your personal preference and both winners and ducks alike may not have deserved their tallies anyway. Just a thought.

That would be awesome, Spud!

Also: Sent you a pm a few days ago.

Congrats to the winners. Very good songs, all.

Oo, been thinking about wah lately.

Yeah, that JHS lineup looks pretty cool. Look for some to collect them all, which would certainly cover a lot of ground. Heh. Bad pun. They almost look like the generic items from Repo Man (food, beer, etc) which is a big appeal, actually. I have a couple of JHS pedals, they're good. One of my favor...

Better Luck Next Year - Paco del Stinko You tried and you failed All your hard work to no avail It might be worse than you feared Better luck next year Better luck next year - Better luck next year You laughed when it started Now we're all broken hearted Crack open another beer Better luck next yea...

how quickly they forget. :P HA! Busted! No, no, I didn't actually forget, I guess I was just focusing on myself (It's all the rage these days/years) and thought of what a big deal it was, to me, to attempt what I did. You were great and it was an honor to have you there, seriously. I hope that if a...

Many thanks to all of the commentators, always appreciated whether good comments or otherwise. And nothing wrong with criticism, its what helps'ya learn and grow. Even old farts like me. Just wanted to say, not defensively but, rather, explanatorily, that I almost kept my tune in the bank this week ...

Ken's Festival Of Peskiness and Entitlement Instantly catchy pop. While the verses are pleasant and breezy, it's the "aah" sigh of the chorus, so happy when it arrives, that's a joy. The real hook here is, of course, the guitar bit between verses and lines of lyrics within. You found the right amou...

That pesky Ken. He's sooo entitled!


I'll write it up when I get home. Good tune!
