Four and a half days late to the rodeo... and I copied the title as "First Rodeo" so a totally different song.

Also, anyone writing this from the perspective of being down to their last radial?

Almost. It's threatening to be a half-hour dystopian rock opera. Heavy use of metaphor and scene selection should limit it... to less than ten minutes.

Congrats Pannacotta! Your song sounded amazing. Pigfarmer Jr: I voted for myself. :) I suck at reviews - I will try for current fight, but I can't guarantee anything useful. So thanks to all you who DO write reviews. I appreciate them. AJ: Be as generous with your votes as you feel. Reviews take far...

There's a party going on, but we're not invited Tourists getting drunk and fat, we're here for the lights Staring at the concrete walls, eating off a road case Fat Boy wrappers in the trash, borrowed Lasko fan I feel so alone. When can we go home? No, no please not another set of speeches No Sweet C...

Since I don't see anything about LiveFight, I'm guessing that isn't happening this year?

I had a lot of Nein and Ohne Ruhm songs I hadn't listened to in a long time. I liked more than I thought... I narrowed my possible setlist from 33 to 4, with room for new songs. Now to track down a backing band. I really want to do it live, one take. Unfortunately, most of my friends work 2+ jobs, o...

Ok. I read the liner notes and lyrics. It was amusing to see where I hit the mark, and where I missed it completely. Liner notes feel like cheating, like a guy trying to explain why his joke should have been funny. Or an abstract artist trying to explain the serious metaphor underlying her swirls an...

Crumpart = Yes, I watched the video.

My life is a series of interruptions... Governing Dynamics Yeah! Electric guitar! Nice melody. The guitar sounds improvised and overly busy. I got the quotes "Love your neighbor. Go forth and help. Mercy for the lost at any cost." But I didn't really get the context, so I'll have to read your lyrics...

Ok. After a snack if fresh mango from the tree outside, I am ready to continue... Dutch Widows Guitar is good and catchy. Unfortunately the vocals were buried in the mix, and seemed pitchier than normal for you. I couldn't understand the lyrics, so you get a bouncing happy face. Firefly Some fun gui...

Oh, sorry Mandibles: loved the guitar solo

Hi! I don't normally do reviews, but since I like getting them... I tried to draw little mental cartoons of how and what the song made me feel. Melody Klein I'm in awe of your sound design, and that you can work so fast. Your melody tends to be flat, with some small jumps but then return to the main...

Dented Bento We’re waiting for the sun to fall Slap some Band-Aids on his bruises Lunatics and clumsy losers Drunkards in a dirty dance hall Faded posters taped to drywall Cutting words from last year’s muses Slap some Band-Aids on his bruises We’re waiting for the sun to fall Fourteen months of ma...

Thanks for reviews everyone. I *AM* still working on Round 0's "Lord of the Rigs" messterpiece. Barely. "Farting Motorcycle Noise" was a low bass fuzz/ sweep synth. But not the usual sub-bass that I go to. I needed something with a bit more character, due to running out of time/ whole notes bass par...

Still trying to work out lyrics. I was doing "A Nice Morning Drive", written by Richard Foster + "Red Barchetta" by Rush + a VR rowing machine that was actually bringing people into an alternate reality with Vikings. Or was it the 80's video game Bezerk? Anyway, like my Round 0 "Lord of the Rigs" me...

DENTED BENTO - Drag Me Around [shadow] Chased the sun to California Didn't stop, I kept on going Living in a ghost world few can see A ripped and faded memory Limping barefoot over coral Crashing nights on borrowed futons Puppet in the wars of destiny My tattered strings reminding me I never know w...

What do you mean by "ducks"? They got 0 votes? Or they just didn't win?

This was a fun experience. Thanks to everyone who toiled behind the scenes, to Glenn Case for the interviews, and to everyone who submitted videos. Still planning to watch Night 4 and the Live Fight...

Song Fight Live wasn't my first gig.

It WAS my first real video. First Song Fight Live. First time to play iveg songs live in front of other people. First time to sing and bass at the same time. (I tried to sing and play keys, but it was a fail. Better luck next year.)
