He'll take a backing vocal track, copy it to another track, tune all the pitches, flatten all the pitch warble to zero, and then work out what each harmony note should be on the guitar. Then we'll tune that note on the copied track to what it should be, and then listen to it against the original ba...

SpinTunes is a semi-annual elimination competition. It differs from Nur Ein in that it gives topics instead of titles, and it is only four rounds instead of eight. Also the schedule is slightly less arduous than Nur Ein - you get a little over a week to finish each song, followed by a five- or six-...

Just sayin'.

Updated October count:

Man (10)

Yay, parity achieved.

[jk. Please don't make the next title "Woman Woman Woman Woman Woman Woman Woman Girl".]

The idea came from some curiosity about whether or not "Robot" appeared in SF titles more often than "Love". It doesn't. Love = 8, and Robot = 4 (5 after the Yes, You're A Robot fight). Other interesting items: "You" (34) appears a little more often than "I" (33). That seems to contradict the alread...

We touch on this topic during the Tearing History Down episode of the Two Jerks One Vote Song Fight review podcast so I wanted to post it here. The word frequency count for all Song Fight titles (not including Tearing History Down and Yes You're A Robot) is listed below. I did not include the words ...

Help us out a little: Collin Cunningham aka narbotic is back in what context? Did he submit a song? And if so, under what band name?

I'm glad that you explained that stuff about the text files. I never thought that the duplicate entry bug was being intentionally exploited, but I'd still had a smidgen of residual miffedness about Young Blood (even though Jerkatorium wasn't in that Fight) because I'd made the incorrect assumption t...

I dipped in to the podcast, good stuff. And yes, the bug is still there that the votes are keyed only on the band name. When folks enter multiple songs with the same band name then unfortunately votes for any one of their songs all go to the artist, not the song. If you'd like that changed, please ...

I've voted, downloaded, lurked on the boards, and submitted cover art on and off since 2001, but Jerkatorium has only been submitting songs for 3 1/2 years. It's very likely that Jerkatorium wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for Song Fight, or if we did exist without Song Fight our output would be...

Holy goddamn it's Cow Exchange. I freakin love Cow Exchange. Cow Exchange (and Bovine Recyclery) songs have been on my playlists for the past dozen years or more.

Thank you for posting, I'm glad that you did. I admire your strength and courage, and of course I admire your musical talents too (so hey, make more music).

I really liked your video for Wicker Park so I checked out the album. It's fantastic. Your music makes me very happy.

Thanks a ton Micah, I love your interpretation of 49%; a rousing zydeco version with great vocal harmonies. I've been listening to it over and over.


I would have praised it earlier, but I was too embarrassed to chime in until we got our song done.

Jerkatorium just submitted an entry very late and very sorry about the delay.

Until It Happens To You by Jerkatorium VERSE: We were told we wouldn’t live this long How’d we ever get so much so wrong? What happened to our nuclear holocaust? Where’s my devastating superquake? Post-apocalyptic hellscape? Where’s my earth-destroying asteroid? We were promised grey goo We were pr...

I hope everyone is doing well! Paco and Boffo Yux, have any of you had a chance to finish your theme songs? Jerkatorium shares the blame for Boffo Yux being late - we knew BYD had encountered some unexpected issues, so we offered to compose a song using the lyrics Tommy had already written. We took...

New Jerkatorium music video for "Golf Song":
[Adult language warning]

Flamethrower by Jerkatorium featuring Micah Sommersmith It was a pleasure to burn To set a spark up against the night To feel that hunger return and see the darkness set alight And when I’m throwing the flame It always whispers your name You know I’m so mesmerized And then those flames start to ris...

I've learned to dislike this type of question because for every band I mention there are a hundred other bands who could feel slighted because I didn't mention them (out of forgetfulness or whatever). Of course any band that hasn't participated in a Song Fight for most of a decade is not likely to r...

I could also join the Roymond chorus, but you might not want me to: I do almost all of the backing vocals for Jerkatorium, but more often than not when I do a vocal track that I thought I'd nailed, I end up listening back in bewildered horror to find that I was way, way off pitch. So yeah, if quanti...
