Is the idea that we all do a really old song of our own choosing?

After a thousand years I have been cryogenically unfrozen to bring you my final set of liner notes: Thanks for doing all these, Adam! I know we're a small audience and I really appreciate the effort that goes into sharing with us. It's been hecka interesting seeing the wizard behind the curtain. I ...

If you have any suggestions for how exactly to fix the guitars that sound underwater or pointy depending on which headphones you're on, I'll gladly take them. In retrospect, my first listen was probably on my laptop. The headphones I use to mix are yet a different data point - guitar's less pointy,...

The editing gets sloppier and the episodes take longer...

we’ve come to an impasse the only place that we agree is that this can’t last there is no other way when neither of us hears what the other has to say bring your pistol at dawn meet me at the capitol lawn you’ve insulted my reason with the ideas you profess bring your pistol at dawn i’m done with di...

Instead of editing the last New Ugly episode, I decided to bring my D game.

I had fun trying stuff, but I clearly have a lot of criticism for my own song here. Also it's probably "not in this moment"ed even though it's about how people dueled 200 years ago.

“Bring your A game” is a tough challenge, IMO, because it leaves no direction if you aren’t inspired by the title. RIP Nur Ein XI.

Thanks for the podcast! Although please never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever try to do an Australian accent ever again please!

You should check out Manhattan Glutton's Byron Bay.

Edit: Wow this song hasn't aged well. Good thing that guy doesn't come around here anymore.

Well, it's good I took out the 5 minutes of us pondering whether George Orwell was British.

Late! The New Ugly is now The Old Ugly! Some priorities took precedence.
I humbly submit to you how dumb we sound.

I’m prob out of my element, but wouldn’t mass-loading the wall help? For example, mass-loaded vinyl. Can’t vibrate if it can’t move.

This is like a Usenet thread from 1996 See, Caravan Ray, nothing changes! It just takes 25 years to make it to Australia. I don't understand an argument that says one president has the power to implement it but another does not have the power to end it. Well... it's wishful thinking. But I also don...

We don't blame a loss on the "quarterback" or the "pitcher". We play proper team games like cricket. That is your problem. You don't play cricket. And your need to have a "President" to personify success or failure - seems to relate to why USA people like games like American (USA) Football or Baseb...

No - not really. Here - the ultimate authority is "the Crown" - personified by the Governor-General. It is a vague wishy-washy idea that has no real meaning. Yes, and our ultimate authority is the Constitution, which is a very tangible idea that has loads of meaning. Again, our troops and elected o...

So why do you need him? What job does he do? Why does your Constitution give power to one person - when that person could be an idiot? Giving power to one person is a very 18th century idea. It is a bit out of date don’t you think? You're asking me to provide socio-philosophical commentary that I'm...

The only reason I am bagging your Constitution is because my countries constitution is out of date. It was out of date the day it was written. What does the royal crown have to do with anything? We have six state governments. All with seperate health, education, police etc. departments? Why??!?! Ye...

I feel I should also check out gravity kills, I have a feeling I might like them.

This is by far not one of their "top hits", but it's what your song reminds me of. They were my favorite in middle-school... I got into them because of the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack.

We had an episode due this coming Tuesday that's going to be late because the raw recording was nearly two hours long, and I can't reasonably expect to cut a pass of it in that time, let alone chop off the amount that needs to be chopped off to make it listenable (we aim for 55-60 minutes per episo...

I spent more time editing this than working on any song this contest, probably. Who knows.

And how is being "dumbfounded" not an insult to the judges? When you put 5 people with different music tastes together, in an esoteric songwriting community where nobody agrees, in a songwriting contest where nobody agrees on judging methodology, with contestants who have very little aesthetic in c...
