Hyped to see someone covered my track "some truths" - that really made my day and I'm excited to hear it. Feeling inspired to do a cover of my own ... I do have the day free and 10 hours to get it in before the listening party. Would be a heckuva a challenge for me to try to record a cover...

great podcast although I think my rankings are going to be a lot different than the jerks. I loved the Chas Rock song, it was my favorite of the bunch. the comments from the jerks and cybronica were really interesting. and I loved the two chord challenge. definitely my favorite challenge of this spi...

"It Wasn't My Good Fortune" - Third Cat they warn don't concern yourself with another man's good fortune it burns out your soul they warn don't try to understand everything gets lost in black holes it wasn't my good fortune that saved me when the leopards fell from the sky as i hid behind...

Working on something, hopefully I'll get it in before the songs are posted !

Berkeley Social Scene : I like the bass (although maybe mixed a bit high?) and the way the guitars kick in. Pretty cool the way the layers of vocals kick in during the chorus but I don't love the way the one voice does the title line, seems a bit disjointed or something. My favorite part of the son...

I just sent in my reviews/rankings and I think all of you guys did a great job. Jim of Seattle; I love your reviews (and your music is great too.)

Sent in a very late one just now (no swingin)

Third Cat - "Techno Man" (from the imaginary sci-fi musical THE SINGULARITY ) she said it was just a freak accident but she was scared of what I found meant it works but we don't know how lost too much blood, must connect my mind right now no longer fear what I don't understand have to be...

hey jerks & owl - great podcast. it made my day that owl liked my track.

btw jerks - I noticed that I should have gotten cut because botw had me 18th but I was given credit for 16th, so that would have put me one point below Governing Dynamics.

ha, Jim, well I certainly hope the judges don't see it that way. I thought my tempo changes were pretty extreme. I don't see why doing doing half time (and even quarter time) should be a disqualification. Also; there's a section where the tempo gradually increases from 135 to 138 - yes, a very sligh...

Third Cat - "Some Truths" verse 1&2 (90 bpm) limping through my life robotic words of love light fire 'till the moon dies but it still floats above single dose of hope neurotic blasts of fear brain leaks fog in my eyes and the secret's not so clear chorus 1 (135 bpm) finding out some ...

Thanks Jim of Seattle for your reviews; I appreciate the effort you put into them and perceptive points you made about my song. I don't think I have it in me to add my own this time around with there being so many entries, but maybe.

These have been pretty interesting to listen to indeed. Not sure if you're still accepting requests but if you are and get around to it I'd pick these from my songfight entries:

"Try Me"
"The Dream Crusher"
"Blue Woman Yes"

hey paco thanks for the feedback ! this was a fun challenge . and I really think you wrote quite a good song with this one, a good sign that I still like it after spending many hours working on figuring it out and learning to play it (as best as I could anyway) - I really like the bridge in particul...

I finally finished it:

I really like the Carol Dayton Sings song, definitely my favorite of this bunch.

Paco Del Stinko - "Art Bomb" ( adding lyrics for the cover I'm working on .) I used to go to art school until I went and threw it all away I was an art bomb and now I'm all gone I sing a sad song because I did wrong oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ahhhh I used to think I was cool ...

this is such a cool idea, I think I'd like to try it too and get Third Cat on the leaderboard! I was able to get a random song for you: http://sfjukebox.org/songs/art_bomb/Paco%20del%20Stinko thanks. this is definitely going to be a challenge for me. but I like the song. nice one Paco. :!: ( added ...

this is such a cool idea, I think I'd like to try it too and get Third Cat on the leaderboard!

really loved owl/Crown Shy's song this week. thought it fit nicely with the video too. this was a cool challenge idea judges.

owl vs max for the final should be interesting, such contrasting styles but both are obviously super talented.

first song fight of 2021! had to send it in early because I'm out of town for a bit.

"Abuse of Power" - Third Cat

I'll do anything you want
got me twisted 'round your finger
lost out in the dark
for a glimpse of your light I linger
it's abuse of power
anything you want, any hour
it's an abuse of power
