seemanski now and then I think back to when days were spent finding rules that could be bent I think of all the hours wasted away this way passing time by messing around at the video game arcades I don't think that we should regret living for the moment playing out the strength our heads we might h...

I'm in and I'm trying my hand at synthwave (it seemed apt for the challenge), probably failed miserably but we shall see.

So, I thought I would give this reviewing thing a crack. I always feel a bit out of my depth doing this kind of thing, but now I am thinking if you don't try, you never know. So here goes .... Brown Word and the Big Whine : This was obviously a protest song looking at the lyrics and at first I thoug...

Finally, I know really late, sorry got around to listening to your podcast. FYI, Grumpy Mike you are right and my name is Mike Szymanski, I am really lazy when coming up with aliases.

Thanks for your constructive critism as always.

I'll definitely be showing up next year.

Hey no need to wait a year! Show up for the main fight!

Fully intend to, but for now Last of Us Part 2 is calling.

Yay Congrats Jon Eric :) Who'd have thought it, considering after most rounds you were stating this is my last round. Well done to Cavedwellers as they were both great songs worthy of the victory. It's been a great experience for me, thanks for all the love sent my way and the constructive criticism...

See-Man-Ski (Shadow) always callus and withheld doing anything just to save yourself pay no mind to the victim of your crime she's a worthless human being who serves no purpose in your eyes but we all know what you did and we won't let you get away with it CHORUS don't point your pistols at Dawn sh...

That's the bit I was missing, thanks for filling in the gaps.

I wonder how many of the Round 0 eliminees will remember to vote this year. They get a reminder email right? Glad I just had a quick skim through the forums, I didn't know about this. Strictly speaking I was a round 0 eliminee but came back from the dead. Anyway, I digress. How does this work? I'm ...

Well, I'm stunned and humbled.

But also, I'm never doing a synthpop anthem on a one-week deadline, ever again. That was very time consuming and exhausting.

Cavedwellers, I will see you at the dueling ground.

NUR EIN!!!!!!!

Congrats Jon, yours was also my favourite song of this round.

See-man-ski: +1000 for everything leading up to that acoustic break and then -800 for that acoustic break.

What I took from this, I should definitely do more acoustic breaks

My first instinct for this was to think, what would tool do? I then realised that I only had 5 days and not 5 years to write a track, so slapped a 3/4 riff under a 6/4 riff and hoped for the best. I think it turned out ok, not particularly happy with my vocals in parts but sod it, it is a song and a...

Homestretch (shadow) by see-man-ski I took a completely different approach to my songwriting for this. I have been watching a music theory for electronic musicians on udemy, just because why not. So, instead of finding a beat and chucking a tonne of guitars on it I created everything using the pian...

Well, I saw that one coming. I've been clinging on to the bottom of the pile for a while and I knew there was a reason I was reluctant to press the send button. A massive thank you to all the judges and people who took the time to listen to my stuff and provide me with some really great constructiv...

Seemanski, I think you met the challenge too. I never even listen to the examples (although I did have “Black Water” in the front of my mind as an example since I know it so well). But mostly, I was just razzing lunkhead. I mentioned it earlier because I noticed the discrepancy so I wasn’t too surp...

“If only they had provided examples of what they meant!” Is something someone might say in response to Lunkhead. ;) Not me, but someone. To me examples are there to help you but shouldn't stop you from interpreting it how you see fit. Personally I feel I have met the challenge and I don't think tha...

A great round by everyone, I am starting to feel like a very small fish in a massive sea full of very talented musicians. I figured my time was closing to a close soon and I have a feeling this might be the round I drop off in, I ain't over till its over but I am proud to have gotten this far so if ...

Ok, so this is definitely a departure from my normal style. I figured my days are numbered on this, so why not do something new (what have I got to loose). I saw the challenge "include an a cappella section" and decided to make my whole song the section (I only just managed to resist the temptation...

I got into them because of the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack.

I'm sold.

Another great podcast, listening to Abigail explain everything makes me realise how painfully out of my depth I really am, I need to learn some more music theory and stop blagging it so much :shock:. I feel I should also check out gravity kills, I have a feeling I might like them. This was a really ...
